Frequently Asked Questions

What is your hourly rate?

Tutoring is billed at $140 per hour for all subjects. If our schedules allow, additional time can be added in 15-minute increments for $35.

Discounted rates may be available for families who prepay for multiple tutoring sessions. Please contact me for package options.

Do you charge any other fees in addition to your hourly rate?

No, my hourly rate is all-inclusive and covers worksheets, study materials, session notes, and any supplemental resources I prepare for you.

When are you available for tutoring sessions?

I’m typically available Monday through Friday from 3:00 to 9:00 PM. Availability may vary around school holidays and breaks. If you don’t see a time slot that works for you, reach out, and we’ll find a solution.

What’s the difference between in-person and online tutoring?

The quality of instruction is the same, whether we meet in person or online. In-person sessions take place at San Felipe & Voss, while online sessions are conducted through Microsoft Teams using a document camera and screen sharing as needed.

If technical issues interrupt an online session, you won’t be billed for the affected time.

How does in-person tutoring work?

For in-person tutoring, we’ll meet at the following location:

Starbucks** – San Felipe & Voss
1655 S. Voss Rd.
Houston, TX 77057

Feel free to grab a drink, and we’ll get to work! Sessions last one hour. At the end of the session, we’ll have time to wrap up, coordinate our next meeting, and gather any materials.

After our session, you’re free to keep my notes and any supplemental material I’ve prepared for you.

If getting to this location is inconvenient, I encourage you to try online tutoring. You’ll receive the same high-quality tutoring experience from the comfort of your own home – though you’ll have to make the coffee.

How does online tutoring work?

Online students can meet with me from anywhere they have a stable internet connection, including internationally.

A few minutes before the session, you’ll receive an email from info@davidthemathtutor.com containing a Microsoft Teams link.

I write all of my notes on paper in view of a document camera, and I may share my screen if needed to show a graph or figure. You’ll be able to share your screen and camera feed as well, if needed.

At the end of the session, we’ll have time to wrap up, coordinate our next meeting, and I can send you my notes as photos via text or as a PDF via email.

What should I do to prepare for a tutoring session?

Email or text me any relevant materials you’d like to cover, such as homework assignments, exam reviews, class notes, or specific problem areas. The more information I have in advance, the better I can tailor our session to your needs and goals.

What payment methods do you accept?

I accept a variety of payment options for your convenience:

  • Credit/debit cards
  • Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay
  • Zelle
  • Afterpay (for flexible installment options)

A card is required to reserve appointments booked online, but you may use another accepted payment method after the session. You may choose to keep this card on file for future appointments, which makes the booking and checkout process easy and convenient.

What is your cancellation policy?

Appointments may be canceled or rescheduled according to the cancellation policy shown during booking. Please reach out as soon as possible if something unexpected comes up.

What if I’m unhappy with a session?

Your satisfaction matters to me. If you have a concern about a session, please reach out so I can address it directly.

Will you do my homework for me?

No, but I’ll guide you through it and help you understand how to solve the problems step by step. My goal is to help you build confidence and problem-solving skills, not just get the answers.

Will you take quizzes or exams on my behalf?

No. I believe in teaching with integrity, and completing quizzes or exams for students goes against those values. Relying on shortcuts can also harm your long-term success, especially if your future classes build on the material we cover.
