Pleasanton Tutoring FAQ
How much does Varsity Tutors cost for students in Pleasanton?
There is not a predetermined cost to work with a tutor for students in Pleasanton. There are a variety of factors that contribute to the price you'll pay for each study session.
For instance, you may see a different rate to have a high school junior at the Quarry Lane School review for their finals with a current college-level professor as opposed to having a grade school student work on their math skills with a college student pursuing a teaching degree. Another factor might be the overall number of sessions you intend to schedule. You may pay a lower rate reviewing concepts throughout a school term as opposed to spending a handful of sessions to prepare for the LSAT. You can receive more detailed information from our Educational Directors.
