Customize the Amount of Hours that Work for You

  • The hourly basis tutoring option allows students to receive preparation for the DAT without having to commit to one of the three packages. 


  • Set up the amount of hours that work for you. The hourly basis tutoring option is an alternative where students pay for tutoring by the hour, instead of committing to an entire package. This option if preferential for students who've already attempted the DAT in the past, and only need a few tutoring sessions with a certified DAT instructor prior to writing their upcoming test. This option is also preferential for students who may want to trial with Tutor STEM's DAT tutoring before committing to the DAT prep package.


  • The hourly tutoring rate for the American DAT is the same as the hourly tutoring rate for the Canadian DAT.

Customize the Amount of Hours that Work for You

  • The hourly basis option rate for the DAT is $90/hr. This rate is slightly more expensive than the standard hourly rate students would typically pay when taking one of the three DAT preparation packages.


  • The hourly rate equivalent for the 10-hour bronze package comes down to $80/hr, whereas the hourly rate equivalent for the 16-hour silver package and the 24-hour gold package both come down to $75/hr. This is slightly less expensive than the stand-alone hourly basis tutoring option rate of $90/hr. 


  • The packages also include materials and resources, whereas the stand-alone hourly basis tutoring option does not.
