Chat with your tutor however you wish. You can meet your tutor in person (at your home or company or our studio), or chat with your tutor electronically (by phone or e-mail or fax), or swap documents with your tutor by traditional mail, or use any combo of those techniques!
Russ gives quick help for free, as explained at www.SecretFun.com. The free help is usually restricted to short sessions (about 7 minutes each), but you can have many short sessions. For longer sessions, he charges $25 per hour; stay as long as you wish. Your friends can accompany you at no extra charge: split the $25-per-hour cost. If you're nice, he'll give you some extra time & materials, free.
Donna costs slightly more than Russ; phone for details.

Your lesson lasts as long as you wish, according to your mood at the moment: you decide when you're done. Pay just at the lesson's end, just if you were satisfied. If you cancel a lesson, you don't pay. If you need immediate help for tomorrow's test, phone us and we'll be right there: we adjust to your emergencies. We're easier to deal with than the other tutors (who typically charge charge twice as much per hour, force you into a group session, make you commit to a fixed schedule, charge you to diagnose your weaknesses, make you pay up front, prohibit you from phoning the tutor for more help, and hold you to a contract). Save yourself grief: phone us at 603-666-6644.
