Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I conduct an initial interview to get an understanding of who the student is and then I give them a preassessment exam to get data on specific concept deficiencies.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
BS Degree Chemistry - Lincoln University 95
NSTLB for teacher certification DC - 09
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Students have an option of getting a discount on the first 6 2 hour sessions at $25/hour or a per diem rate of $35/hour.
How did you get started teaching?
I was always tutoring for one person or another and one day my sister in law presented an opportunity for me to teach at a prominent charter school in DC. That’s were much of my formal teacher training came from in that they extensively required professional developments to sharpen our craft. This was necessary because my degree was in Chemistry and not in education so much of the pedagogy was introduced within this organization.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with and currently work with students ranging from elementary to post-secondary levels.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make sure that the teacher has your best interest in mind.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
First, when are they at their most comfortable place of learning material and then actually realizing what specifically they are deficient in.
