Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions? Our FAQ section has you covered with quick answers to the most common inquiries.
What makes HSA Tutoring different from other educational agencies?
We are an entirely student-run nonprofit, meaning we not only have more recent experience with the process, have stronger relationships with the students we work with, and also have more affordable rates. All fees are paid directly to our student tutors, student management team, operational costs, and Harvard's Financial Aid Office.
How are tutors matched with students?
You have the choice! Search through our tutor matching search engine to find the best tutor for you. You can also reach out to the team for us to help you.
Do the hours expire?
No.
How many hours should I buy?
For rising seniors/current seniors, we suggest 10-15 hours to finish the entire application. For juniors and younger, because our hours do not expire, we suggest purchasing 20 hours for cost-saving benefit. Those hours will be flexibly used to address different concerns at different stages of the application (9th will be foundations and strategy, 10th will be building extracurriculars, 11th will be maximizing extracurriculars and connecting the story, etc.).
Do the hours apply to other subjects?
Hours cannot be used across different package types, meaning college counseling hours cannot be used for SAT, or for academic tutoring. However, SAT and ACT hours are interchangeable, and Academic tutoring hours are also interchangeable (e.g. 10 hours of math tutoring could also be used for english or any other academic subject we tutor).
How do I check how many hours I have left?
To view your remaining hours, log in to your Tutor Ocean account and navigate to your Dashboard. You will see your balance listed under the My Packages section.
What should I do if a student misses a session?
If a student misses a session and needs to be reimbursed for that hour, please fill out the Customer Support Form on our Website. Alternatively, you can ask your tutor to submit this request on your behalf.
How do I request SAT or test prep materials?
Please ask your tutor to contact us directly. Be sure to specify exactly what materials you need and the quantity required (e.g., "3 ACT practice exams").
What if my tutor isn't a good match?
We want to ensure you have the best possible learning experience. If your current tutor isn't the right fit, you can:
- Browse Tutor Ocean: Search through other tutor profiles to find a match that aligns better with your needs.
