We cover a range of subjects typically offered in middle school, including Math, Science, English, Social Studies, and more.

Rates are consistent throughout this period.

College & Adult learners
This package is tailored for learners from the summer before college starts until graduation or certification. We offer tutoring for college-level courses and help students prepare for certification exams. Our focus is solely on academic course content; we do not provide college or academic counseling.

IMPORTANT POLICIES
Refunds
Refunds are not available once sessions have been paid for, unless the client cancels their session 6 hours before the scheduled time. If a client is dissatisfied with a session, they must provide a specific reason for their dissatisfaction. Refunds may be considered on a case-by-case basis if there is a valid concern regarding the quality of the service provided.
Cancellations
Clients must cancel sessions at least 5 hours in advance to avoid receiving a partial refund. If a cancellation is made within the 5-hour window before the session, the client will receive 50% of their payment back. This policy is in place because significant preparation goes into each session, and late cancellations prevent other clients from booking that time slot.
Rescheduling
Clients are required to reschedule sessions at least 2 hours in advance. If a session is rescheduled within this 2-hour window, a $10 fee will apply. Failure to pay this fee may result in suspension of future sessions until the balance is cleared.
Confidentiality
At Empowering Hours, we take client confidentiality very seriously. All personal information shared by clients will be kept strictly confidential. In the unlikely event of a breach, clients have the right to take legal action. We are committed to maintaining the privacy and trust of our clients at all times.
