Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to do a quick assessment so I can get a sense of a child's strengths and weaknesses.
I also like to talk to the student to get to know them in terms of their interests, and what they think they need help with.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Master's Degree in teaching reading I also have many years of experience
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
My pricing is $30 for 1/2 hour. I have found that younger students do best with thirty minutes. Within this time frame, we are able to do a variety of different activities, all relating to what the student needs.
How did you get started teaching?
I spent my entire career teaching. From a very young age, it is what I always wanted to do. Even after so many years, I am still passionate about helping children be all that they can be.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with children of varying backgrounds. I have taught the general education population as well as children with IEPs.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I am always fond of any reading incentive events, whether they are nationwide, such as Read Across America, or local events sponsored by a school, library or charity.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I always suggest setting up a time to chat before any hire. This is the time to ask questions and also introduce yourself to see if the teacher is a good fit for what you need.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
I would suggest that a student be honest about their struggles as well as their feelings toward a subject. In my case it would be about reading. I would also ask the teacher how they will know what to do to help me.
