FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My rates vary by grades and subjects: For pre-AP students, K-3 ($50/hr), 4th-6th ($60/hr), 7th-8th ($70/hr). Rates for high school students are generally $90/hr and up.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I keep monitoring the latest developments in the standardized tests, the trends in secondary education, and research on adolescent psychology, to maintain my competitive edge in the tutoring industry.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started tutoring part-time while I was going to school. My students were impressed with their rising grades and test scores, and referred me to their friends and relatives. I decided eventually to tutor professionally as I gained expertise in the core subjects and major standardized tests such as the ACT, SAT, and the TAKS.
