Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I investigate the student needs, which is often a review from previous semesters. Then we get to work: I explain concepts and methods and have the student work problems on these items.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Ph.D. in operations research, a mathematical science. I have taught mathematics, statistics and the like at universities for many decades. For over fifteen years, I have been tutoring these subjects at all levels.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
$40 per hour; $100 for three hours if they occcur within a week's time (e.g., Tuesday to Monday). I may raise my rate for more distant customers.
What types of students have you worked with?
All levels - from seven-year-olds to get a good start to returning college students and graduate students.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
One of my students, then seven years old, is now a sophomore at Princeton!
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make sure the tutor know the materials and has experience teaching and/or tutoring. The tutor should not just do the student's homework; s/he should help the client to be able to do so.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Students should try to identify where their difficulty lies and try to articulate this to the teacher.
