Good to know

Questions families ask

Do the sessions have to be in order?

No. Each session stands on its own. Session 1 is a great place to start if it’s coming up, but students can join any week.

What if we miss a class?

Let us know at least 24 hours ahead and your class credit is saved. The same session runs Thursday and Saturday each week, and the whole rotation repeats, so you can catch it next time. A missed class without notice uses a credit.

How does payment work?

The full series is $340 for all 4 sessions (a $20 savings), or $90 for a single class. After you sign up, you’ll see a link to pay. Spots are held for 48 hours and confirmed once payment is received.

Can I get help in another language, or with accessibility?

Yes. Email tutoring@ldaminnesota.org and we’ll help you sign up and make sure your student has what they need. You can also use your browser’s translate feature on this page and on the sign-up form.

Where are classes held?

All classes meet at LDA Minnesota, 5101 Olson Memorial Highway, Suite 6000, Golden Valley, MN 55422.
