Mastery Method is designed to be transparent. You'll always know what you're paying for, what's included, and what each step is designed to do. No hidden fees, no lock-in contracts, no pressure to add more than your family needs.
Traditional tutoring charges by the hour. The more your child needs, the more you pay — with no end point in sight. Mastery Method is structured differently.
The Clarity Assessment is a one-time investment that produces your family's first Teaching Blueprint. The Clarity Pathway is a monthly subscription that keeps that blueprint current, gives you guided support at home, and includes regular check-ins with Kirsty. Targeted 1:1 Sessions are only added when specific gaps need direct teacher-led work.
The model is designed so that your family becomes more capable over time — not more dependent on paying for more sessions.
Most families begin with a free Clarity Call, then move to the Clarity Assessment, and continue with the monthly Clarity Pathway.
Here's how the Clarity Pathway compares to a typical weekly tutoring arrangement — not just in cost, but in what your family actually receives.
| Weekly tutoring | Clarity Pathway | |
|---|---|---|
| Typical monthly cost | $240-$320/mo | $127/mo |
| Parent visibility | Little or none | Blueprint + monthly check-in |
| Home support | Not included | Weekly guided activities |
| Progress tracking | Vague updates | Pillar-mapped, visible |
| When sessions stop | Progress fades | Family has tools to continue |
| Focus | Content re-teaching | Transferable clarity skills |
Yes. The Assessment produces your first Teaching Blueprint, which the entire Pathway is built around. Think of it as the foundation that makes everything else work.
No. Month-to-month, cancel anytime. If your family reaches a point where you feel confident continuing independently, that's the goal.
No. Targeted 1:1 is completely optional and recommended only when Kirsty identifies a specific gap that would benefit from direct work. Many Pathway families don't use them.
The monthly cost is typically lower than weekly tutoring. But more importantly, it includes things tutoring doesn't: a Teaching Blueprint, curriculum visibility, weekly home support, and monthly check-ins. You're paying for a system, not just someone else's time.
