Common questions

The questions parents ask most about our programs. Still unsure? Let's talk.

How do I know which program is right for my child?

Programs are organized by age and stage — Jumpstart (ages 3–4), Leaping (ages 5–6), and Soaring (ages 7–8) — but the real answer comes from your child's current skills, not just their birthday. In a free 15-minute conversation we'll figure out the right fit together.

What does tutoring cost?

It's all on our pricing page — a $80 one-hour consultation, tutoring at $75/hour (or $40 per half hour), and multi-session packages that save up to 10%. Your free 15-minute conversation always comes first — no cost, no obligation.

How often will we meet, and for how long?

Sessions run 45–60 minutes depending on age and program. Most families start with one session per week and add a second once we've found a rhythm. We'll set the right cadence together.

How quickly will we see progress?

Most parents notice a shift in confidence and attitude within the first 4–6 sessions. Measurable skill gains — fluency, decoding, comprehension — typically show up clearly within 8 sessions, and you'll get honest written updates throughout.

Do you offer in-home and online sessions?

Both. Across Williamson County — Arrington, Brentwood, Franklin, Nolensville, College Grove, and Chapel Hill — sessions can be in your home or at our studio. Online sessions work beautifully for children ages 5+ anywhere.
