FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge $60 per hour. If we spend enough hours to exceed $150 in a week, my price is capped at $150 for the week. (Sun through Sat).
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Math and science depends a lot on practicing problems. We work through homework or textbook problems. When the student breezes through a problem, I know what he knows. When he gets stuck on a problem, then we have identified subject matter that we need to review. I start at the beginning and explain. My most important job is to watch and listen to know what the student understands and where there are holes in the material that we need to correct.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a BS and MS in chemical engineering from Rensselaer and Carnegie-Mellon. I spent 40 years as an engineer in a chemical plant. I have a lot of experience with practical and academic math and chemistry and more importantly, I have experience in the people skills of communicating and listening.
