Tutoring Services

Benefits of Tutoring

  1. The tutor is able to identify the learning objectives of the student and can therefore customize the tutorial session accordingly.

  2. The tutor is able to identify the preferred communication style of the student and can therefore customize the tutorial session accordingly.

  3. The student ultimately controls all aspects of the tutorial session (e.g., its duration, the material to be covered, the pace, the amount of interaction between the student and the tutor).

  4. A tutorial session, unlike a typical lecture, encourages and facilitates a significant amount of direct interaction between the student and the tutor. This interaction helps ensure that the student understands the material and greatly enhances the learning experience.

  5. The hourly cost of a tutorial session is quite low in comparison to the hourly tuition cost of a finance course, particularly when the foregoing tutoring benefits are also taken into account.

Individual Sessions

  • The hourly rate is dependent upon the complexity of the material to be covered.

Group Sessions

  • Tutorials with small groups of students (e.g., up to four students) are highly effective, provided that they have similar learning objectives.
  • The group dynamic allows students to learn from each other, in addition to learning from the tutor. (For example, one student may phrase a response to a question in a manner that registers with, or spurs another question from, another student.)
  • The hourly rate per student is considerably less than the hourly rate for individual sessions. Typically, the greater the number of students that are in the group session, the lower the hourly rate per student. In addition, the hourly rate per student is dependent upon the complexity of the material to be covered.

Distance/Online Sessions

  • Distance learning sessions are conducted online or via e-mail or telephone, depending on the needs of the student.
  • Payment options include e-mail money transfers, advance money order payments, or other mutually acceptable arrangements.
