FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer a free 30 minutes consultation to show you how online tutoring with me works and answer any initial questions you may have. I have discounted sessions if the month is paid for in advance.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Students/Parents fill out the New Student Form on my website, then I contact them to schedule the free consultation. If the customer is happy with my services, we can schedule our first session, which is to be paid in advance. I use Zoom, a free videoconferencing software similar to Skype but with advanced features like an interactive whiteboard.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Education: I earned my Bachelor's degree in Math Education (GPA: 3.95) and Master's degree in Mathematics (GPA: 4.0), both from Ohio University. While completing my degrees, I competed on the Women's Golf team and went on to be the Graduate Assistant for Women's Golf and a Teaching Assistant in the Math Department. Awards: I received student nominated teaching honors such as Ohio University Graduate Assistant Outstanding Teaching Award (2013), Student and Teacher Achievement Recognition (2017), and National Honor Society Honor Teacher (2016 and 2017). Teaching Success: As a high school teacher for five years, students consistently said they didn't like math until they took my AP Calculus class (admittedly, I'm not sure I completely believed them--who is crazy enough to sign up for an AP course if they disliked the subject?!). Not only did we have fun taking on the challenging concepts, we improved from a 20% pass rate to over 70% on the AP exam.
