Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Every case is different but for the most part I like to see what you already know and where you need to be. Then with that information, we can begin to work through your current workload and build the foundations that you need to become a self learner.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Professional Educator's License through that state of Illinois for 6-12 Mathematics. I have taught general math for 7th and 8th graders, Algebra I and II, Geometry, and Business Math. Although I have not taught Calculas, I can provide insight and understanding.
How did you get started teaching?
I got started teaching with tutoring my peers while I was in High School. I then decided to attend Illinois State University to complete my BA in Mathematics Education where I received a STEM scholorship for Urban Education.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Look for teachers that have experience teaching and know how teach at your level. They also should be able to relate to you and have the lessons be able to connect to your life experiences.
