Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I sit down and talk with both the parent and the student to figure out what is the problem. I then notify the parent of what I believe the issue to be, and tell them my plan to solve the problem.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Mass Communications and earned a minor in Education. I was a public and private school teacher in the Miami Dade area, and have been a tutor for over 20 years.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I charge $25 per hour. If the student needs more than one hour, I reduce the hourly charge.
How did you get started teaching?
I first started teaching as a substitute in Miami Dade Public School system, and became a teacher after I earned my teaching certification.
What types of students have you worked with?
I worked with students ages 5-18, and have also worked with drop outs in their 20s.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
There was a student who had failed the SAT 2 or 3 times, and the Tutoring Center where I worked placed her with me. She was so concerned with failing, but was able to finally pass the test and go to college. She was so happy, and I will remember that for long time.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I would advise them to see if the tutor is a good fit for what they need.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
