Superprof only allows me to enter hourly rates.  However, I prefer 30 minute online sessions at the following rate:

30 minute online lesson: $20
(discount with 5 thirty minute sessions a week for $80)

I am flexible and can adjust these rates for special schedules or if the lesson has more than one student.

The reason I prefer 30 minute online lessons 3-5 times a week is because that is the rate in which I see most student progress.  This is especially true for students that struggle to read or have trouble focusing for an extended amount of time.

The current research recommends lessons that are intensive, explicit, prescriptive, multisensory, progressive and given in “short bursts” of repetitive practice.  

This lesson format is designed for students with working memory deficits (otherwise referred to as executive functioning).  This is a short term recall problem that exists for many students struggling to catch up to grade level standards of reading.  An example of a common occurrence of this would be the student correctly reading a word (there) on page 2 but forgetting it on page 3.  Mostly, this happens even after frequent practice and effective instruction.  

The research based strategies presented in my lessons are especially designed to help students with these kind of working memory problems. 

My free lesson is actually a diagnostic that takes place during the first lesson.  It may take more than 30 minutes to complete the diagnostic, score it, and create an individualized tutoring intervention plan.  However, it will still be free and the diagnostic score results (with learning plan) are shared with the student/guardian before the official  lessons begin.
