Home Instruction

Home instruction is required when a student is unable to attend school. This is usually due to illness or suspension. New York State mandates that home instruction be provided immediately for any student who is suspended from school. Policies differ from district to district, but generally children who are out of school due to illness are placed on home instruction after missing 1 or 2 weeks of school. Each secondary student receives one 2 hour session per week for each subject for a total of 10 hours. (Elementary students receive 5 hours/week.) Some teachers tutor 2, 3, 4 or 5 subjects with the same student. We will never require you to tutor any subject you are not comfortable with. The schools are supposed to supply you with the work & materials and you are expected to pick them up and drop them off at the school periodically.

Tutoring is usually done at the home or the local library. If the student does not show up for an appointment, you will be paid for 1 hour only if you notify our office right away. If tutoring is done in the home, an adult must be present.

A student may be on home instruction for any length of time. Some of our teachers spend the entire school year with the same student.
