Tell us about your child.

A founder reads every application, in full, themselves. Write as much or as little as feels right. There are no wrong answers — only honest ones.

Submitting opens your email client — that's intentional. If it doesn't work on your device, write directly to hello@vellumclass.com and we'll send the questions by reply.

What's been tried, if anything (optional)

School supports, tutors, after-school programs. No need to be exhaustive.

What you'd hope a teacher could do for your child

Practical

Weekday afternoons / evenings that tend to work

Anything else we should know (optional)

A founder reads every application personally. We typically reply within five business days. If we think it could be a fit, we'll invite you to a short call.

Or write to hello@vellumclass.com directly.

A real reply.

No automated email. No portal. A founder reads what you wrote — every line, every margin — and writes back in their own words. If the fit feels right on both sides, we set up a short call and begin the careful work of finding the teacher who will sit with your child each week.
