FAQs
- What types of customers have you worked with?
Teaching or working on English with those who speak foreign languages. Working on attitudes toward math, such as math anxiety or frustration about not being able to solve specific problems, working to bridge the gaps in understanding so that a client can be extremely confident and successful with their own skills. Working on knowledge of math, as a whole. Tutoring for understanding (and not to change how the client views math if they already view it in a positive way). Working on the fear of being judged for speaking a foreign language with perceived mistakes, bad accents, etc. And how to let go and just have fun with it. Reviewing resumés and cover letters, editing them and giving suggestions. Editing papers for grammar, spelling, and content.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
I think the best thing is to make sure that the provider and customer mesh well. In environments like learning and academia, trust is a huge deal. You are more likely to succeed if you can really trust your relationship and trust that the provider is there to help you without judgement, and there because they really want you to succeed, and don't just want the money.
