Great Concierge Tutoring! Using Tammy for my husband who has a traumatic brain injury and has had to re-learn things from arithmetic to spelling and grammar. We've seen so much progress in just 1 year of weekly sessions. She's patient and tailors the sessions to apply to real-world situations for my husband who works part-time as a software engineer. Highly recommend Tammy and her concierge tutoring services!

What is Concierge Teaching?
 ~ When a home-schooling parent is unsure how to teach a particular set of required lessons, concierge teaching may be necessary
 ~ When a home-bound student is unable to receive required lessons, concierge teaching may be necessary
 ~ When a student needs more than just assistance with their homework, notes or studies, or due to extended absence, concierge teaching may be necessary
How can this service be utilized?
Example:
A student with a second concussion resulting in traumatic brain injury was rehabilitating her injury and unable to attend classes. When she finally felt up to it, she Skyped in to a few classes trying to keep up with her peers. When her parents decided she was well enough for more education but knew that regular school was still too much for her, they hired a "Concierge Teacher" to come to their home as often as their daughter's health allowed.  She was taught curriculum, used a textbook and technology, took exams to check for understanding, and worked on assignments in-between visits, just like a regular school-room class. But the pace was based on the student's needs, not the school's calendar. Once the student completed the coursework, she was able to network with her school to test out of the class, earning her credits toward graduation. 

This service is perfect for students with extended absences, such as a student missing school for physical, psychological or social issues, or even a student with extended absences due to sports, out-of-school theatre, family business, etc. Once the student tests out of the contracted course, they can rejoin their peers in the next course in school, as usual.  (Please note: it is up to the parents to arrange details such as testing out of the course with school administrators. Sonomarin Tutoring cannot guarantee that every school will accept/participate in this program.)

 ~ A Concierge Teacher is hired for longer periods than a tutor, and billing will include preparation time, the IRS allotted amount for travel, and reimbursement for any required materials.
 ~ Since the Concierge Teacher will teach curriculum like a classroom teacher, but move at the students pace, the duration is often for a quarter, a semester or a full school year.

Our tutor was incredible. She was able to immediately identify stumbling blocks and clear up issues that were preventing my son from succeeding in Algebra2. Her insight and knowledge helped him raise his grade, and he had a great time, too!

As a student, I can see your passion for teaching, and it somehow influenced me at the same time; believe it or not, I began to like learning about history... I feel very lucky to have you as one of my teachers...and you are definitely my FAVORITE teacher... I am grateful for all your support and everything that you have taught me

Janet understands the demands of each project she takes on and works diligently to produce clear, concise, and effective writing. She is wonderful to work with and goes above and beyond what is asked of her. Her attention to detail, tireless editing, reliability, and flexibility are a few of the many qualities that make her an excellent choice for editing or writing projects. She has helped me improve as a writer and constantly pushes me to expand my skill set further. Highly recommended!
