Lower-Level Math
About
I have always been good with math, and as a result I love it. As some people say, I am one of the few "insane" enough to actually have fun solving problems. One thing about myself is that I am actually a high schooler, so while it may be possible that I cannot teach more complex things like calculus (for the time being) I can still confidently explain HOW to do basics and most of algebra and WHY. Also being younger all the content is still very fresh to me.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I would actually just like to get to know them, probably familiarize myself with their state standards and figure out exactly it is that confuses them.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am actively a student with goals to take literally every math class my school has to offer, so even if there comes something that I can't adequately explain, I have access to experts on the subject. Also as an active student, all math content is still very fresh for me.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
The price to message a student on this site is about $3.50, but that doesn't consider the fact that they may not hire you, and that you have to wait about 2-3 days to get a request, so just went for about twice. I also don't charge nearly as much as I've seen others charge because I don't feel like I should really be compared to college graduates.
How did you get started teaching?
Not exactly teaching or tutoring, but I have always enjoyed trying to help my peers with their work when they send me a message. My father is also a middle school teacher and has encouraged me to try tutoring my peers.
What types of students have you worked with?
So far just people who ask for help in class, hoping to expand that though!
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I'll be honest, I have no clue what this question means, a moment I am fond of relating to math? Or ANY moment I like? I mean last year I accidentally drank one million scoville unit hot sauce thinking it was candy... I also chugged about 2 liters of orange juice in spanish class... those both hurt...
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
To find someone who truely understands content, someone patient, and cheap.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Are you going to actually put effort into your work with your tutor? Or are you going throw in the towel before trying?
