The amount you can expect to pay to learn with a tutor for students in Akron depends on factors that are unique to your situation. Since every student's learning needs are different, there is no one-size-fits-all cost for everyone.
For example, if you sign up for weekly sessions throughout the term to review everything you learn in class, you may pay a lower rate per lesson than someone signing up for just a few sessions of MCAT test prep. It can also depend on the credentials of the tutor your student at Akron STEM High School is meeting. Speak with one of our Educational Directors about your needs to get a more accurate quote.
