FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge $100/hour for my tutoring/counseling services.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Before I even meet with a new student, I send over a few action items—such as diagnostic exams, writing samples, or a resume—to gain insight into their background and needs. By reviewing this information in advance, I can better understand the student’s strengths and areas for improvement before our first session. During the initial meeting, we discuss the student's personal and educational goals. From there, I create a personalized study and course plan tailored to these objectives. Note: this plan remains flexible and can be modified as the student progresses, ensuring it always meets their evolving needs. I also believe it's important to establish a strong personal connection early on! I strive to make each tutoring session enjoyable and engaging, creating a supportive environment where students feel comfortable, motivated, and unafraid to make mistakes. I believe my ability to connect with students helps foster the confidence necessary for long-term success.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My undergraduate studies span Duke University and Dartmouth College, where I focus on a pre-law and pre-business track. Throughout my time at both institutions, I've maintained a 4.0/4.0 GPA and received various honors, including Dean's List with Distinction, a Deans' Summer Research Fellowship (Summer 2024), acceptance into the Honors Thesis Program, membership on the Board of Trustees Finance Committee, the Rufus Choate Scholar distinction, the Phi Beta Kappa Sophomore Prize, and the James O. Freedman Presidential Research Scholarship. In high school, I completed the International Baccalaureate (IB) program at Inglemoor High School, graduating in the top 1% of my class. The IB curriculum provided a rigorous, well-rounded academic experience across both the humanities and STEM fields. Additionally, having (relatively) recently prepared for and taken standardized tests such as the SAT, ACT, and GRE, as well as advanced high school coursework, I bring current, relatable study strategies and skills that can help students succeed.
