FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I typically charge $100 an hour.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated with a B.A. in mathematics from Columbia University in NYC, magna cum laude. I started tutoring my fellow students in high school, tutored high school students throughout my time at Columbia, and worked at a community college after graduating, first in the help room and then as an Adjunct Professor. When my family moved to California, I began working at C2 Education in Palo Alto, where I stayed for about two years until I decided to start some courses that would lead up to graduate school. I am also working as a T.A. this semester in a Multivariable Calculus class, but have weekends on which I can tutor privately.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
As stated in my introduction, I have worked with a very wide range of ages and confidence levels. (I prefer to say that and not abilities, as I believe that anyone can learn math provided they have the right guidance and some self-confidence that they can succeed. It is these latter two elements that struggling students are usually lacking, not on talent.) I have worked extensively with high schoolers, both ones who are just trying to pass and those who want to get ahead, or get help with a particularly challenging course, and I have worked with college students, both formally (at community colleges) and informally (at Columbia, when I often helped fellow students with calculus).
