FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I tend to offer a 50% discount on the first session in order to see if the student and I will mesh well in future sessions. My prices are negotiable and will depend on the distance that I must travel and the service requested.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a degree in Physics and Mathematics from Columbia University with 10 years of tutoring experience. I have tutored in a variety of subjects and at a variety of grade levels. I also have experience as a teaching assistant for college courses at Columbia and ran a program called Splash (as well as taught at the same) for high school students to take advanced courses taught by undergraduates.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started tutoring as a way of getting community service hours in middle school, and realized quickly that I had a skill in and a true passion for teaching. I then started taking on more clients and started getting offers for paid work, which helped me through college.
