July 2025

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th! Not much to report on for this month - enjoy the weather, and get ready for the new school year!

- Important: If you're planning to raise rates, please remember to let both your case manager and office manager know. If you are going to raise rates for the new school year, this is the time to do so. Our range of rates is now between $110/hr - 125/hr for OG, EF, and subject-based work, and $155/hr - 165/hr for test prep work. If you are currently charging clients below these rates, please let me know. Remember that we promise to provide 30-days notice to existing clients before making any changes (and typically put the new rate in effect at the onset of a new school year). You will only need a new contract with clients if you change rates and/or subjects; otherwise, your existing contract remains in effect. If you have questions about raising rates, please reach out to me!

- Important: I am still working on setting a timer for the lock that will keep it open during business hours, and will send updates once that's been completed.

- The LINKZ Columbia office has been fully repainted! Please let Michelle know if you need any assistance getting your office back in order, and please try to keep it clean as best you can (the walls should be easier to keep clean moving forward!)

- The downstairs printer at the LINKZ Columbia office should now be fully fixed. We are still working on fixing the upstairs printer, and we'll let you know once that's done.

- One of our wonderful coaches, Shayne Swift, has created an awesome workbook on ADHD - please check it out here!

- I'll be leaving a permanent link to the LINKZ Handbook in this section, in case you need any reminders on policies, rules, regulations, etc. If you need a reminder of your login information, please email Michelle. Here's the link!

- I'll also be leaving some permanent reminders here, as they're always important:

- Don’t start with a client until you have signed contract!

- Please remember that, when you receive a new client, you need to make contact with that client within 24 hours. It's important to make that initial contact right away, so if you're unable to, please let your case manager know.

- Put any in-office hours into TutorCruncher at least a week in advance!

- Our offices are open 24/7/365!

- If you’re making any semi-permanent or permanent changes with a client (changing times, subjects, etc.) you must let your case manager know first!

- If you have questions about something, check the manual and/or email me, Michelle, Elisa, Jenn, or Carolyn!

- No planned workshops for now - we'll have more in the fall!
