Harper's Tutoring
About
Focused math tutoring to the specific needs of each pupil.
I am a Gainesville native having attended Kindergarten though High School here in town, and I am a graduate of the University of Florida. I am currently an attorney for the Guardian ad Litem Program, where I have a duty to promote the best interests of the child(ren) that I am appointed to represent. I plan to do the same with my tutoring efforts.
I want the best possible results for my clients. I want them to actually have fun during their tutoring experience and be proud of their corresponding accomplishments.
I am new to the tutoring profession, but I know that I will do my best to help those that I tutor.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Uncover needs and concerns.
Make a set schedule for tutoring sessions that corresponds with the pace of the class and the needs of the student. Adapt to any changes or additional needs.
Review progress and update plan as needed.
Addtionally, I think it is important to have the sessions focus on the individual needs of the particluar student.
I want the student (my client) to reach and/or exceed their goals.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a Florida Bar licensed attorney with experience in Family Law, Dependency, and other fields. I was an excellent math student in my scholastic days and took every mathematics course offered in high school. I have always enjoyed teaching and hope to help children that struggle with mathematics.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I do not have a set pricing system but expect to start at around $50 per hour. I would only want to continue tutoring if it benefitted my client, the student.
How did you get started teaching?
I began doing training seminars with my first career (insurance). I enjoyed it and my students did too. I have always enjoyed discussion and learning.
What types of students have you worked with?
I am new to tutoring, but have helped people of all ages and walks of life with many different things throughout my career.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
My time at Florida during the football and basketball championships was an amazing experience.
More recently, I have done some traveling to Europe, which was fantastic.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Take your time, ask hard questions, and make sure you get someone capable of understanding the material and communicating with you, the student. Your progress and accomplishments are the number one priority.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
They should make sure to be appropriate and respectful, but otherwise just honestly communicate your goals and struggles. Listen to the advice and don't be afraid to ask others also.
