Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I ask them if any they have any problem areas with the subject they wish to be tutored in.
We discuss the plan that will help the pupils to achieve their goal
some students need once a week tutoring for an hour to achieve their golas, some need twice a week and so on. Weaker you are in a subject more time you will need to master it
If its an essay that the students need help in, I ask the topic and the due date and ( if its a college essay then I need to know the citation style and if the students have any outside resource already collected or will need to collect).
After this I plan the number of hours required to research, write and edit an essay. It takes about 6-7 hours or more for a five page double spaced 12 font college essay.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Master's degree in IT Security from Wilmington University, DE
I have a B.A in Economics from University of Massachusetts, Boston, MA
An Associates degree is in Early Childhood Education
I have worked as an Adjunct at RVCC, NJ

I have worked as an English, ESL tutor for over 20 years and completed a masters level tutor training from CRLA while working at RVCC.

Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I charge $35/hour flat for tutoring, English and Algebra, and for any K-12 grade level or college pupil.
If the student requires me to write a college essay I will charge $25/hour per double spaced page of 12 size font.
(note: a typical college essay of 5 pages will take minimum 7 hours so if you need that let me know at least 3 days in advance)
How did you get started teaching?
I love making a difference and teaching is my passion
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with all kinds of students from various backgrounds and abilities, my youngest student was 2 years old and my oldest student was a 70 years old retired mail carrier, whom I taught computers from scrach.
I have worked with special education kids who require extra time to grasp material.
I am patient with those who may be struggling, and go fast when I think the student has the ability to grasp the material faster.
