Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When working with a new student, I start by determining what the students goals are. Are they trying to improve their grade, get ahead for next year, improve their score on the SAT/ACT? I then ask questions about their past math experience. What classes have they taken, what topics were a struggle for them? I may also give the student a quick assignment to assess their prior knowledge.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and a Master's degree in Math Education. I am NYS certified and have over 10 years of classroom experience. In addition to teaching in a public school, I have tutored 1-to-1 students and small groups in Middle School Math, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2 and SAT/ACT Prep
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
For elementary and middle grade math my rate is $75 an hour. For high school math and test prep, my rate is $100 an hour.
How did you get started teaching?
I have always loved math and enjoyed working with others. In high school, I decided that I wanted to share my passion for math by teaching. I enrolled in a combined Bachelor's and Master's degree program in college and have been teaching full time since graduating.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with all types of learners. I have worked with students who are struggling, including students with IEPs, gifted students looking for enrichment and English Language Learners of various proficiency levels.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
The advise I would give is to make sure the teacher fits your personality. Some teachers look at math as a set of steps to be memorized while others like to explain the background of the process to ensure a more thorough understanding. Make sure their teaching style matches your learning style.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
