Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When working with a new student, I like to get to know that student and how they operate. Since English is a bit more fluid than other subjects it is important to know this so that their learning style is directly targeted. Then, I offer different processes and have the students try out those processes to understand/complete the work. If those processes don't work, we move on to the next one until we find one that works for each student.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have over 500 hours in training in my field.
Additionally, I have a Bachelor's in English from The University of Texas at Arlington and am earning my Master's in English from Arizona State University.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
$60 an hour with a 30 minute minimum.
How did you get started teaching?
I almost fell in to teaching. I didn't think I would teach, but my job while I was in college revolved around teaching and I fell in love with it. It feels as though it is something I was born to do.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with all students including: struggling students, GT students, Pre-AP/AP students, and college Freshmen.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
First, I would look at their experience and see if that is up to par. Then, I would schedule a quick interview to see if this tutor matches my needs. If all of this aligns, I would sign up with that tutor and keep them forever because they truly understand you as a student.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What is the specific problem I am having? Where does the issue arise (when does it happen)? What have I already tried?
