Tutoring Details and Guidelines

 

We recommend at least one hour per week per subject. We will accept other arrangements, but in general the effectiveness of the tutoring will be diminished. If HQT grading required, see details on portfolio review or management.

 

Once you’ve agreed upon the subjects and number of hours, we need to speak with the parents. Use our handy tutoring request form to give us the necessary information to efficiently provide tutoring for your students. Alternatively, email or call us to let us know that you’ve submitted paperwork for a particular student. If not using our on-line form, be sure to give us this information:

 

·         Parent’s name & phone number

·         Student’s name, age, subject and grade level

·         For on-line tutoring, include parent and student email addresses

 

We will email you once the tutoring is arranged and will give you the tutor’s contact information.

 

Portfolio Details

 

All portfolio management options include pacing guide/Timeline and Report, mid-term, and final creation! To add in-home or online tutoring, see rates in Tutoring Chart above.

From that information, the HQT will provide a Timeline and Report (includes pacing guide info in an easy-to-use format with all assignments and due dates listed) and midterm and final information. If you want the HQT to use your own pacing guide to create the Timeline and Report, you must inform the HQT when submitting curriculum information. In addition, the pacing guide must be sent within 7 days for approval.

2)      The student is responsible for monthly delivery of work samples to HTP. Only copies of corrected and graded assignments are to be mailed to HTP according to schedule. The HQT will give the ES (and parent if requested) a monthly email report based on the work received from the student.

5)      A semester grade will be given based upon student achievement in relation to the Timeline and Report and exams.
