Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When I first start working with a student I like to get to know them a little at first and recognize their style of learning whether that is visual, auditory, or writing/reading. And I like to proceed with acknowledging their struggles and laying out a plan to fix those struggles so that way they feel confident and know what to look forward to.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a high school senior taking advanced courses so I have tutored students within my grade multiple times. I have tutored kids since middle school and know how to accommodate everyone's differences in learning styles. Additionally, I have volunteered in my local library where I was instructed to help kids with homework as well. I participated as a tutor in the tutoring programs at my school.
How did you get started teaching?
It all started with me helping my brothers with their homework and I felt accomplished every time they understood a concept that they were struggling with. Soon after high school as I began to work in a research clinical I decided to do tutoring on the side and tutored my friends, their younger siblings, and even family members/friends.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with a varied age range of students. Starting from pre-k to my grade level students ( high school senior ). I have worked with students who just needed a little extra help to build their confidence to students who felt completely drowned and confused in their work.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
One thing I love about math is that you can use the countless amount of different methods and find the same answer. Therefore I recommend students to look for a tutor who will go the extra mile and explore different methods with you so that you can find the methods that best fit you and the one you truly understand.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Students should think about their best way of learning, whether that's visual or auditory. This helps the tutor making lesson plans to match the student's needs and makes learning more efficient.
