FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
Needed the money stayed for the fun (and the money).
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Shop around, try two or three tutors and see with whom you have the best chemistry. It is OK not to establish long-term commitment from the get-go. You can come back if the first one you worked with is also the best for you.
- What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
Why are the rates so high? At first, the rates for in-home tutoring might look high. However, you are looking at the bulk price per hour of net tutoring. I commit significantly more time for each session than the net hour I spend with you. In my personal experience, I found that for every hour I spent working with a student I would spend another hour traveling, preparing for the class, answering students questions following review of the material between sessions, communicating through email or by phone, scheduling, and back-office work that is usually transparent to my clients. In addition, there are, besides fuel, expenses on materials like books, graph paper, printing, website maintenance, taxes, and more. You might want to consider what your gardener, mechanic, plumber, fitness guide, or any other expert professional charges for their time (not to mention Doctors or lawyers).
