The Scholars DEN FAQ'S
frequently asked questions
How does your online tutoring service work?
1st we ask that you complete the consultation form so that one of the Scholars Den Teachers can reach out to you to discuss the academic needs of your child and/or children.
2nd your child will be matched to a qualified Scholars Den Teacher(s).
3rd one to one virtual tutoring sessions are set up using Calendly and we begin working with your child and/or children.
How soon can my child get started?
We will be able to start working with our Scholars within 48 hours.
What do I do if I would like to re-enroll for more hours after I have completed a bundle?
You can reach out to your child's Scholars Den Teacher to discuss how to continue services. We will notify you before you have completed your last few hours. When you renew with us we will provide you with FREE additional Den hours.
For Example:
12 Hour Package = 1 Free Bonus Hour
24 & 48 Hour Package= 2 Free Bonus Hours
How do I spread out my hours as each week/month passes?
So we would suggest the following:
If you choose to space it out by 2 hours per week:
12 Tutoring Hours will last 1 and a half months= 6 weeks
24 Tutoring Hours will last 3 Months= 12 weeks
48 Tutoring Hours will last 6 months= 24 weeks
If you choose to space it out by 3 hours per week:
12 Tutoring Hours will last 1 month = 4 weeks
24 Tutoring Hours will last 2 Months= 8 weeks
48 Tutoring Hours will last 4 months= 16 weeks
Can you describe a session length and how they are divided weekly?
We usually work with students 2-3 times week. The hours are divided within the three days that we are available (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday)
Student A (8th Grader):
Tuesday: 1 Hour
Wednesday : 1 Hour
Thursday: 1 Hours
= 3 Hours Per Week
Student B (5th Grader)
Tuesday: 1 Hour
Thursday: 1 Hours
= 2 Hours Per Week
Are your tutors certified and how long have they been teaching?
All Scholar Den Teachers are certified educators. Each teacher specializes in specific subject areas. Once you have been paired with a tutor(s) you will get the opportunity to meet them during a mini virtual orientation online or receive a call from them by phone.
What are the steps for my child to start their tutoring services once I have purchased a Bundle or Den AS YOU GO package?
The Den As You Go package is similar to Pay As You Go. If you are not sure about purchasing a bundle and want to see if The Scholars Den is right for you than you can purchase by the hour sessions, but this all depends on the Scholar Teachers availability. All schedules will be made using a Booking App/Site called Calendly.
For Example:
Student A (8th Grader)
Tuesday 1 hour= $70.00
Total=$70.00
Student B (5th Grader)
Tuesday 1 hour = $70.00
Thursday 1hour=70.00
Total=$140.00
Does Scholars Den have any discounts or special offers?
Enrolling more than one child and want to know if we have discounts for multiple siblings?
Of course we do! The first child pays full price, second child receives 10% off. Plus with our bundle deals you can divide the hours between siblings (i.e 48 Hour Bundle=Sibling A 24 hours and Sibling B 24 Hours)
What do you mean by MONEY BACK GUARANTEED?
If you’re not happy with our services, we would be glad to work with you to come to a resolution and if you’re still not satisfied, any unused hours you paid for will be refunded, no questions asked.
