Hi Hi!
I'm looking to supplement our household income some and I need some input from the parents in our group if you would all be so kind....
How much would you consider reasonable to pay for 15-20 hours of small group (max 8 students) instruction for your child (4th grade to about
10th grade, maybe older if a severe need) in the following:- identifying his/her personal learning style, lots of recommendations on how to use that knowledge to his/her advantage
- introduction to and practice of test taking strategies and various study skills, including specific ways of taking and organizing notes from lecture and from text
- some personalized tailoring of individual study plans based specifically on your student's learning style?
Would it make a difference to you (in any way and if so, what ways) that the individual doing the instruction has a degree in special education, even though her teaching certificate is currently expired?
What part of the school year would you most likely seek out and utilize a service of this type: September to get things off to a great start, Late October/Early November after the first report card, etc?
I am seeking this information in order to have a starting idea of what to charge for this service. I would hate to have this fall apart because I start out so far off on what is reasonable. I'm not a parent myself -- I wouldn't know where to start.
Oh, and this is primarily a blue collar town during the non-tourist seasons.
TIA, Tricia
