FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer a free phone consultation for students and families to ensure we are a good fit, diagnostic tests to establish baselines and goals, and lesson-by-lesson feedback so parents can support their children’s dreams. References from former students are available upon request.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First we meet to discuss goals, timeframes, and personal fit. Then, we schedule a diagnostic test (if the student has taken another recently, we can substitute that). I analyze the results from the diagnostic test and use that data to prioritize the greatest areas of need and the greatest opportunities for improvement.
