Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I love asking questions to see what my student already knows, as well as what they might be needing help with. I like seeing problems worked out step-by-step. Usually, I find a method of working out a solution that makes sense to my student; I won't stop until we've found our best method!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Over a year of tutoring experience. A year of being a teaching assistant. Bachelor's in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Master's in Electrical Engineering.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Minimum of $25/hr. Willing to work with students who need extra help.
How did you get started teaching?
I started tutoring and mentoring in high school. From there, I had a passion for helping others, and educating myself as well. My greatest teachers have influenced me and touched my life. I'll always be looking to educate others as they have educated me.
What types of students have you worked with?
Everywhere from high school to college, I've been a mentor. I've also spent time in elementary schools helping students with simple mathematics and reading.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Never settle for a teacher who doesn't meet your needs! Find someone who not only helps you with a subject matter, but also helps you learn about yourself as a student.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
-What kind of methods do I find most suitable? Visual, auditory, or through action?
-What kind of personality do I jive with most?
-Do I already have an idea of questions I want to ask? Knowing what you don't know is so valuable. It can save you time, money, and frustration!
-Am I ready to be patient and work through tough problems?
