Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
With a new student, I like to take a few minutes to have them explain their material to the best of their ability to get a baseline of where we are at. I then help them decipher their progress and fill in any holes and concepts they have left out. I have found that guiding the student to the correct answer and letting them figure out the material is best for their learning.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been a tutor for k-12 students for over 2 years, a tutor for college students in the health sciences for over a year, and I am a former elementary and middle school substitute teacher. I have the training and 2 years of experience in assisting students with dyslexia and ADD.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I charge $40 for 1-4 1-hour sessions and $30 for 5 or more reoccurring 1-hour sessions.
How did you get started teaching?
My mother has been an elementary special education teacher for over 30 years and for the last 2 years she encouraged me to become a tutor for a few of her students. My students' parents liked my methods and hired me to assist them in middle school. I was then hired by some high school students by math and science teachers giving out my information. For college, I attended Baylor University for 3 semesters and after my first semester, I started tutoring students in microbiology, chemistry, and Anatomy and Physiology.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with k-12 students for over 2 years, college students, and I have training and experience with assisting those with ADD and/or dyslexia.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
A study from Ohio State University showed significant evidence that preschoolers who were categorized as having special needs or disabilities were able to perform better while learning from a mainstream classroom setting.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
First and foremost look for a teacher with experience.
