What kind of
screening does NOVASTAR PREP do before selecting a tutor?
Extensive screening is performed on each potential tutor before they are
ever hired by NOVASTAR PREP. Our first step is to explain the high
standards NOVASTAR PREP expects from our tutors and the level of
commitment required. We then go on to assess their appearance,
deportment and comportment to guarantee a level of professionalism. We
collect proof of experience, degree status and letters of
recommendation. NOVASTAR PREP tutors must have at least a Bachelors
Degree and have at least three professional references which are
thoroughly verified along with a complete criminal background check.
Only 10% of Tutors applicants are then asked to join NOVASTAR PREP.
How do you know
the right tutor to match with me and my student?
A professional NOVASTAR PREP consultant will meet with you and your
student before assigning a specific tutor. At that time a joint
decision will be made as to the best possible tutor available for your
individual needs and circumstances.
In what subjects
do you offer tutoring?
NOVASTAR PREP offers a wide array of tutoring. From Pre-K to College
and professional level exams. NOVASTAR Prep also provides one-on-one
instruction in many foreign languages. (Please see the list of provided
services)
How frequent are
the tutoring sessions, and how long are they?
At the time that you meet with your personal NOVASTAR Prep consultant
you will decide on what works best for you and your student. Whether it
is one 1 hour session a week or more NOVASTAR PREP tutors are prepared
to work with you to achieve maximum learning. As the learning process
continues you are free to add extra time as needed.
Where can the
tutoring sessions take place?
NOVASTAR PREP can take place in your home or in a location of your
choice. The choice is yours.
Do I need to
purchase educational materials or resources for the tutoring sessions?
Tutoring is based on your students textbooks and school curriculum. If
your student requires additional educational resources, the tutor will
talk with you directly and provide suggestions on materials that can be
purchased.
How will I stay
informed about what’s happening in the tutoring sessions?
Your NOVASTAR PREP tutor will check in and check out with you each
tutoring session. This will allow you to share any new developments or
goals and will allow the tutor to keep you informed about the progress
your student is making.
How can I
measure the results?
There are many ways to measure the results: but one of the very best
ways is in gauging your students confidence level in their
required skill. NOVASTAR PREP encourages parent involvement and will
give you suggestions on ways to measure your results.
