(After that it is just $35 per month)
If your child isn't enrolled at Excel Achievement for one-on-one tutoring, but you'd like homework help for your child, the rates are only $25 per hour for this service.
What is “Homework Help?”: A structured, quiet environment supervised by an Excel Achievement staff member where students can work on school assignments or study for an upcoming exam.

Achievement
Center ’s tutoring programs are one-on-one individualized programs with specific objectives to be met through Excel’s unique and research-based curriculums.Homework Help has a maximum student to teacher ratio of 3:1.This small group setting allows students a chance to work independently, as well as receive some structured guidance as they work to complete assignments from their classroom at school.
