Location.
Kathleen and Ev live in Springfield, VA. We typically meet with students at their homes or at a library. If you live in Alexandria, Arlington, or Fairfax, we can meet with you in person at your home. If you live in Maryland, DC, or elsewhere in Virginia, you are probably outside of our driving range.
For students who live outside of our driving range but would still like to work with us, we do offer our services through Skype or Zoom. We may also be able to meet at a library, school, or coffee shop that lies within our working area. Please schedule a free phone consultation if you wish to discuss such an arrangement.

Availability.
Ev is available to meet with students on Tuesdays through Fridays between 4 PM and 7:30 PM. He also meets with students on Saturdays between 11 AM and 5 PM. He does not tutor on Sundays or Mondays. He will always be unavailable between Christmas Eve and New Year's Day.
Kathleen is available to meet with students on Thursdays and Fridays between 4 PM and 7:30 PM.
Our calendars usually book up a couple of months in advance. Ev and Kathleen currently have extremely limited availability over the next couple of months and more copious availability thereafter.
Kathleen and I keep a short-term waiting list for students who wish to schedule tutoring sessions in the near future when we are already fully booked. If any of our other students cancel, the students on the waiting list have first choice of the newly available times. If you wish to arrange a full course of 10-12 tutoring sessions, however, we would encourage you to contact us well in advance.
Finally, we keep several times set aside each month for the initial planning session that we hold with all new students. (Read more about that here.) We would be happy to schedule a planning session with you even when our normal tutoring schedule is booked solid.
