FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
It is not complicated. I charge a minimum of $30. I provide materials myself. If I decide that it would be beneficial for the student to have specific materials for practice, I price the materials and discuss it with the parents.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First I ask the student to discuss where they believe they are having difficulty. I would also like to see samples of their work if they are school age. Next is very important. I want the student to tell me how they learn best. I will assist with questions and answers. Once the lesson begins it is best if there are no interruptions and distractions. All questions will be based on positive authentic interactions. I will provide materials and or suggestions for plans for the week. At some point I may ask for permission to talk with a student's teacher if applicable.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Yes it is absolutely necessary. I do attend all district training. I read extensively about the brain and learning. You must always have a bag of tricks so to speak because children learn differently. You must be able to find out what works best with each child. I have been trained in several states and that knowledge stays with you as a professional.
