Procedure
Location of lessons:
The student comes to our office in Berkeley: 474 Michigan Ave., Berkeley, 94707
Standards:
The content of our courses exceeds state standards in every case.
Textbooks:
We try to use older editions of wonderful books. These are available on the internet at very reduced prices. If we get the book for you we relay it at our cost.
Homework:
Homework is generally assigned at the end of every lesson. The typical assignment takes about half an hour to complete.
Extra help:
All students have telephone access to their teacher and may phone as
often as necessary, at no charge, and they are strongly encouraged to
make use of that resource. Sometimes just a word or two can save the
student a lot of time.
Tests
In
the private setting, regular formal testing is generally not needed for
evaluation purposes, however tests are often given to document progress
and to help acquire test-taking skills.
Behavior:
Because our office is now located in a residential neighborhood, it is
important that quiet be observed as the student comes and goes. (No
loud talking, no loud music please.)
