About
Since I'm still a student as well, I understand what it's like to be in school and what kind of work you are taking on. I'm caught up on what is being taught and how it's being taught, and I understand how to talk and relate to people my age better!
I know the feeling of finally understanding a concept or achieving the grade you are aiming for, and I want to help others have that. I enjoy learning and teaching what I know, and connecting with people along the way.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First, I want to get to know them a bit before we get into schoolwork. Then, I like to see what their recent work looks like: what tests, quizzes, homework, projects etc they have recently worked on, and from there we have a conversation about what's not working or where they are struggling. I also like to talk about how they learn best so I can help them in the most productive ways.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been tutoring for 3 years and I am a straight A student in all subjects. I interact with a variety of age levels daily — I'm a senior in high school with 5 younger siblings, and I also take college level classes. I have a composite 34 on my ACT with 36 on both reading and writing.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Depending on the level of work, I usually charge 15-20 dollars an hour. I am happy to talk with my clients about pricing and what we deem appropriate — I am very flexible.
How did you get started teaching?
A few years ago, as I was consistently helping my friends and peers with work, I realized I could put this to work and expand my services to a larger community.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with elementary, middle and high school students with a variety of subjects.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Look for someone who has both credentials and seems able to connect with people. Especially during this time of online work, connection and conversation are so important, and I want to provide that for the students I help.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Students should think about a) the content of the work, but more importantly, b) how are they going about learning this content? Many people learn the same information in different ways, and pinpointing the right ways in which you learn can be vital to getting help.
