Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
My first meeting typically lasts an hour. I do an introduction and learn about the student in the first 10 minutes. If I don't beleive it's an area that I can improve, I refund the money. If the introduction goes well, I do a lesson that day and then try and follow up once a week to maintain commonalities for the student and avoid getting behind or forgetting what was taught in the previous lesson.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have tutored for over a year now. I graduated from UVA in 2016 with a Bachelor's degree. In May I completed my Master's of Education with a focus on teaching humanites and social science classes.
How did you get started teaching?
I have always loved helping kids find their life's goals. In high school and college I tutored local elementary and middle school kids. I have spent the past 4 years working in Finance, but did not find much joy in the job. I have decided to go back to school to teach full time starting in 2022. Since 2020 I have been tutuoring over 20 hours a week and have a 4.9/5 star rating on TutorMe. I am currently a High School teacher living in Charlottesville, VA.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with mostly Middle, High School, and College aged students.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I recently had the pleasure of assisting my brother with his college essays. He accepted admission in JMU and I couldn't be prouder.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I would say to hire a tutor that understands your personal needs. There are plenty of highly intelligent tutors, but some struggle to build personal relationships. Make sure you have a connection with your tutor.
