FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My rates are usually offered in the range: $18 to $26 per hour, and correlates directly with the grade level for a given subject. Discounts are available for the 1st hour of the 1st lesson.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Once hired via the Thumbtack protocol, the customer and I may have to exchange several texts before a conversation is possible. Then, we discuss what days and times are best, duration of a lesson, initial topics within the specific subject, confirmation of the rates, agree to a method of payment, and so forth.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I periodically tutored and was a teaching assistant (TA) while earning a BS in chemistry,and performed TA duties for three semesters as a doctoral candidate. More important, I have classroom taught or tutored, chemistry or math, for the past 14 years.
