Payment policy - Private Pay - Boost currently accepts payment through Venmo or Check. An invoice will be sent prior to the first lesson that will cover the cost of all the lessons for that month. An invoice will be sent at the start of each month thereafter. Classes will not begin until payment is fulfilled.
​
Charter funds - Boost is a vendor with Horizon, South Sutter, Cottonwood, Sequoia Grove Alliance, and Visions. Funds are accepted from each of these charters. A Purchase Order (P.O) must be approved and sent to the tutor before classes can start.
​
Missed lesson policy - If there are any conflicts with our scheduled class time, please give at least 1-week cancellation notice so the tutor can plan accordingly. A make up class can be scheduled with this much notice. Cancellations same day or with less than 24 hour notice are considered missed lessons and can not be made up, unless at any time the tutor canceled class in which case you are guaranteed a make up.
​
Sick policy - for in-person lessons - If the student or anyone in their household has one or more of any sick symptoms at all (including runny nose, sneezing, cough, loss of taste/smell, sore throat, fever, etc), give 24-48 hour notice in order to reschedule the lesson. With less than 24 hour notice, lessons will be either held virtually, or missed with no make-up. If the student shows up for an in-person lesson and is displaying one or more of any cold/flu symptoms, they will be sent home before the lesson starts and this will be considered a missed lesson. Please do not send your child to class with even a runny nose or cough, it is really hard to turn a student away at that time. So please do not put the tutor in that position. Thank you!
​
Late policy - If the student is late to a lesson, the lesson will start from the point they show up and end at the original lesson end time. The lesson length will not extend beyond the original end time and will be charged the full amount. I will wait for a maximum of 10 minutes before canceling the class and this will be considered a no-show/missed lesson.
​
Early exit policy - ​For virtual lessons - if the student needs to cut the lesson short, or leaves the lesson at any time prior to end time and does not come back within 10 minutes, no refund or makeup will be offered.
​
Class Closures/Holidays - Classes are OPEN on all public school holidays (such as Monday school holidays like labor day, memorial day, etc) with the exception of Easter break, Thanksgiving break, and Christmas/Winter break.
​
Expectation policy - Every student is expected to be willing to engage in the lesson and participate in the instruction without distractions (if the lesson is virtual, and a quiet space is not possible, headphones can help reduce distraction). If a learner has a specific challenge with engaging, please discuss with the tutor beforehand and there will be understanding and willingness on the tutor's part to work with the student in helping them engage and participate.
FAQs
What is different about Boost tutoring? Boost teaches language arts for all ages solely using the complete Logic of English curriculum. This curriculum teaches a set of skills which the learner can take with them and apply to new words independently. Like having a key to a lock, they simply apply the knowledge gained from the curriculum and thus become self-learners. Learn more about choosing Logic of English on the tutoring page of the Boost website.
​
How often does my child need tutoring? This all depends on the need of the student and is ultimately up to you. If a student is using my services for their entire language arts studies, then 3-4 days a week is ideal. If the students needs supplemental learning, then once or twice a week is fine, twice a week is encouraged. We are here to serve you, so let us know what you would like!
​
What if my child is already using Logic of English on a daily basis for their school? Even better! We offer supplemental tutoring as well. The student would be assessed and receive support where needed. Supplemental tutoring is a rich and effective tool for every level learner.
​
Where do I get the materials? Which specific materials are needed will depend on the level of the learner and what materials they already have. Every learner will need a whiteboard, dry erase markers, and eraser.
​
Are the sessions one-on-one? Yes. Whether virtual, or in-person, Boost offers one-on-one lessons. This allows the curriculum to be taught at the learner's pace.
​
How long is each session? Lessons can be either 50 minutes, or 80 minutes if splitting time with another subject. For example, if I am teaching your student language arts and art, we will spend the first 30 minutes on art and the remaining 50 on language arts.
​
What age is this curriculum geared towards? All ages and all stages! From beginning learners, to college educated adults who struggle with reading or grammar, this curriculum delivers new information that will increase the knowledge of the English language and how it works.
​
Does Boost accept charter funds? Boost currently accepts charter funds for Cottonwood, all 3 Sequoia Grove Schools, Visions in Education, South Sutter, and Horizon Charter. Many charter schools will also reimburse for services, so please check with your school.
