RATES and PAYMENTS

            Please select a plan from the above tutoring choices that best suits your child’s needs.  Statements are mailed on the 15th of the month and are due by the FIRST of the month.  Payments are due in advance of each month’s tutoring. Late or partial payments  will result in an $18 late charge.  Returned checks will result in a $25 fee.  Clients who are 2 months behind in payments are automatically dropped from the program.

 

                New clients are asked to provide the center with sufficient material and information to set up an educational program.  A brief  educational screening may be completed, if needed, for a $90 fee.  This can help determine the direction of the tutoring.  This is not mandatory.  In certain cases, we ask that new clients have a conference with the child’s tutor at Pacific Learning Center in advance of the first tutorial session.  This is at the discretion of the teacher; however, if a child has a history of learning difficulties or attention difficulties, it is required.  This meeting is waived most often for a returning client or a situation in which the direction for the tutoring program is very clear.

 

                Conferences may be scheduled at any time.  Please call the office to make arrangements for a parent/teacher meeting.  Our teachers are often able to attend school conferences if needed.  The charge for teacher conferences (by phone or in person) will be at the students’ hourly rate IF longer than 10 minutes.  Consultations may also be scheduled with the director (Carol Taylor) to discuss special situations.  The charge for these consults will be at the rate of $56 per hour.  Written reports or year end reports are available upon request at the rate of $20 per report.  Most
parents find these reports to be very valuable.
