All tutoring must be held at The Fletcher School.
At the initial meeting with a tutor and the first meeting of each month thereafter, a schedule will be agreed upon for the entire month. Tutoring schedules should take into consideration holidays, vacations, extracurricular activities, and other appointments in order to prevent missed sessions.
Tutored students must sign in and out at the Student Security System by the Front Desk to record attendance.
Sessions canceled 24 hours in advance will be rescheduled. Sessions canceled less than 24 hours in advance will be charged at the standard rate. Please contact the Front Desk at frontdesk@thefletcherschool.org or 704.365.4658 to cancel a tutoring session.
Sessions will last the designated length of time, keeping to the agreed-upon schedule. Tutoring will end as scheduled, regardless of arrival time.
Outside meetings, such as IEP and school conferences, will be billed at a rate of $65 per hour.
A statement will be emailed no later than the 10th of each month for the previous month’s charges. Payment will be due by the last day of the month and will be made online through FACTS.
Tutoring sessions will be suspended for accounts more than ten days past due.
