How It Works

Logos Tutoring has 2 classifications of subjects: those for which we always have tutors available, and those for which we may have tutors available. We have slightly different procedures for each category.

Continuous Availability
For subjects with continuous availability, the student or the student’s parent takes a look at the tutoring packages available, and decides which package is right for them. Once the student or the student’s parent (if the student is under 18) has selected the package, then he/she fills out the Information Sheet/Tutoring Contract. We cannot offer tutoring services without a complete Information Sheet and a signed Tutoring Contract. There is an electronic signature line that has the same legal meaning as a hand-written signature. (We do not accept signatures of students under 18.) Then, the student or student’s parent proceeds to checkout for payment. A Logos Tutoring employee will call the student or student’s parent within 48 hours to set up a meeting time between the student and tutor. Locations are wherever is convenient for the student, within the Houston metroplex.

Or, if the student or student’s parent prefers, call Logos Tutoring at 713-927-7599 for more information.

Subjects - Probable Availability (call for availability)

The day before:

Logos Tutoring will send out an email reminder the day before the scheduled session to both the student and the tutor.

The day of the session:

Please provide reachability by telephone, especially cell phone. The tutor may be stuck in traffic, may have trouble getting into a complex’s gate, or the like. In the experience of Logos Tutoring ’ the failure of a student to be reachable by cell phone (or home phone, if applicable), near the session time is an indicator that he/she has forgotten about the session or plans to no-show.

The tutoring session

Logos Tutoring finds that a well-prepared student gets more benefit out of the tutoring session than an unprepared one. Preparation generally means making a good-faith effort to try to understand the material, having questions prepared, and being organized. Students should have their books on hand, and whatever ancillary materials such as calculators or internet access that may be needed.

Our tutors are experts in their field of study. They should be able to answer most student questions; however, it may sometimes be necessary for the tutor to refresh his/her recollection from the book or a research resource on a particular point.

Logos Tutoring tutors are taught to make the student do the work. We have found through extensive research that when students do the work themselves, they are much more likely to remember what they learned, instead of just watching someone else do the work for them.

Completion of the session

Upon completion of the session, the tutor will have the student sign a log stating that the student has received tutoring services. The signature by the student doesn’t signify anything else other than that tutoring session actually took place.

After the session

Let us know how we did. For first time students, our tutors have a 5-minute sealed evaluation form that the tutor will not see to be filled out by the student at the completion of the session. We have an online evaluation form that only takes a couple of minutes to fill out.
