Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
We strongly suggest incoming clients begin with a free consultation with one of our instructors. The consultation allows a family to get a feel for their tutor before starting and provides a valuable chance for your tutor to gather information for building an approach. Proper preparation is essential for success. Sustainable success cannot be built on haste or desperation. After a first free consultation, clients are signed up with our invoicing/finance system, regular check-ins are scheduled, and regular sessions begin with your tutor of choice.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
We are a legal entity in Washington and the State of Oregon. Our tutors are submitted to federal and state background checks.
How did you get started teaching?
My own college experience put me in a lot of leadership positions and I had the great fortune to grow up traveling internationally, which readied me for my own independent journeys into new cities, new countries, and many different kinds of working arrangements, which has readied me for running StudentCircle. I think that the two services I provide with StudentCircle are awesome role models for students and professional development for tutors seeking their first experience working for themselves. I believe that by forming a community, everyone involved in StudentCircle can come together to achieve this.
