Frequently asked questions
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
For the past 3 years, I've tutored and taught kindergarten, 5th grade, 6th grade, and 8th grade students at low-income and inner city St. Louis schools. I tutored students in math and reading retention and worked in groups of 2-3 to teach custom lessons on design process thinking and environmental issues.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I have 3 pricing segments based on the student's age: elementary, middle school, or high school and standardized test prep.
How did you get started teaching?
I started tutoring with Washington University through working with a professor who is passionate about improving education in St. Louis public schools.
What types of students have you worked with?
Elemtary and middle school students in low-income and charter schools around St. Louis.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
One of my kindergarten students excelled at a money and budgeting related math class and proceeded to help the other 7 students in the group count and sort coins. It amazed me to see how willing she was to offer help rather than choosing to be competitive with the other kids.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Choose a teacher with 1) test results that speak to his/her expertise and 2) teaching styles that resonate with your learning styles
