Kids’ clubs, tutoring & parties · Manhattan, NYCWe help parents make more happen for their kids.

Getting started is free. Clubs for 2nd to 5th graders are $20 to $40 a session, paid only for the sessions your child comes to, or one price for a project club: Business Lab is $120 for 4 Saturdays and App Lab is $60 for 2. Tutoring pods for PS 281 2nd and 4th graders are $40 a session ($320 for 8 sessions, starting any week). One-on-one tutoring for Pre-K through 8th grade is $95/hr online or $120/hr in person. Party planning starts at $69, with on-site day-of help at $50/hour. Things to Do is free, and a planned Weekend Away is $49. You'll always see costs clearly before any work begins.

Yes, for anything you pay us for. We email you a receipt and a confirmation of what you booked: your child's spot in a club or tutoring pod, or your party plan.

Our team reviews it and gets to work: planning, sourcing, and preparing what's needed. We'll send you a plan, or the next thing we need from you, as soon as it's ready.

It isn't one. Surehand isn't a directory of vendors for you to compare. We're the firm you hire. Our own team plans, sources, and delivers the work under our standards, start to finish, and we're responsible for how it turns out.

Surehand's own team, working in SOFE, the planning platform we built. Software handles the legwork, like tracking RSVPs, organizing options, and checking details. A Surehand planner checks everything before it reaches you, and you make the final choices. You're working with Surehand, not being handed off to a directory.

For a club, your family's workspace in SOFE, our platform, where what your child makes is saved once our team checks it. For tutoring, you can add an optional Learning Workspace to follow how each subject is going. For a party, your own private plan: the guest list and RSVPs, allergies, the day-of timeline, supplies, and your budget, all kept up to date by your planner. We email you a sign-in link for any workspace, so there's no password to remember.

SOFE is our platform, the family workspace Surehand plans in. It's made by the same family behind Surehand. Your plan lives there, so our emails will come from SOFE. There's nothing extra to buy. The private link we send you is all you need.

We're focused on New York City families today. If you're outside the city, tell us anyway. We're expanding and want to know where to go next.

Yes. We only use what you share to plan and coordinate what you asked for, and we don't sell your information. In your plan, you choose exactly which details your planner can see, and their access ends when the job is done.

It depends on what you need. A club or tutoring spot is quick to confirm, while a full birthday party plan takes a bit more time to put together well. We'll keep you posted along the way.

Plenty. Surehand handles the execution, but you'll always weigh in on the decisions that actually matter to you. We just won't hand you a stack of vendor profiles to sort through yourself.

Sessions can be rescheduled or canceled with at least 24 hours' notice at no charge. Sessions canceled with less notice, or missed without notice, are billed at the full rate, since that time was reserved for your tutor.

Our planning fee is fully refundable if you cancel before we've started work. Once your planner has started, the fee covers that work and isn't refundable. On-site coordination is only ever billed for the hours actually worked. You pay any vendors (venue, cake, entertainment) directly, so their own policies apply to that part of the cost, not ours.

Tell us anyway. Clubs, tutoring, and birthday parties are where we're starting, but every form has space to tell us exactly what you need.
