FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge a sliding scale of $60-$100 per hour depending on the amount of hours booked: 10 hours at $60, 6 hours at $70, 4 hours at $80, or $100 for one hour. If we are a good fit, however, I am open to negotiating prices.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Typically, I offer a 15 minute consultation where we discuss your goals and needs. We discuss your needs and goals, and I discuss the types of services I can provide to help you meet your goals. Sessions typically last 1 hour a day. Sometimes clients opt to work for 2 hours at a time. I usually do not work for more than 2 hours with a single client. However, I do make exceptions. At the end of every meeting I do a 5 minute check in to receive feedback on what's working for the client and what is not. I then do my best to adjust to client needs. After the session I send an email with a brief summary of the session and notes for future meetings. I am also often available for quick text and googledoc check-ins between sessions as long as the check-in does not exceed 15 minutes.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have 10+ years of teaching writing, theater history, English literature, and media studies at the university level as well as 10+ years of working as a tutor. I received my Ph.D. in Theatre and Drama from University of California, Irvine with a focus on Shakespeare, Early Modern English Culture and Literature, as well as contemporary American and European Theatre. I received my B.A with college honors from the University of Washington in English Language and Literature as well as Philosophy. Currently I teach at UCSD and NYU: LA. I have also taught at UCI, CSUN, and various small schools across Southern California. I have published scholarly articles in several journals and books and have worked as an editor.
