Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I discuss with the student their goals and their struggles. At the first session, I assess their strengths and weaknesses, so that I can plan for future sessions.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration with an Emphasis in Accounting. I have taken Math courses through two semesters of College Calculus.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I typically charge about $40 an hour, but I am always willing to make adjustments or offer discounts so that students can get the help they need when their budgets are tight.
How did you get started teaching?
I helped a classmate with high school Algebra, and I taught my 5-year-old brother to read. I found that I really enjoyed teaching one-on-one. Eventually, I decided to focus on tutoring, and not classroom teaching, so I did not pursue getting teacher certification.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with preschool, grade school, high school, college, and adult learners. Some were better prepared than others, and some were more motivated to succeed.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Math is one of my specialties, and my advice would be not to think that a teaching certificate provides proof of competence at teaching. You may need to try more than one tutor before finding a good fit.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What are the student's goals and frustrations? What do they believe to be their greatest hindrances?
