Basic Tutoring |
This tutoring is for students who want help with general English for their CESL courses or perhaps for entering an undergraduate university program. For example, general speaking practice or grammar help are common requests for basic tutoring. |
$300 for 10 hours $175 for 5 hours |
|
Elite Tutoring |
This tutoring is for students who need higher-level, more intense tutoring in specific subject areas or specific requests. For example, it can be working on preparing for TOEFL/ IELTS speaking (or any other section of these exams), pronunciation, or academic writing.

$600 for 10 hours $345 for 5 hours |

Skill Intensive Workshops (SIW) - Small group workshops. |
A group of two to five students can request an intensive workshop focused on a particular English skill (such as speaking, listening, reading, writing, or grammar). The students must apply, pay and register together. More students in a group reduces the cost per student ($15 - $37.50 per hour). |
$750 for 10 hours for the entire group |
* All tutoring options require an additional $30 application fee + $20 technology fee. For the SIW option, all participants must pay these fees.
All sales are final. The tutoring fee is not refundable, transferrable or deferrable.
