Frank Ladrigan, Owner
The Lamplighter Educational Resource Center is a private center which makes available supplementary human and material resources to facilitate learning. The services include academic tutoring, correction, remediation, and enrichment. The materials include books, learning aids, games, puzzles, and educational toys, all available in the Lamplighter store. An educator is available to answer any questions or to confer with parents or teachers. The fee for individual one-on-one instruction for grades 1 through 6 is $30.00 per hour, and for grades 7 though 12 and beyond it is $33.00 per hour. The rates for PSAT/SAT/ACT test preparation are $33.00 per instructional hour.
During the school year, the Lamplighter is open on a regular basis Monday through Thursday from 1:00 P.M. until 7:00 P.M. (8:00 P.M.by arrangement). Both the instructional center and the store are open. Fridays, the Lamplighter is open from 1:00 P.M. to 5:00 P.M. and Saturdays, from 10:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M., or by appointment. We are closed on Sundays. During the summer, the Lamplighter opens at 11:00 A.M. Monday through Thursday and on Saturday, or by appointment. On Friday it opens at 1:00 P.M. Call for summer hours to be sure.

The Lamplighter is interested in students serious about their desire to learn. Frequent late cancellations and/or "no-shows" break the continuity of our work, hinder learning, and cost us greatly. We are able to operate on a pay-as-you-go basis because we have the cooperation of our parents and students. Even if you pay the ten dollar fee for a late cancellation or "no-show," we still lose a sizable amount of money, and students on our waiting list have been denied the opportunity to come -- because of the absence of sufficient time to notify.

We ask that parents of high school students who drive themselves to the Lamplighter monitor the individual student's attendance and pay by check, not cash. These precautions will help us greatly and enable us to remain inexpensive and flexible in meeting your needs.
