Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
The first step is assessing where the student is right now and determining where the student wants to be. Once we have this information we can create a plan to help the student get the results they want.

Graduated from North Central College with a degree in Secondary Education

Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
The general rate is $25 an hour but this is subject to change based on distance and subject difficulty.
How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching as part of a youth volunteer program at the Morton Arboretum where I ran educational programs for children in the Children's Garden. I then worked as an instructor with the Boy Scouts of America before going to North Central College to earn my degree and teaching certificate. Since graduating I have been an active substitute teacher while pursuing a full time teaching position.
What types of students have you worked with?
In a formal teaching setting I have mainly worked with high school students but I have done on of my first residencies with middle school students. As far as ability goes I have worked with students all across the board.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make sure that the teacher you are interested in hiring is capable of teaching at your skill level. A teacher who does advanced and AP course instruction would be a bad match for introductory instruction while someone needing advanced instruction would be an equally bad match for an introductory teacher.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
How do I define success and how can the teacher help me achieve that success.
