Their message
Hi Mrs. Mitchell — my son Daniel just started Algebra I at GW Middle School and is already struggling with the pacing. His teacher recommended getting outside support. He has an IEP for processing speed accommodations. Looking for someone who can do weekly sessions, ideally Tuesday or Thursday afternoons. Thank you!

Worth covering

A few points families typically want to know in your first reply.

  • Your hourly rate
    Or your range, if it varies by subject
  • Where you tutor
    Their home, library, virtual, or your home
  • Typical session length and frequency
    Most families want to know if it's 45, 60, or 90 minutes
  • Materials the student should have ready
    Textbook, notes, recent assessments, etc.
  • Cancellation or no-show policy
    Sets clear expectations early
  • A concrete next step
    A specific time slot, intro call, or trial session
Tip: If you've sent a reply like this before, copy and paste it into the field — most tutors keep a personal template they tweak per family.
