About
Tutoring is a flexible, interesting, and rewarding job, where I make a positive impact whether its working with children or adults. It's so exciting to see how my small contribution makes a huge difference to my students.
I try to make my sessions engaging and fun, so the student will be more interesting in learning. The one on one, or group educational support that will be provided can be empowering to my students and help them to unleash their full potential.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When working with a new student, the most important thing to do is build a rapport. The student have already been struggling with English, so it’s important to instill confidence in them before any tutoring begins.
Students will create a detailed description of their current situation and the results expected. We would work together to build their specialized course of action.
Next we come up with our set goals and how to implement the course of plan appropriately in order to accomplish the set results. This plan depends on the immediate needs of the student.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am currently a university student that is in the process of finishing my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology with a minor in Teacher Education. Often times I would tutor my fellow classmates, and younger kids that needed help with English. Tutoring is something that I enjoy doing, so I sometimes volunteer to tutor young teenagers in my neighborhood for free.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
$10-$20 per hour to start.
How did you get started teaching?
As a child growing up I was always facinated with teaching and helping other to learn. So, now that I'm studying to be an educator, I use my free time to tutor students and hope that I make a huge impact in their lives.
What types of students have you worked with?
I've worked with quite a few students, from middle schoolers to university students. Some were focused and ready to learn, while others needed a little push start, but essentially I just wanted them to enjoy the learning process and to be a active participant.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
My advice for students looking to hire a teacher is to look for one that brings you energy and enthusiasm. An educator that has patience, communication skills, enthusiasm for the job, the ability to be flexible, and the ability to take feedback and adjust. If your educator has these qualities, you will have a better chance of learning.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Questions I think students should think through before talking to teachers about their needs are:
1. What is being learned?
2. What's the topic? Now, what exactly is being learned within that topic?
3. What seems most important about whats been learned? At first glance, what's the "big idea" of what's being learned?
4. What do I already know and not know about this? How does what's being learned fit into what I already know?
5. Why is this important? Why is learning this important? What is the value of this to me as a person?
6. What is my role in learning this? What do I need to be prepared (knowledge, vocab, materials, schedule, etc.) What mindset will benefit me the most?
7. How can I use my strengths to learn this? What do I need to do to learn this? What happens if I dont?
