Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I begin by getting to know the student and asking them kindly to tell me in a list what their weakest points in school are and their strongest points in school. I then help with homework, such as what they may have been assigned on that day and show them new strategies and skills to better understand what they are learning. I choose to work on the hardest subjects first then easiest as school criteria usually uses the harder subjects on tests and quizzes. I will also have nice chats with the student about their day at school or any new help they may need.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a graduate student at Georgia State University working towards my Ph.D. in Psychology and a minor in Sociology. I have tutored for firms for over 3 years now, I also work with students one on one at the school.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I have a standard pricing of $50 an hour for any subject and any sorts of help like- homework, test prep, quizzing, or essay writing help.
How did you get started teaching?
I began teaching when I realized how much education is important and how much this generation has an impact on jobs, skills, and life itself. I always had a heart for children growing up and succeeding and successfully contributing to their lifestyle and future career so I love working with them, so I began teaching to help influence them and keep them on a great path!
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with students from as young as 3 years old to the college level. I work with mentally challenged students and those with reading disabilities or a slower learning pace.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I am fond of a student I tutored for over several weeks who had struggled with her school life as she had a terrible car accident that took a toll on her memory and ability to function in school. My teaching and working with her everyday paid off, she got higher grades, better test scores, and was approved to move on to the next grade this summer!
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I would look for a teacher that is warm and welcoming and has a lot of patience, patience is key as everyone's learning styles are different!
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Students should think through all the subjects they are having a hard time in, and build a mental list of it so they can share it with their teacher to get the best help possible!
