Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First and foremost, I want to get to know the student on a personal level. If there is no trust, there is no learning. I also like to work with the student to set measurable goals, and to find a learning style that works for each individual.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have the following degrees:
BA - History - DePaul
MEd - Social Sciences - DePaul
LBS1 Certification
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I charge $150 per hour, but I am flexible for those who need financial assistance.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with a variety of students. My work in Special Education has given me experience working with students with learning disabilities, emotional disabilities, and physical disabilities. My work as Model U.N. advisor has given me experience working with students who take a number of AP and honors-level courses. Sometimes there is overlap among these two diverse groups.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
The Model U.N. team that I sponsor recently went to Washington D.C. to compete at the national level. We finished 8th place overall, but more important than that recognition was getting to spend a great weekend with my students in the nation's capital. It was a great bonding and learning experience for everyone!
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
You might have to try out a few different teachers and teaching styles before you find one that works well with you. Don't be afraid of trial-and-error. Ultimately, you need to find what works best for you!
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
-Can I solve this problem myself?
-What is the clearest way I can communicate the issue I am having?
