Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I usually let them do a few problems, and then I quickly analyze to see their areas of improvement. Sometimes it is how they set up their work. Sometimes it is just a few math errors, and sometimes it is the same error repeatedly happening. Confidence is quickly restored. We usually end the session with them showing me how to successfully conquer the problem.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
14 years as a math teacher and many years as a private tutor.
How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching Algebra 1 in a private school about 15 years ago. Since I have taught Algebra 1, Pre Algebra, Algebra 2, and Geometry.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Just watching a student struggle, when all he needed was to slow down and write neatly. He was trying to go so fast to keep up with the teacher, that when he would write so fast, his negative numbers and positive all looked the same. When he slowed down, he was able to see his negative numbers and his math errors. He quickly became successful with something so small.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Find someone you feel comfortable with so that you are able to ask questions.
