FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My standard hourly charge is $35 and hour. If multiple hours are needed each week, I offer a decreased hourly fee to be discussed when appointments are made. While I understand illness, and last minute issues, I appreciate a 24 hour cancellation.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have degrees in both Education and English. In addition to tutoring reading, math and writing, I have also worked closely with a cognitive psychologist to train to work with students with ADHD and other attention and anxiety disorders. I have extensive experience with students who are currently working with an IEP or 504 plan.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I graduated in 1995 with my education degree. Due to a hiring freeze, I sought a job at a before and after school program for Girls. I wrote and instituted a Science and Math curriculum for the after school program. After 8 months, I began teaching and taught for 9 years in elementary and middle schools. After the birth of my second child, I became a stay at home mom while still tutoring as a very part time job. Six years ago, I partnered with a cognitive psychologist to open a tutoring business. Our emphasis was on students who could benefit form both tutoring and cognitive training for ADHD and other attention and anxiety disorders. My partner moved on but I decided to continue with our mission to help kids with their academics, study skills, and achievement testing. I love the one on one aspect of my work.
