FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I knew as a child that I would become a teacher. My grandparents had fifth and sixth-grade education but were entrepreneurs - owned a day-time grocery store which became a nigh-time restaurant.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Require proof on paper and in-person that progress is being made. Your student may see you as a part of the problem so give me a chance to make it work for everyone concerned (including the classroom teacher).
- What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
Know that I "love" teaching because my students' lives are changed in terms of their confidence and feelings of self-worth, and because I understand their struggles and am able to work with the factors causing the struggles rather than against those factors.
