Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I introduce myself, tell the student a bit about myself, and I ask the student about themselves, in terms of what they like to do in their spare time, if they have siblings, pets, what their favorite subjects are in school, what they would like to learn to accomplish better work. I want to make the students feel comfortable and safe, and to know that I will work with them in a fair and understanding way.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a B.A. in Speech from the University of MN. I am also certified in TESOL and TEFL. I have over 8 years of experience in Education.I have worked online and in classrooms with students ages 2-15 years. I have also been a substitute teacher when needed.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
The usual charge is between $30.00-60.00 depending on the length of the session and the needs of the student.
How did you get started teaching?
My sister has been a teacher for a long time and she has always loved it. I had been in customer service, and loved working with people in general. After I had my daughter, I volunteered at non-profit organizations helping children in different teaching environments. That is how I discovered how much fun it is to teach!
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with students ages 2-15 years, of all different learning styles.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I was working online with a small class, and I turned the lesson into a fun learning experience, with music and crafts. At the end of the lesson, all of the students answered questions about the topic, and they each got 100 percent of the answers correct! Plus, they had so much fun while they were learning!
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
It is most important that the student feel comfortable with the teacher. They should read the reviews, make sure the teacher knows what the students needs are, and also, to see if their personalities are a good fit,
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
They should figure out what they are trying to accomplish. This way the teacher can better help the student achieve.
