FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first step is to get to know the student and the way they work. The first session is often geared towards watching the current method that the student uses to approach his/her work. Between that first session and the next session is when I plan how to teach the student.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been tutoring for a living for three years, but have been tutoring here and there for 8 years. My mom was a teacher and then later a tutor, and I picked up a lot of tricks from her. I am about to receive my BS in Biochemistry, my BS in Anthropology, my BA in Classical Studies and a certificate in Medieval and Renaissance Studies. I know 8 languages to varying levels of proficiency.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started pursuing tutoring after I took my MCAT (the admissions test for Medical School) and decided I wanted to continue with standardized tests because I actually enjoy taking those tests. The more I worked with the tests and students, I found that I wanted to help students to beat them, so they could get on with their lives and pursue their future.
