Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to start the out with simple things to gauge their experience level. Simple knife skills, sautéing, etc... A lot of times just having a simple conversation about food will help with establishing their skill level so I can establish their baseline.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a graduate of Johnson & Wales University in Providence '03. I have worked in St. Thomas USVI, Block Island RI, Napels FL, Wilmington VT, and Bruges Belgium.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
My base fee is $25-50/hr then there a fees for groceries, equipment - that the customer keeps--and depending on frequency of classes and level of experience.
How did you get started teaching?
It became a byproduct of my catering. I started getting more and more people that wanted to have dinner parties where I educated them and their guests about food, cooking, history etc.
What types of students have you worked with?
Mostly people that are self proclaimed foodies, but I am also starting to see an increase in people that are trying to become more health conscious, and looking to get more involved in meal planning and preparation.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I recently helped my aunt learn about Keto and CBD. She suffees from MS. These two combined to not only get her weight down, but introducing CBD Into her diet has totally helped her manage her MS in a much more natural way.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make sure about what You are trying to learn. Do some research yourself, watch some YouTube videos so you have a starting point. To go into it blind makes it not only more difficult for the student to understand the concept, But also harder for the teacher to get through to the students.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Ideas like substitutions, how recipes can be modified to meet different dietary restrictions etc.
