FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Details: My first meeting and assessment of the student is complementary. My hourly fee is $45.00 with a 10% discount when 10 sessions are prepaid together.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to meet the student and parent to assess what is the best way to help. I try to understand the person's learning style. Then we set up a plan of how often we will meet and what approach I will use. The local libraries are excellent places to meet. We can book tutoring rooms. I also come to client homes. I do not charge for our first meeting.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Master of Education degree and I am a certified early childhood (3-6 years old) and elementary (6-12 years old) Montessori educator. I have also held a conditional WA State Teaching Certificate for teaching in elementary classrooms. I have worked in Montessori for 20 years and also home schooled my own 6 children for a number of years. I have taken Spalding phonics training and used it extensively while teaching.
