4- or 8-Hour Packages
Save money by purchasing bundles of 4 or 8 hours at a time. Packages costs less per hour than sessions booked on a “pay-as-you-go” basis, because they make it easier for your writing tutor to plan ahead. To buy a package of sessions, just tell your assigned faculty member that you'd like to reserve either 4 or 8 hours, and they'll send you an electronic invoice via Square. Payment is required in advance; it is not possible to pay for your tutoring package in installments.
: packages — tier 1
Foundations Rate
4-hour package: $110/hr ($440 total)
8-hour package: $95/hr ($760 total)
Occasionally, writing tutors on our faculty may want to build up their client list more quickly than usual. To do so, they can choose to offer our reduced Foundations Rate to incoming students. If you sign up with one of our tutors at the Foundations Rate, you will be able to keep that rate in place going forward (even after they stop accepting new students at the Foundations Rate).
packages — tier 2
Standard Rate
4-hour package: $150/hr ($600 total)
8-hour package: $135/hr ($1,080 total)
The Standard Rate is exactly what it sounds like: Gilliam’s standard rate for meetings with our tutoring faculty. This rate reflects the professionalism and expertise that clients expect from our team of instructors and academic coaches.
packages — tier 3
Plus Rate
4-hour package: $180/hr ($720 total)
8-hour package: $165/hr ($1,320 total)
The “Plus” Rate applies to in-person services or last-minute requests (those made within 24 hours of the desired appointment time). We value transparency, so you’ll never be surprised by unexpected charges at this rate. If your service qualifies for the Plus Rate, your tutor will inform you in advance and confirm your approval before proceeding. This ensures flexibility and tailored support when you need it most.
