Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First I'd like to get to know the student to see what his or her learning style is, what works best for them. Then, I'd like to identify areas that could use improvement in the curriculum. I'm very organized, so I like a set plan when studying to keep myself and the student on track for success. Once we have a game plan that we're both comfortable with, we can start the teaching!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelors Degree in Nutritional Sciences from the University of Florida (cum laude). I am currently pursuing my Doctorate of Pharmacy Degree from the University of Florida.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
No! It depends on the subject matter, hours required, etc. I'm happy to negociate per customer.
How did you get started teaching?
I started tutoring in early high school for elementary and middle school students that I babysat for. Since then, I have always enjoyed helping others understand foreign concepts and improve study habits.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with elementary - college students. I have worked with students who need help with specific classes, writing essays, applying to college, and college entrance exam preparation.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Come prepared to learn and receptive to new ways to learn that work best for you!
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Be sure to keep a list of concepts that you find yourself having difficulty mastering. That way, you can maximize your time with a teacher by going through the list. In addition, reviewing what you learned after the teaching session will help reinforce the concepts.
