Frequently Asked Questions
Which package is right for me?
The majority of our students are on the 3+ session package. Families that need even more flexibility to skip sessions do the 2+ session package. And students who want to really accelerate their learning do the 6+ session package, meeting twice per week most weeks. If you aren’t sure, just choose one for now and we can discuss by phone.
How do the additional sessions work?
Breakout Mentors customers attempt to meet weekly at a set time (or twice a week). But we understand it doesn’t always work out perfectly. Our packages provide flexibility to skip, so that you don’t have to scramble to reschedule if it is too difficult.
If you are able to hold additional sessions beyond the minimum included with your package, they will be billed individually at an extremely discounted rate. For example, on our most popular 3+ package plan, they are just $125 each, a savings of $33.
Do you offer a free trial or satisfaction guarantee?
The first session is risk free with a satisfaction guarantee. If you don’t feel it is a fit, we will issue a 100% refund for the package.
What is the commitment? How does canceling work?
Even though we plan a long-term mentor, your commitment is just one month at a time. Just let us know before the first of the month if you ever want to stop or change monthly packages.
Is the price the same for all the tracks? What about the Girls, Machine Learning, and USACO Academies?
The price is the same all the way through AP CS difficulty, including the Girls, Machine Learning, and USACO Academies (the only difference is the 6+ session package is not available for those tracks). There is no limit to how far your son or daughter can go with Breakout Mentors, our goal is to always provide the next challenge. This is true across the spectrum from learning to code to more advanced computer science.
Some Breakout Mentors students progress beyond AP CS level with their mentor. An example would be studying for the USACO Gold level or advanced Machine Learning projects for college applications. For these students there is an additional fee per session. The Academies may also have some optional events for an additional fee. For example, a hackathon for the Girls Academy or mock tests for the USACO Academy.
What is the “for low as $85/hr” rate?
This is based on meeting 8 times in a month (twice a week) on the 6+ session per month package. This would total $1015 for 12 hours of mentoring, coming to $84.58 per hour.
