Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
At first, I like to meet with a student to assess their strengths and weakness in the subject matter in question. I like to review their classwork and work from previous semesters to gauge their work ethic to see what type of approach I'll take to tutoring. These approaches will vary based on areas of concern I think your student needs to work on.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been tutoring since the 9th grade in elementary and middle school math. At university, I expanded that purview to all subjects when I tutored a student from Sandy Springs Friends School. I majored in Chemistry and Philosophy at George Washington University and I completed a minor in STEM teaching to round out my undergrad education. I'm pursuing a Masters Degree in Chemistry at the University of Gottingen this October,

How did you get started teaching?
I started in high school because friends of my mom thought I was an acutely smart student and they figured Id be a good tutor, and I haven't really looked back since.
What types of students have you worked with?
I've worked with 3rd graders, to 3rd years in Undergrad, I've worked with students from all backgrounds and upbringings, and although no two students are the same, as long as you can stoke a lust for learning you can get through to them.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I recently got my vaccination, that was a huge stress relief and it was nice because the world was finally on the precipice of opening up again.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make sure they're in touch with your needs, a lot of STEM tutors tend to have difficulties breaking down concepts for students who are already struggling to learn on their own.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
There are no questions that are too dumb to ask, the only thing a student should think through is whether they can answer the question correctly themselves.
