Ashely Rajamin Tutoring
About
Everyone in my family is a teacher in one form or another. My mom teaches 6th grade English and History, my dad is a truck driving instructor, both of my grandmothers are instructors in their field of expertise. Knowing this may lead one to believe that I was forced to become a teacher however, I fell into tutoring by accident. Throughout my time in school I excelled in mathematics and humanities and I was often asked by my peers to help them with their studies. Once I became a senior in high school I began charging for my services and thus a tutor was born. I currently have 10 year’s experience tutoring students of all subjects and grade levels. Although math is still my favorite subject, I have become quite adept at tutoring test prep and have developed many strategies designed to help students excel. Students often describe me as stern but caring and I try to live up to that description with every student I help. I hold my students to a high level and although I push them to excel I’m always there to lift them up should they fall short of their goals.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I initially try to gauge where a student is in their learning process and what their goals are. From there we develop a plan and a schedule to try to meet those goals.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been a tutor for 11 years and have two bachelor's degrees. I am also a substitute teacher.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I do not have a "standard" pricing system as my price varies depending on subject, distance I need to travel from home, hours, and frequency of sessions.
How did you get started teaching?
Teaching has always been something I have enjoyed.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with students from first grade through college in all subjects (with the exception of biology). I've had students with learning disabilities and students in the gate and AP program.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
When picking a teacher make sure that your personalities are a good match.
