Tutoring

Home About me Posts

I offer tutoring services to families and individual students in any North American timezone.
I am now offering both online tutoring, and in-person tutoring for students who are fully vaccinated in Manhattan (Uptown) and Queens (west of Corona Park)

I can accomodate at most two students in parallel per month. Currently BOTH slots are open!

Subjects and rates

• Computer Science/Programming - $60/hr (65 minutes)
  • Topics such as: general programming, functional programming, algorithms, Linux, web services, networking, databases/architecture, or anything else you see on my résumé.
  • Qualification: I am an experienced, full-time software engineer specializing in backend engineering at a fast-growing startup.
• I have previously tutored subjects such as reading/writing, and math, however am no longer offering these subjects. Sorry about that!

Discounted rates

If you choose to buy lessons as a lesson package (recommended), I offer the following package discounts:

• 4-lesson package (one lesson per week): $20 off total package cost
• 8-lesson package (two lessons per week): One lesson is free!

Only packages of 4 or 8 lessons are available, and you can only pay for additional lesson packages after the 4th or 8th lesson (respectively).

Payment and important info

I accept payment via PayPal, Venmo, cash, or check (latter two for in-person lessons only).

• For packages, payment is to be received in advance, at least 24 hours before the first lesson.
• For individual lessons, payment can be made at the beginning of a lesson or any time before.
• Time/money spent traveling to an in-person lesson will be reflected in the lesson price. For example, if it takes me 30 minutes to get to a lesson, an additional fee of $27.50 will be added per lesson.
• If you feel that a lesson went poorly, or you would like to stop lessons entirely, I offer the following refund policy:
  • If it is an individual lesson, 50% of will be refunded (not including travel costs).
  • If you are seeking a refund for a lesson package, only remaining lessons will be refunded.
• Normally, I will email students with relevant homework/reading after each lesson. It serves as useful lesson review and preparation for the next lesson.
  If you’d like to opt out of this, please let me know.

If you’re interested in lessons, or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at: avi [@t] avigloz [d.ot] net
Please include an appropriate subject line to ensure I read your message (such as “Computer science lessons for my daughter”).

Fees and notices

• Any cancellations within 24 hours of a lesson forfeit 25% of the lesson fee, except in serious circumstances. Please take care to cancel as soon as possible, as that will ensure you get your money back.
• No-notice absenteeism (more than 20 minutes late or no-show, with no warning) forfeits 100% of the lesson fee. I will not begin a lesson more than 20 minutes after its scheduled time.
• I reserve the right to cancel individual lessons as needed, or stop giving lessons entirely. Full (prorated) refunds will be issued.
