Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to talk with them and have them get comfortable with me. Then I like to see where their current understanding of the math material lies. I like to go through concepts with them to assess which learning styles work best for them.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelor's degree in Math with a minor in Psychology. I graduated from college in 2021. During the academic year from Fall 2021- May 2022, I was enrolled in a math Ph.D. program. During this year I served as a teacher's assistant. In this role, I led recitations for groups of about twenty students 3-4 times per week. I also held office hours, worked in a math tutoring center on campus, and graded students' work.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I do not have a standard pricing system. In general, price increases with the difficulty of the subject matter.
How did you get started teaching?
I enrolled in college as an elementary education major. During my first year, I really missed math classes so switched my major to math. Through tutoring, I can combine both passions.
What types of students have you worked with?
I've tutored mostly college students but also work with a fifth grader. I also volunteered tutoring middle schoolers while I was in high school.

I spent the summer as a nanny in Europe. I got to experience life in Italy and travel on the weekends!
