Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I often get them to send me a list of topics so I can review what material they wish to go over: this review involves compiling practice questions and creating a few that I've seen on big tests in my own experience!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am currently a Senior in Industrial Chemistry at RPI. I only have lab courses left and have finished all of my theoretical classes for my degree, which makes me more than confidant in my abilities to help.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I use a sliding scale based on what the student can pay. I have work for anywhere between $25 and $40 an hour. A good expectation would be $30 an hour!
How did you get started teaching?
I have always loved helping people in classrooms as I was coming up through school and felt I had a real passion for it. When I was in high school, I ran a tutoring team for Chemistry through my school and helped hundreds of classmates be one of the best performing years at my school. It made me feel pride in the small part I played in it and I've loved it ever since
What types of students have you worked with?
The entire range: elementary to college students, students with learning disabilities, and advanced students who really tested my knowledge! I've worked with hundreds and would love to work with more!
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Find someone who's willing to work from your starting point. Listen, a lot of teachers are going to want to start from step 1 of their plan. Facts are, that isn't going to help YOU much with learning. Find someone who can start where you're at and get you where you want to be.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Think about what may be stopping you from being where you want to be and propose an idea as to what my help. Giving a teacher the indication that you've given real depth of thought is often more than an enough for some understanding on their part.
