About
I truly care about my students. I will work with you to get you to where you want to be. Before we meet, I prepare, and I will do all I can to help you meet your goals.
I love being able to help my students, and tutoring lets me do a lot of that. The oppurtunity to help a student understand a new topic or study well for a test makes me excited.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
With a new student, I always do I trial session. We will go for as much time we think we will need and decide wether or not it is a good fit. This is of course 100% free. If it goes well, the student can then decide wether or not they want to do it in the future. This way, they aren't jumping into something they don't want.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated from Science Hill Highschool with a 3.9 GP, having taken the most rigorous course of study availible to me. Currently, I am a freshman in the Milligan University Honors Program.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I charge $20 an hour.
How did you get started teaching?
Teaching is always something that has interested me. Some friends of mine saw that I had a proclivity towards it and encouraged me to tutor during college.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with all kinds of students ranging from middle school to highschool and over differrent ability levels. Sometimes my job is to help someone passes the class, other times it's to help someone get an A. I have been successful with both.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Recently, while tutoring, I got to read with one of my students. At first, she felt discouraged about reading the novel assigned to her, but after we started to read together, she became excited and now wants to read the whole series.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Find a teacher who cares about you and helping you succeed!
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Ask yourself where it is you are struggling and where you need help. Sometimes this might mean, "ok, I have a lot of trouble doing this task." Other times it means, "My work ethic is really low, I need to figure out how to improve." Fortunately, it usually becomes apparent quickly what the main areas of improvement are, and I am usually pretty at picking up on them.
