This is a one-on-one lesson with a student where I would travel to the student's house. Thirty minute lessons are standard and work well for young kids.
Individual
$45
Per hour
This is a one-on-one lesson where I travel to the student's house. A one-hour lesson may be recommended for students with longer attention spans and ability to focus.
Group
$40
Per half hour
This is a lesson for 2-3 students at one time, where I would travel to one of the students' houses. I generally prefer the students to be at around the same level of proficiency, as it makes the group lesson go more smoothly. Parent and child student combination is welcome for this group lesson also.
