The classes are tailored to the specific needs of each student or group of students. 

The suggested scheduling varies depending on the student's goals, so it is best to email or call to discuss the range of options and figure out what is most beneficial. Some topics, such as learning everything related to doing laundry (including cleaning the machines and trouble shooting basic issues), can be covered in one session where others might take a full semester. 

Each skill has a different tuition determined by material cost and typical length of time necessary to ensure the student has a firm grasp of the information. For skills that are more effectively taught in your own home (learning to organize a bedroom by actually doing it, for example), I will travel to you for a nominal fee based on distance. If the cost is not financially possible for your family, visit the Scheduling page for creative options.

Supporting thoughts...

Through many years of working with students of all ages and backgrounds, it has become clear that one of the primary factors that determines their overall confidence and success toward any worthwhile goal is responsibility. Children who have responsibility - to themselves and as a member of their family - are less stressed, more confident, have better problem solving abilities, are more grateful, and generally more capable and pulled together than those who do not. The earlier they take on responsibilities, the greater the effect.

A one year old can throw clothes in a hamper. A two year old can put their own toys away, sort laundry, get out their dishes for meals, and put them away once they are clean. By fifth grade, a human can wake themselves up with their own alarm clock, keep their own calendar, pack for themselves for the day - including snacks/lunch that they prepared, make their own breakfast (not cereal, but cook eggs and toast!), make their bed every day and keep an organized room, do their own laundry, take on several household duties, have basic street-smarts and survival knowledge, express their thoughts coherently, and present themselves confidently. 

Yet most high school seniors - even the ones with straight-A's in all AP classes, the 'popular' kids, the star athletes, the 'talented' ones - do not have a healthy composite of these foundational skills. Year after year, I see parents panicking as they send their children off on a week-long trip or to college because they realize they are not ready for Life. Some who do realize it before college spend senior year - a year already packed with demands - trying to cram in over a decade worth of knowledge and skill sets. It doesn't have to be this way. Let's start replacing an emphasis on cuteness with an obsession about competence. Respect for their intellect and setting high standards are not a recipe for an unhappy childhood. Quite the opposite. It can start now, whatever your child's age.
