Fees:

Academic Tutoring:

$105 per hour during prime tutoring hours (after 1:00 pm) and during the summer.

$90 per hour during morning hours when schools are typically in session.

Sessions are typically one hour in length. There is no contract or ongoing commitment required. See Cancellation Policy below.

Diagnostic Tutoring Series: $525 for six one-hour tutoring sessions. This special, discounted series focuses on informal educational evaluation and strategic planning. The cost is not pro-rated for fewer sessions and must be completed within the agreed time frame.

Educational Evaluation: The cost of a typical comprehensive cognitive and achievement battery is approximately $1800. Evaluations of more limited scope may be considerably less. Formal evaluation consists of extensive time spent on scoring and interpretation of tests, initial and follow-up conference, and report writing and production in addition to the time spent in testing sessions.

Consultation: There is no cost for an initial telephone consultation in which we can discuss your concerns and interests. Extensive addtional telephone or in-person consultation is billed at $85 per hour. There is no charge for brief, routine consulations with parents of ongoing tutoring clients.

Payment Terms: Payment is requested within 30 days of billing unless other arrangements are pre-made; otherwise a finance charge may be incurred.

Cancellation Policy: Clients will be billed for scheduled appointments missed without reasonable notice.

Scholarship Funds: The Kaulele Scholarship Fund was established in 2003 with the generous support of area residents Walter and Marcia Kortschak.  The Kortschaks have strong motivation to help students who struggle with learning differences.  They understand, through their own experiences, that independent evaluation and support services make important, positive differences in the lives of students who are facing academic challenges as a result of a Specific Learning Disability.
 
Since 2003, the Kortschak family has given over $130,000 toward this goal, enabling Kaulele Education Services to provide diagnostic educational evaluation, limited academic tutoring, and planning consultation to over forty island families from nine different schools who could not otherwise afford this help on their own.  Families receiving services through this fund are asked to help extend this good will to others by making a contribution that is within their financial reach.  Over thirty families have made such contributions, bringing the total scholarship services provided to over $150,000.  Beginning in 2008, the Kortschaks further agreed to match all contributions from scholarship recipients, thus doubling the impact of those who support the fund.
