Questions

English literature tutoring FAQs

Are lessons online or in person?

Either. Online lessons take place over video, so you can learn from anywhere in the U.S. In-person lessons depend on a suitable tutor being available near you. You can choose either option when you request a tutor.

How long is each lesson?

A standard lesson is one hour. If a shorter or longer session would suit the learner better, let us know when you request a tutor.

What does it cost?

You pay us a set hourly price that depends on the learner’s level, rather than negotiating with each tutor. See our pricing page for details.
