Reading Tutor and Math Tutor Atlanta

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. Ensure that the provider has a plan of action, timeframe to test progress and discuss methods of learning that will be used. Additional provider should have a baseline for your child and assess progress from that baseline.

Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?

A. If I were a customer I would wish I knew how to get my child to want to learn and succeed without getting frustrated.

One of the secrets that I would share is to build up your child's confidence while they are learning and apply what they are learning to how it is relevant to them.

Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?

A. The parent or student should have an idea of the frequency of sessions and the duration (start date to end date) that they would like.

Additionally they should the strengths and weaknesses of the student and be able to provide previous completed work (homework, quizzes, tests, etc.)

Lastly they should have an idea of what progress or success looks like to them.

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. Our tutors are passionate about helping others to learn. We ensure that each child and/or teenager grasps math and reading concepts by using methods that appeal to their way of learning and understanding.

We get them involved. We asks questions as to why they selected their answer and how they came to their conclusions. Additionally we notify the parents via weekly emails on the progress (strengths and weaknesses). We discuss this with each student prior to parent notifications.

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. It is really rewarding to see a student's face when they tell me they have passed their test. I know that we have succeeded when I receive emails and/or calls from students and parents letting me know how grateful they are.

Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A. Do I provide an assessment of their child's abilities? I do provide an initial assessment of their child's abilities, strengths and weaknesses during our initial consultation. This consultation takes place during our first face-to-face session.

Q. Do you have a favorite story from your work?

A. One of my favorite stories is from a 3rd grade boy. His mother engaged our services after he was given a second opportunity to pass the CRCT. After receiving reading tutoring he passed the CRCT. He said to me " Ms. Denise I did just like you taught me and I passed, I passed. I'm a 4th grader now." He was so excited and so was his twin brother.

Q. What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?

A. I wish they knew that their input in helping their child succeed is extremely important. Their input should include encouragement, knowing what their child's strengths and weaknesses are and communicating with the tutor. They should also understand that their child's tutoring sessions are very important and the sesions should be treated as such.
