Diagnostic Testing
$40.00
We provide low-cost academic diagnostic testing to all students from K-12th grade. The diagnostic depends upon the student’s goals. High school students are assessed for SAT/ACT readiness. The test results will reveal the student’s target areas for growth, and from that data, the center directors can make a customized academic plan.
Subject Tutoring, Elementary
From: $50.00/hr.
Our tutors assist the student in his or her growth areas for reading/writing/math/science/social studies using our center’s materials, the student’s schoolwork, or a combination of both.
Subject Tutoring, Middle and High School
From: $55.00/hr.
Our tutors assist the student in his or her growth areas for core curriculum (including AP classes) and most electives using our center’s materials, the student’s schoolwork, or a combination of both. Classes at this level require a high level of expertise in a tutor. Our tutors assist students in areas: Pre-calculus, Physics, Chemistry, Math, English and other areas of need.
Robotics/Engineering
From: $50.00
$50-60/hr.
Hands-on and in person, students receive 1:1 instruction and practice in Java/Python/Blockly/Arduino/Vex123/VexIQ/VexGo/Vex V5/Lego/Birdbrain/PLC.
Depending on the student’s mastery level and goals, projects range from “just for fun” to a more intense, career-focused approach.
Parents can purchase just a few coding/robotics/engineering hours as an add-on to other services, or these topics can be a main area of focus for the serious STEM student.
SAT/ACT Tutoring
From: $55.00/hr.
After pin-pointing each student’s challenges, our tutors provide instruction and coaching on SAT/ACT content, strategy, and timing to give students the best odds of quickly-boosted test scores. Classes at this level require a high level of experience and expertise in a tutor.
CogAT, ISEE, and other Standardized Test Instruction, Elementary
$60/hr.
Only tutors with proven experience with these unique tests will instruct students. We use center-provided materials specific to each level and each test, as well as materials to help build foundations in any areas of need.
College Essay Preparation/College Application Process
From: $60.00
$60/hr ($120 per 2-hour session)
This process requires intense focus by the student and the tutor on a student’s unique accomplishments, experiences, and goals. Therefore, these sessions are 1:1. We can help a student develop a series of college essays (including supplemental essays), complete a resume, and get started with the overall application process, which is a true exercise in deadline management, information gathering, and timely requests. Our center can also help parents access information on available scholarships, along with many helpful “do’s” and “don’ts.”
Business and Interpersonal Communication Skills -Adult
From: $45.00
$45/hr ($90 per 2-hour session)
Many adults (most, in fact) don’t feel comfortable talking in front of a group, and some might even have a complex language background and wish to improve their reading, writing, and grammar skills, whether for business or personal interactions. If you’d like help preparing for a presentation, writing more effective business emails, maneuvering social media, writing effective blog entries, or just expanding your vocabulary and having better conversational English, our certified instructors are here to join forces with you — in a judgment-free zone — and help you feel confident in your unique interactions.
We also offer accent reduction instruction for anyone who desires it (and that goes for native speakers too, if you feel your level of “Texas twang” sometimes prevents others from really hearing your message).
Computer Programming – Adult
From: $60.00
$60/hr ($120/2-hour session)
Students receive 1:1 instruction and practice in Java, Python, C, C++, or other programming languages. This course is designed for adult learners looking to augment their professional skills in a low-pressure, self-paced atmosphere. Ideal for the professional who can’t make the time commitment of a more formal class that meets several hours a week. Everyone may take this course, from absolute beginners to those who’ve mastered the basics.
After School Programs
We also take our show on the road, providing after-school enrichment programs to several local elementary schools. Robotics and Drone Club are popular offerings, and can be adapted to older or younger students. Ask your school's office staff if Pierce Institute already provides after-school programs on your campus. If not, we are always looking to expand our services into more schools, so please contact us with your suggestions and desired opportunities for after-school programs for your campus.
Mini-Camps During School Year

Is your child passionate about 3D printing? Well, so are we! Join The Pierce Institute for our 3D printing mini-camp November 20th through 22nd (the days leading up to Thanksgiving). 10:00-2:00 each day.
Students will learn:
-
Responsible and safe handling of open-style and enclosed-style printers
-
Machine maintenance and minor repairs of common problems
-
How to use the programs required to make it work (such as scaling a print to a desired size and converting a file to a usable format)
Lots of kids will receive a 3-D printer as a holiday gift, and many already have one. Make the most of that investment!

Professional Editing and Proofreading
Rate: $55/hr
Adults and students alike sometimes need a proofreader/editor, whether it’s for a high-stakes essay, application letter, or other important document. Perhaps you need help developing or “polishing” a presentation (in Power Point, Google Slides, Prezi, etc.).
When your paper or presentation MUST impress, come see us, and just pay by the hour. Unlike tutoring, you might only need to see us once, and we’re happy to help!
(This service is for adult professionals as well as students.)
