Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I work hand in hand to build a specialized plan of action. Students create a detailed description of their current situation and their desired results.
Our first lesson is centered around finding out what the student already knows, and where the holes are in their knowledge so I can determine what to focus on. We also speak about the student’s goals, and then figure out the best way to proceed.

What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Before Teaching & Learning
1. What’s being learned?
What’s the topic? Now, what exactly is being learned within that topic?
What does it seem like the teacher wants us to focus on? What are they emphasizing?
Is this is a concept, competency, or skill? Something else? Is it specific, like a skill, or vague like a concept or idea?
Is this review of something we’ve already learned, extending previous learning, or new learning?
2. What seems most important about what’s being learned?
At first glance, what’s the ‘big idea’ of what’s being learned?
What is the teacher explicitly stating is important? What are they implying is important?
3. What do I already know and not know about this?
How does what’s being learned fit into what I already know?
What other ‘things’ (content areas, real-world thinking and jobs, etc.) is this connected to?
Where have I seen this or something like it before (inside and/or outside of the classroom)?
What do others seems to know about this or ‘things’ like it?
4. Why is this important?
Why is learning this important?
What is the value of this to me as a person?
How do others use this ‘in the real world’ and how might that change how I approach the lesson or activity?
5. What is my role in learning this?
What do I need to be prepared (knowledge, vocab, materials, schedule, etc.)? What resources will be available to me?
What mindset will benefit me the most?
How can I use my strengths to learn this?
What do I need to do in order to learn this? What happens if I don’t?
