About
My business stands out because not so long ago, I was a student in high school. I struggled in plenty of classes but I overcame my struggles when I got help. I ended up graduating high school with a 4.0 GPA and I am now in college with a 3.7 GPA. Given the current pandemic, I want to provide the same effort that was given to me, to other kids. I want to make sure they are getting the attention and motivation necessary to succeed in their classes, even when theyre at home.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
My process for working with new students is to have a regular zoom call with them and the parents where we discuss the parents concerns/questions and also figure out what the student needs help with.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have my high school diploma.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
For three days a week, my starting price is 75 per week.
How did you get started teaching?
I get started teaching after figuring out a set time for the student. I have a google classroom in which each student will get the daily zoom link to join and start the tutoring sessions. I typically dont time my sessions because I like to make sure, each student is getting everything they need done and they also understand the work theyre doing. However, I do tend to have a cut off time for 3 hours.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with students ranging from ages 8-13. These students are mostly 5th grade-8th graders. I also work great with students who need a little extra motivation to get through their homework.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I am most fond of starting affirmations with one of my tutoring students. I have learned that this has helped him throughout the tutoring session. Saying a simple "I can do whatever I put my mind to" goes a long way.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I would advise them to first look at what they offer in terms of subjects and prices. But next, look at the type of person they are. Everyone needs a certain type of tutor. Not every tutors work style will work for every child and that is okay.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What do I want from this experience?
What are my goals at the end of the tutoring sessions?
