AlDiG Tutoring
About
I am a college student, so I understand the pressures that students feel to do well and excel in every possible area. I also understand how people respond to that pressure, and I can work with students of all ages and in a wide array of subject areas to excel.
I tutor many students in the Baltimore area for another company, but I am currently home from school and am looking to expand my services.
I graduated from high school last June, and I was my class's Valedictorian, and I maintained a 4.0 throughout my first year of college, which recently ended. With my own academic experience and the many students I have taught, I am well-equipped.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I listen to the student as he/she/they explain points of confusion, strategies that work/do not work, and where they hope to go. I then modify my own teaching to accommodate the individual's needs and to capitalize on their strengths.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I received an above average score on the SAT and ACT, I graduated as my high school valedictorian, and I am currently working towards earning my B.A. in Chemistry.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I do not. I care more about the student experience than the pricing of my services, so I am flexible. (Rates are slightly higher if I have to travel further.)
How did you get started teaching?
I started tutoring because of my involvement with National Honor Society, and I have loved it and sought more opportunities ever since.
What types of students have you worked with?
Kindergarteners-12th graders.
I have had students from public schools, private schools, and who are homeschooled.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
A student I worked with who struggled with confidence and content retention received an A on her final exam for geometry, and she was beyond ecstatic. Seeing her hard work pay off was very rewarding.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Look for a person who cares not only about the subject matter but also about the students he/she is working with. Having someone who cares about your success as much as you do will allow you to have the best experience.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What studying strategies work for me?
Am I not understanding the content, or am I not understanding how to apply it?
What do I need to bridge the gap between where I am and where I want to be?
