Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Developing rapport with student and family parents or guardians. Getting background information regarding developmental issues, medical information, social/emotional, social skills, grades repeated, strengths and concerns regarding academic achievements, study skills/organizational, homework support, etc.
Once the background information about the child and the family has been obtained, a development of a learning plan based on the child's education and ability level. This plan must be a team effort from parents, educators, and student.

Each meeting with student is $25 per hour. This includes the initial meeting which entails gathering of background information from the parent or guardian. The information will provide Ms. Bowersox, the tutorer, with educational and socio/emotional needs, developmental/medical concerns, social skills, and the specific areas of concern.
How did you get started teaching?
I come from a long line of educators, especially on my mother’s side. My mom was a first grade teacher and her father was a history teacher for high schoolers. I began my career as a School Social Worker when I was 25. I went back to school in 1991 and became a School Psychologist. I worked in both Florida and NC as a School Psychologist. I provided psychological assessments for mostly in pre-k to 5th graders.
What types of students have you worked with?
The students I have and am currently working with have learning difficulties in math, reading, and writing. In addition, they may have attention difficulties, proceeding information is difficult, and social/emotional concerns are getting in the way of their learning new concepts. Some students have memory issues, medical problems, and visual/hearing impairments. Some other students may been repetition of concepts to guide them with memorization and comprehension skills. Every student is unique and they may be visual, auditory, or kinestheyic learners.
