How does the Magellan Tutoring payment system work?

Direct Answer Our standard plan is a membership: a six-month or nine-month (School-Year) plan billed every 4 weeks by ACH or card autopay, with hours every child in your household can share, up to 8 weeks of pauses a year, and no cancellation fee — end a term early and the hours you used simply adjust to our standard package rate, never more than $200. For a short, focused goal we also offer packages of 15 to 40 hours, which renew automatically (we email you before any charge) and can be upgraded into a membership any time with full credit.

Detailed Breakdown

We recommend a six- or nine-month membership, because that’s how long real progress actually takes. Here’s how each option works:

Membership Users: A six-month or nine-month (School-Year) plan, billed every 4 weeks by ACH or card autopay, with hours every child in your household can share. Pause for up to 8 weeks per year, and there is no cancellation fee — ending a term early just adjusts your used hours to the standard package rate, capped at $200.
Package Users: For a short, focused goal, choose a block of 15 to 40 hours. Packages renew automatically so your weekly slot stays yours — we email you before any charge, pausing is one click, and unused hours roll into your next block. Hours stay valid for 6 months from your most recent purchase, and every renewal refreshes your entire balance.
Convenient Payments: Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and ACH autopay are all accepted (card autopay adds a 4% processing cost, disclosed up front). Zelle is available for one-time package purchases only. Every payment is processed securely, and we email you before hours run out and before any renewal charge.
