Introductory Session
If you’d like to learn more about how our tutors work, we can schedule a one-hour preview session. You will only be charged for the session if you decide to continue work with that tutor.
Pricing
Our tutoring rates range from $175 per hour to $300 per hour. Rates are based on a variety of factors, such as length of time a tutor has been working specifically with A-List and the tutor’s ability to generate his/her own referrals.
You may order as many individual sessions on a week-to-week basis as often as you would like, depending on tutor availability.
Payment is due at each session (with a one session deposit) unless otherwise arranged with A-List. A specific tutor’s availability may be subject to seasonal fluctuations and can only be guaranteed with a package purchase or by prior arrangement.
Package Deals
A package is a large portion of tutoring sessions you buy ahead of time. Once you buy a package, you can distribute the time you’ve purchased however you want, depending on your and your tutor’s schedules, although most students prefer to meet one hour a week.

Basic Preparation
This plan is a good match for students who are near their target score goals and are looking to refine their approach and technique. Students focusing on just one subject area and those having already completed significant preparation may find this package appropriate.
Standard Preparation
For many students this will be the best bet to prepare for the test. For SAT students it allows for complete review of The A-List Book of Knowledge (covering the Math, Reading and Writing sections) and review of at least 3 Diagnostic Tests.
Premium Preparation
Students who want extensive preparation will want to sign up for the Premium package. This plan provides a comprehensive approach to preparing for tests, offering complete coverage of the individual subjects and supplemented by reviews of as many Diagnostic Tests as time allows (at least 6). Premium packages are also best for students who want start work before the PSAT and continue on to the SAT.
Custom Preparation
Generally, the more a student prepares for the test, the more his or her score will improve. However, a variety of factors must be considered when planning a curriculum. We recognize the need for flexibility and can customize a plan accordingly. If you do not see a program that fits your needs, contact us and we will tailor a package to match your specific situation.
Group Discounts
We offer special reduced rates for students who wish to meet in groups. Packages for groups of two or more require final approval by the tutor. Requests for group discounts with tutors who bill at $200 per hour or more will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
