Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I asked them what they currently need help with and I take it from there. If I see you they need some background help, I help there first and then built up to the type of problem they are looking to solve.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am currently a high school math teacher. I've been teaching for 30 years in the same school. I've also been tutoring for 32 years and have always had great success!
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I charge $40 an hour for in person lessons.
How did you get started teaching?
I've always wanted to be a teacher. There was no other job that I ever even considered. So after high school I went to college for secondary education and the rest is history!
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with students from 6th grade through 12th grade and also adult learners who you were looking to get into the electrical union or the military. Some have struggled a lot with math and others just need a little help.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
A recent event I am fond of would be my niece's high school graduation at a minor league baseball stadium near us. Of course, everyone was socially distanced, But it was definitely an event to remember.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
If you are having trouble with math, it is helpful to get a tutor earlier in the school year rather than waiting because lots of topics build on previous ones. Don't wait until it's too late to get a tutor.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
And what areas do you struggle? Regarding what specifically is there that you need clarification?
