Private Sessions for School Students
Would you prefer to come to UT Dallas campus & get one-on-one tutoring from CS Outreach instructors and progress in your own pace? Or, do you live far away from the campus or simply prefer online sessions? We can accommodate both! We can help with most programming languages and other CS topics (our tutors may be able to support other areas, case by case basis) online or in-person. Follow these easy steps to set it up:
- Submit the requirements/details to csk12@utdallas.edu
- We will review & inform you if we can handle it.
- Visit UTD registration system utd.link/rpt to register each child separately and sign the online forms required by UT Dallas and pay $25 (this payment covers one hour of tutoring). Note: This registration has to be repeated for every school year (around the end of August) to comply with UTDallas Program for Minors rules to continue private tutoring.
- Forward the email receipt to csk12@utdallas.edu
- We will respond with the tutor information – then communicate directly with the tutor to schedule the first session!
- After the first session, estimate # of hours for the next week/month and pre-pay at utd.link/pth (fee is $25 per hour for 1 or 2 students & additional $5 per hour for each additional student at utd.link/pay – you can add them like shopping cart and checkout together as one transaction).
- Forward the email receipt to the tutor to keep going!
You can adjust the amount for the following month based on the actual usage during the current month & we will continue with the pre-paid model. You can keep the sessions one-on-one OR you can find a friend to join and split the cost.
Note #1: UT Dallas rules require that the parent be present with the child for the whole tutoring session / continuously monitor the communication during tutoring sessions (both online and in-person). Thanks for your understanding & complying with the UTD regulations.
Note #2: Just like the real world (well, at least Texas), our student workers work for CS Outreach “at will” and most of them do change their jobs every semester! So, while we may want the same tutor to engage with your child for the whole duration, we may be forced to change the tutors along the way!! That is the limitation of using college students as tutors 🙁 Thanks for your understanding again!
Private Tutoring for UTD Students & Adults
We can provide private tutoring for most CS topics. Follow this procedure to get started. In case the assigned tutor does not work out along the way, please email us – we will assign a new tutor – no problem!
- You should submit the tutor request to csk12@utdallas.edu
- We will review & assign an instructor if we can handle it & inform you.
- You should pre-pay for a few hours through utd.link/pth (fee is $25 per hour for 1 or 2 students & additional $5 per hour for each additional student at utd.link/pay – you can add them like shopping cart and checkout together as one transaction).
- Start the tutoring & keep track of the hours, pay again when you run out of hours.
If you decide to cancel the tutoring along the way, please let us know – we will refund the balance. Also, if you would like to change the tutor, please let us know as well.
Private Sessions at Off-site Locations
Do you live far away from the campus, or even in another city? Want to gather a few friends and have coding sessions/camp in a local library or a community meeting space? Sure, we can come to you! You can select the days, hours and topic – we will send the instructor your way! Use this calculator to get an idea about the fee.
Don’t know which one to get started? Review the background information, one-page flyers on popular camps and detailed description of most topics. You can also review this slide-deck if you are specifically interested in off-site coding camps. Please submit your request online. We will call you within a day or so to discuss and confirm. You can email us to get started.
You can pay the fee once you get the confirmation. Total amount can be paid as a lump-sum or the individual families can pay for each child separately. Here are the steps to pay for Offsite Sessions:
