I like to start off with one day of brief introductions, getting to know the student and their learning style before moving on to content. I learn what the student wants to learn and how they want to learn it in order to facilitate future lessons.

I have tutored informally for friends and family, helping with general education K-12. However, as of starting college, I have worked with larger organizations that provide tutoring services for students. Namely, I have worked with Bridges ESL, which teaches English to non-native speakers, and RISE (Refugee and Immigrant Student Education), which provides general tutoring for students K-12.

The typical price for lessons for students in K-8 is $30-35 an hour. For high school students, the price varies more, from $40-$50 an hour.

I first started teaching with my little sister, who needed help on assigments that she couldn't get from our parents. Seeing this, my parents urged me to offer my help to family friends, eventually leading me to join various educational organizations.

I believe that first and foremost, the student should ask themselves if they feel comfortable asking for help, and make it known to the teacher if they feel uncertain about any topics, as well as let the teacher know what they can do to ease the experience, especially during times like these.
