FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Figuring how much I can charge a student I tutor. I have problems knowing how much is not too much or too little. The competition makes it difficult to know what the going rate for each student is. Each one is different. Without knowing what amounts other tutors are charging, it makes it hard to compete with them effectively.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Not at the moment, but I would love to take continuing education classes to help expand my skills. I am a senior citizen, so going back to college would involve time and money I don't have at this time.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I moved to Mexico in 1986, and it was the one type of work I could do without needing to get special working papers. It takes 2 years or longer to obtain them. Tutoring Mexican people either in a class format, or privately was something I felt confident and comfortable doing. I have always loved helping others.
