SEMINARS/ONLINE MODULES/TUTORING

SEMINARS: Seminars are conducted when an institution orders one. If you would like your institution to set up a seminar with our program, we will contact them with all the information. Simply e-mail us at edpublishing@passthetexes.com.

If you are an institution, we can conduct full-day and half-day seminars at your location and would be happy to send a detailed proposal to you with pricing. Please complete our seminar survey.

ONLINE MODULES: The TEMs (TExES Ebook Modules) are a great option if you don't think you need tutoring, but might need guidance through all of our exercises and activities. Everything is online in a course format but you can print chapters and worksheets. The course has the same content as our books and ebooks but everything can be done on your computer or portable device. To order, go to the Module link at the top left of our main page or scroll down to the modules just past all of our books and ebooks.

TUTORING: To purchase tutoring, all tutoring choices appear at the bottom of the main page of our website. See a description of all of our options below.

"The Basics" options: This introductory session by phone with our staff is usually held on Sat. mornings and is $45 for just over 1 hour.

With this option your book is also 15% off and provided by refund to your card after the session. This session does not cover subject matter content, but provides a step-by-step review of every part of our study program...worksheets, exercises, study tips, etc.

"The Details" options: If you choose the One-on-One In-Person or Skype® tutoring, you meet with the author or one of our trained tutors in person for a minimum of 2 hours and your book is 25% off and provided by refund to your card after the session. The tutor assesses where you are at in your preparation, spends time with you in a targeted content review, reviews study program activities to lead you into "active study", and provides customized study recommendations. These options are $60 per hour and payable directly to the tutor. You may also pre-pay for in-person or Skype tutoring at the bottom of the main page of our website.
