Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to get to familiar with the student and their study habits. Then we can work into where they are struggling. If there is any room for improvement. This is when I will see it.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I used to spend countless hours tutoring fellow students in High School as a side job. I spent many sessions later on helping people to study for their GED, SAT, and practicing for the ASVAB.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I'm open to negotiation. Although, I usually start at $25/hr, we can work within a budget if needs be.
How did you get started teaching?
I'm the student that always ran ahead of the teacher's lessons. This is why when we'd finally get to the section, I was the one everyone huddled around.
What types of students have you worked with?
Mostly people my own age, or younger. However, my experience with children runs back almost fifteen years. Mostly helping with homework, and to study for ISTEP.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Anything to do with food. I love to cook, but I really love to eat.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
You want to find someone who has great patience with other people. I've worked with disabled, and developementally challenged individuals most of my life. So I can work with anyone at their pace.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
First start by asking questions about what is stumping you. If you find yourself stuck, that's usually the best place to start. Ask, how does this work? Ask, why does it work this way? Then, you'll begin to understand the problem, and how to solve it again later.
