FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My hourly rate for one on one tutoring is $37/hour. This is what my district pays me for my time over and above my normal teaching duties. I believe you will find this to be extremely competitive and reasonable for a current New York State certified math teacher with 18 years of experience.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When beginning to work with a new student, I need to hear from them about what they feel they are having difficulty understanding. What misconceptions do they have? Since each student is different, I may administer the WRAT-4, (wide ranging achievement test) to learn what grade level the student is currently working at mathematically. The results of the WRAT-4 provide me with a reliable indication as to some specific concepts and ideas with which the student may need assistance.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
For the past 18 years I have been a mathematics teacher for the Rochester City School District. I am a certified 7-12 math teacher. I have seen first hand how students who lack number sense, struggle to learn higher level math like algebra, geometry, etc. Math is NOT about being fast and memorizing facts. Math IS about being flexible, creative and intuitive. There is no such thing as a math brain. EVERYONE can learn math to the highest levels.
