Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
We encourage students to bring their questions to us. As material is better understood through this process, reinforcing the material becomes key in improving test scores and overall grades.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am currently pursuing a degree in Aerospace Engineering and have completed a multitude of higher-order mathematics courses.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Pricing will vary by person, meeting times, and class difficulty. However, an average hourly rate of $20 can be expected.
How did you get started teaching?
A high school teacher once told me that the best way to learn the material was to teach it to someone else. So, in order to study, I began teaching my family members the material and began to enjoy this method of review. After that, I tutored other individuals at my high school in classes that I had already taken and completed well.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with primarily high school and college students but am willing to expand to other education levels within my understanding.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I would advise the student to find someone that meets their teaching style. Often times, my favorite teachers have optimized the way in which I learn best. This can especially be seen in a tutor given the one on one nature of their lessons.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Students should consider what things are causing problems in the class, what can be done to solve these problems before confronting the teacher, and how the teacher may help to contribute to the solving of these problems as well.
