School readiness classes for future first-graders
School readiness means reading, counting and pre-writing skills for a child starting first grade in a year or a few months. Describe in an order what your child can already do, and tutors will send responses. Or choose a tutor yourself — by prices, lesson descriptions and parents' reviews.

How much school readiness classes cost
What affects the price
Format and place
A place in a small group usually costs less than a one-to-one lesson. When the tutor comes to your home, it often costs more than online or at their office.
What the program covers
Reading only, or a full set — reading, counting, writing, logic, English: the program affects the price of a lesson.
Copybooks and workbooks
Workbooks, copybooks and flashcards may be included in the price or bought separately, from the tutor's list.
Diagnostic lesson
Some tutors start with a diagnostic lesson to see what the child already knows and can do, and charge for it separately from the course.
A course or single lessons
Preparation over a school year, a summer course before first grade and a few lessons on one topic are charged differently.
Prices come from specialists' profiles on Nexperity and update automatically. You agree the final price with the specialist directly.

How to choose a tutor for a future first-grader
- 1
Experience with preschoolers
A five-year-old learns differently from a schoolchild: ask how many children the tutor has prepared for first grade. Nexperity does not check diplomas — ask to see one.
- 2
How a lesson is structured
At five or six, children learn through play, movement and short tasks. Ask how the tutor alternates activities and what they do when the child gets tired.
- 3
Sounds and syllables, as in the primer
Ukrainian schools teach reading through sounds, sound diagrams and syllables. Check that the tutor works the same way, so your child does not have to relearn in September.
- 4
Hand prep or writing letters
Ask how the tutor prepares the hand: shading, tracing, the right pencil grip. If they already teach writing letters, ask which copybooks they follow.
- 5
A trial lesson and a plan
A trial lesson shows what your child can already do. It is good when the tutor then suggests a plan until September and explains how you will hear about your child's progress.
What to put in the order
Your child's age and when they start first grade
What your child can already do: knows letters, reads syllables, counts
What needs work: reading, counting or preparing the hand for writing
Format: one-to-one or a small group, online or with home visits
How many times a week, and when your child is free
Your district, if lessons are in person, and payment per lesson
Questions about Nexperity
How Nexperity works — separately for clients and for specialists
For clients
Nothing. Searching for specialists, sending requests, posting orders and receiving responses are free.
No. You agree the price and the payment method with the specialist and pay them directly. Nexperity does not take payments and is not a party to your deal.
A request goes to one specialist — from their profile. An order is posted for everyone: specialists send you responses, and you choose which one to accept.
How the specialist will do the task, a price — fixed, a range, hourly or “on request” — and, optionally, an estimated timeline.
30 days from publication: all that time it is visible in the feed and specialists can send responses. The exact end date and time are shown on the order in your account. From that moment the order is closed and a response can no longer be accepted. You can cancel it earlier, and if no specialist turned up, post a new one.
Yes: you can hide your name and photo in an order. The anonymity lasts until acceptance — the specialist whose response you accept sees your name and photo. The task description is public: anyone visiting the site can read it.
Only after acceptance — when you accept their response or they accept your request. And only the contacts you chose to show.
After acceptance you see the contacts the specialist chose to show, and they see the ones you chose. You can also message on Nexperity when the chat is on: on an order you decide that, on a direct request the specialist does.
Once the work is done, mark the order or the collaboration completed in your account — then you can say whether you recommend the specialist. A review can only be left for a collaboration that happened through Nexperity: one per specialist, which you can change or delete at any time.
For specialists
Nothing for now: this is the free period, and no subscription is needed yet. Nexperity takes no commission on deals — you settle with the client directly.
Sign up, fill in your specialist profile and add your services — each with a category, a description and a price. Once the profile is complete, it appears in search and on the category pages.
Two ways: clients send you requests from your profile, which you can accept or decline; and you see public orders in your categories in your account and can respond to them.
You describe how you will do the task and give a price and, optionally, a timeline. The client compares responses and accepts one.
Contacts set to “Public” are visible to everyone on your profile. A client sees contacts set to “After connection” once you accept their request or they accept your response. “Hidden” ones are not revealed in new connections: a contact already revealed to a client stays visible to them.
Each service has a fixed price, a range, an hourly rate or “on request”. Prices show on your profile and in search results, and you agree the final price with the client.
Through search and the category pages of your services. The order depends on your clients' reviews — how many of them recommend you — and in search also on how well your services match the query.
A photo, a description, your region and way of working — online or in person — your contacts and a portfolio: photos of your work, each with a short caption if you like.
A client leaves a review after completed work, and only for a collaboration through Nexperity: they say whether they recommend you and may add a few words. Each client counts once, however many times you work together.
