FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Price varies by transportation time and subject matter.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I provide a first session guarantee. This means that if we meet for one-on-one tutoring services, and you don't think I can help, then the session is free. The tutoring process itself varies from student to student, based on strengths, weaknesses, goals, and timeframe. But here's the gist: For the first few sessions (3-8 hours), we dive as deep as we need to into a proprietary curriculum that I helped to develop with the good folks of the Chariot Learning Network (chariotlearning.com). Following a satisfactory completion of the SAT and/or ACT curriculum, my students take a series of practice tests (on their own time). Careful review of these practice tests, with an eye toward ongoing score improvement and the co-creation of a student-specific test-taking strategy, comprise the remainder of our sessions--as many or as few as you think you need!
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a B.S. in Civil Engineering, a B.A. in English, and an MFA in Creative Writing from the Michener Center for Writers, a highly-selective writing program at the University of Texas. I am qualified to teach writing at the college level and, in addition to thousands of hours of tutoring, I have also delivered corporate training as well as a year-long creative writing course for imprisoned individuals in Texas.
