FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The current hourly rate--$45 per hour--is set to try and meets the needs of all involved. I do not wish to exclude anyone who may not be able to sustain that rate over extended periods, and am more than willing to discuss a rate reduction depending on the length of our work together. That said, the current rate is not arbitrary, either. I think it is a fair reasonable reflection of my skill as a teacher and my longevity within the field of teaching.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I'd like to say that I have a standard procedure with each new client. However, doing so would not only be misleading, but would directly undermine one of the most important aspects of the learning environment: I need to identify your learning style and develop a functional rapport with you before any technical work can begin. That said, it is always beneficial to hear from you in regards to strengths, weaknesses, areas of greatest need, previous experience, and, perhaps most importantly, long- and short-term goals.
