Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I typically start off with a shorter session in which I speak with the student about their needs and goals. I will then evaluate from our conversation how to best proceed. I want to make sure that my students feel comfortable around me, so some "getting to know you" is highly beneficial.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am studying English, theatre, and French at Augsburg University. I have been working with children in educational settings for four years now, and I feel quite confident in my ability to teach subject material to any student.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I work with families individually when it comes to pricing.
How did you get started teaching?
Both of my parents are teachers, and I always wanted to be just like them! I started doing in-classroom work in college which hooked me. I immediately took to working with students encouraging growth and discovery!
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with students ages four through fourteen. Many are struggling to keep up with their peers in their reading and writing or are frustrated with school in general. Each one of them has been delightful in their own ways.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I recently worked with children at an elementary school. One of the students had difficulty writing her name. We practiced and practiced one day until she wanted to give up. I told her that no one is perfect on the first try and that practice makes perfect. She came back the next morning with a large grin on her face and a piece of paper in her hand. She unfolded it and showed me her name spelled with no mistakes! Seeing the pride in her eyes was very rewarding.
