FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I am flexible regarding pricing. For example, if a student has a deadline/project, I will certainly be open to negotiating hourly fees. Also, if a group has common academic study need, I am open to negotiating fees. This communication can be done via telephone, face time or in person. This process will be brief.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to have a brief interview before the scheduled lesson so that I may gather information and create a lesson plan for the best possible outcome. Topics discussed may be past experiences, ( such as positives and negatives of your studies,) your expectations and goals.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I hold a B.A from the University of Memphis with 12 additional hours of graduate work in Special Education for mild to moderate needs. I have passed 3 out of 4 Praxis exams,(did not sit for the fourth,) that are required in Tennessee to become a licensed Special Educator. I retired from the teaching profession at a relatively early age due to health issues that I was suffering from at that particular time. I have additional continuing education units from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in writing core curriculum in and through the arts. This additional work has positioned me to really "tap in" to the current STEAM educational philosophy. I am truly happy that this "trend" has finally come about.
