Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about spreadsheet utoring sessions, pricing, and scope.

What is included in a standard tutoring session?

A standard tutoring session is a 30-minute, one-on-one learning session priced at $90. Sessions focus on explanation, guided learning, and helping you understand concepts clearly.

Tutoring sessions are instructional in nature and are designed to support learning, not to deliver completed work or solutions.

Do you open, review, or modify client files?

No. Client files are not opened, viewed, read, or modified during tutoring sessions.

All instruction is conducted using prepared tutorial materials provided by Pi Tutoring. This ensures sessions remain focused on learning and can be delivered consistently across tutors.

Do you fix spreadsheets or debug problems during sessions?

No. Tutoring sessions do not include spreadsheet fixing, debugging, cleanup, or troubleshooting.

If you are looking for someone to fix or build a spreadsheet, tutoring is likely not the right service for that need.

Is VBA, macros, or automation covered in tutoring?

No. Tutoring does not cover VBA programming, macros, automation development, Apps Script, or scripting of any kind.

These topics typically involve implementation work and fall outside the educational scope of tutoring sessions.

Can I share my spreadsheet during a session?

You may reference examples for discussion at a high level, but client files and screens are not shared. Tutors will not open, view, inspect, or edit spreadsheets.

Sessions focus on explaining concepts, patterns, and approaches rather than reviewing individual files.

What does “customized tutoring” mean?

Customized tutoring is available for learners who need longer sessions, multiple sessions, or a structured learning plan tailored to specific goals.

Customized tutoring remains educational in scope and does not include spreadsheet fixing, automation, or development work. Pricing and structure are discussed individually based on learning objectives.

Who is Pi Tutoring for?

Pi Tutoring works with students, adult learners, working professionals, and career switchers who want to build understanding and confidence in technical and analytical subjects.

Do you complete homework or assignments?

No. We do not complete homework, assignments, or exams on behalf of learners.

Tutoring is designed to help you understand the material so you can apply it yourself.

How do I know if tutoring is right for me?

Tutoring is a good fit if you are seeking explanation, conceptual clarity, and guided learning.

If you need someone to fix a problem, build a solution, or deliver completed work, tutoring may not be the appropriate service.
