How the tiers are decided
The tiers follow the audience, not the position a course occupies in a curriculum diagram: high school, then introductory college, then upper-division engineering.
That is why AP Calculus and AP Physics C: Mechanics sit in the Foundational tier despite covering college-level material. They are taken by high-school students, in a high-school schedule, alongside other high-school coursework — so they are priced like it.
It is also why physics and chemistry are listed by level rather than as bare subjects. High School Physics and College Physics I are different courses with different expectations, and they belong in different tiers. If you are unsure which tier your course falls into, say so in your inquiry and I will tell you before we schedule anything.
What every session includes
The hourly rate covers the preparation before the session and the materials that arrive after it. There is no separate charge for either.
- Full Video Recording Included
- High-Resolution Whiteboard PDF
- Proactive Syllabus Review
- Flexible Online Scheduling
Online vs. in person
Online sessions are available anywhere in the United States and are recorded end to end. In-person sessions carry the higher rate because of travel, and are limited to roughly a 15-minute radius of ZIP code 23462 in Virginia Beach, or Oberndorf Central Library on Virginia Beach Blvd.
Cancellations and rescheduling
Sessions are paid at booking. Cancel or reschedule more than 24 hours before the start time and you receive a full credit toward a future session; inside 24 hours the session is forfeited. The full terms are in the Cancellation Policy.
Current Midshipmen
I offer separate pricing for current U.S. Naval Academy midshipmen. Having been one myself, I understand the schedule, the workload, and the academic environment. Reach out directly rather than using the tiers above.
Not sure which tier your course falls into?
Send the course name and what you are working toward. I will confirm the tier and the rate before anything is scheduled.
