What types of students have you worked with?
High school and college. I am also happy to work with middle school students and elementary, but I am more experienced with older students.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I drove from Denton, TX to Fairbanks, Alaska this year! I learned about persevearance on that drive. I also learned first-hand how beautiful the Western N. American continent is.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Ask for a trial or discounted first session. Make sure you are actually improving before agreeing to additional sessions. It is okay to try a few different tutors. If a tutor offers you a free first session, make sure you at least buy them a beverage of their choosing, to be nice. Hopefully you can both enjoy the interaction, even if you decide to work with another tutor instead. Arrange for a neutral location if you are even slightly worried about your safety, such as a public library, or campus classroom.
