In-home tutoring prices in Dallas
Tutors with experience in ADHD, autism, or dyslexia often charge $50 to $90 an hour.
$75 per session.
The rate is the same for every grade level and subject.
The first consultation is free.
What every session includes
- Your tutor's full attention for the whole visit. No other students to share time with, no waiting for a turn.
- Materials made for your child, not a shared workbook. Your tutor builds worksheets and activities around what your child is working on that week, then adjusts them the next week based on how it went.
- A written note after every session, covering what was worked on, how it went, and what's next.
- A progress report every month, so you can see the pattern across weeks, not just one visit at a time.
- Travel to your home is part of the price. There's no separate travel fee, and no drop-off or pickup to arrange.
How billing works
-
Your tutor sets the exact days and times with you at the consultation, as part of your child's plan.
-
You choose how many sessions a week fit your child, with a minimum of one. You book a standing time, for example Mondays and Wednesdays at 4:00 pm, and that time is kept for your child every week.
-
Sessions are billed in advance, monthly or every two weeks, based on what's scheduled for that period.
-
There are no packages to buy and no long-term contract to sign.
When siblings share a visit
Brothers and sisters can be tutored in the same visit. Every visit is at least 60 minutes, and each child gets at least 30 minutes of that time.
| Children | Visit length |
|---|---|
| 1 | 60 minutes |
| 2 | 60 minutes (30 minutes each) |
| 3 | 90 minutes (30 minutes each) |
Pausing, stopping, and cancelling
- No contract holds you in. Pause or stop at any time with 14 days' written notice. Sessions during that 14-day window are billed as usual. If you stop, any sessions you've already paid for that haven't happened yet are refunded within 10 business days.
- Cancelling a single session works differently from stopping altogether. Give 24 hours' notice or more and we'll move the session within the same billing period, or credit it if we can't. If you give less than 24 hours' notice, or no one answers the door within 15 minutes of the start time, the session is charged, the same as if it had happened.
- Sick days get one pass a month. If your child is sick, please keep them home. One same-day cancellation for illness is credited each month. After that first one, the 24-hour rule applies.
- If your tutor has to cancel, you're never charged for it. The session is rescheduled or credited to your next invoice.
For vacations, holiday closures, and every other rule in full, see Family Policies. It lists this year's closure dates as well.
Questions about cost
How much does a tutor cost in Dallas?
Tutors with experience in ADHD, autism, or dyslexia often charge $50 to $90 an hour. Cedar Elm is $75 for 60 minutes, one-on-one, in your home.
Is the price different for older kids or harder subjects?
No. A Geometry session costs the same as a Pre-K reading session: $75 for 60 minutes. The rate is set by time, not by grade or subject.
Do you offer a lower rate if we book more sessions a week?
No. The $75 rate is the same whether your child has one session a week or several. Booking more sessions gets your child more time with their tutor, not a different price per hour.
Why do I pay in advance instead of after each session?
Because your child's weekly time slot is held for them and isn't offered to another family. Billing in advance is what makes that reservation possible.
What am I actually paying $75 for, beyond the hour in my home?
The hour is most of it, but not all of it. Before the visit, your tutor plans the session and builds materials around what your child specifically needs that week. After it, your tutor writes the session note. That preparation, along with travel to your home, is part of the $75, not billed separately.
Can we skip a few weeks for a school break or a trip?
Yes. Tell us at least 14 days ahead and those sessions aren't billed. A longer pause works the same way: 14 days' written notice.
Do I owe anything for the first meeting?
No. The consultation is free, and nothing is billed until you and your tutor have agreed on a plan together.
