- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I offer free consultations so that I may introduce myself, meet the student and parent(s), assess the needs of the student, create a plan of action, and schedule sessions. I tutor at the the student's house, preferably at a kitchen or dining room table for convenience and supervision. However, I am flexible and willing to discuss alternatives.
