Frequently asked questions
Starting early is crucial—summer and winter breaks are perfect times to get ahead. At Trantor Tutoring, we’ve had 8th graders mastering Calculus! We’ll develop a personalized plan to keep the pace challenging yet achievable.
Yes, you can choose between in-person and online tutoring. I’m equally committed to both. If you can attend in person, I recommend it. If you’re out of state, online tutoring works just as well—many of our students are fully remote.
Most earn 5s on AP exams in Physics, Chemistry, and Math. Others have seen big jumps in class grades. I’m proud of their effort as much as the score.
Prepaid Lessons are non refundable.
Please share your school/vacation calendar early.
≥ 7 days’ notice: cancel/reschedule at no charge.
< 7 days: I’ll try to fit a make-up that week. If nothing fits, the session is billed—same for sickness/emergencies. Clear rules help keep rates low for everyone.
Yes—2–4 students. Matching schedules and levels is the hard part. If you bring friends/classmates to form a group, everyone gets a hefty discount.
Yes. I first figure out the root cause—fundamental gaps, low interest, learning issues, stress—and adjust instruction. Progress usually shows within a few sessions.
At Trantor Tutoring, we cover Math (Pre-Algebra to AP Calculus AB/BC), Physics (Honors & AP 1/2/C), Chemistry (Honors & AP), AP Statistics, and other STEM subjects. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
Quick check-in → concept teaching → guided practice → rapid recap → homework plan. Focused, personal, no busywork.
Yes, your student will receive targeted problem sets and brief concept summaries. Homework helps solidify concepts and guides the next lesson.
Yes. I triage the highest-impact topics. Deep gaps can’t vanish overnight, but we maximize the time we have.
Our peak season (March–May) fills up fast. To secure your preferred time slot, we recommend booking 2–3 weeks in advance.
Absolutely—great time to preview next year or fix weak foundations.
Yes—a paid trial lesson. If you don’t feel it’s a fit, I’ll refund it in full.
I accept Zelle, PayPal, or cash. Singles are prepaid before each session; packages are paid upfront. Receipts available.
Packages don’t expire immediately (let me know your timeline; I typically allow several months). Just give me a heads-up so I can manage scheduling.
