About
I'm still a student so I remember and understand a lot about school and the education system. I help out teachers for ssl hours so I have the insight of a teacher and student. I have lots of free time and I love helping others increase their educational skill level.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I'd first get to know the student and their learning style and then we get to the work that is due soonest. I try my best to answer all questions and give the student the best notes possible.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I'm still a student in school, which always helps me connect with other students. Plus, I do ssl hours with two teachers, where I often end up helping their students complete their homework.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I prefer at least minimum wage, but it really just depends on how long I tutor the student for, the subject, and I'm always happy to negotiate with the parent if needed.
How did you get started teaching?
As I've said, I don't exactly teach, but I started helping other students when I started to visit one of my former teachers on zoom after school and the teacher had to leave her room for a couple minutes so I ended up helping the student instead. Plus, I've always loved school and I love community service.
What types of students have you worked with?
I've worked with kindergartners when I was a patrol in 5th grade and no now help 7 and 8th graders.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I'm in a youth group organization for Jewish teens called BBYO. It has really helped increase my leadership and communication skills.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Don't only pick someone because of their experience, but also because you connect with them. I personally would be happy to do a free meeting with a student before starting to tutor them to make sure they want my help and I want to help them.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Make sure to know what your question is specifically and not only "I don't understand everything." Also, don't waste a teachers time with questions just for them to not teach you the entire class period.
