Where Can Tutoring Take Place?
Where Can Tutoring Take Place?
Most tutoring takes place either at the student's home, a cafe along my route, or online.
I've worked with students away at college or boarding school, or while they were on vacation, using a combination of Zoom and an iPad app. Using the app, we can both write on a shared whiteboard screen in real time. We can also mark up photos of your previous work and work from worksheet PDFs. Paired with a video call on Zoom, it allows for personalized one-on-one instruction no matter where in the world you live or go to school. In fact, this system worked so well for many students during the pandemic that they preferred to keep meeting online thereafter. Students said I recreated the experience of sitting there with them so well, between the app, my docu-cam set-up to show an overhead view of manipulatives on my desk or my calculator, and Zoom video.
How Long Is Each Session?
How Long Is Each Session?
Most sessions are one hour long. If a student will benefit from an extended period of time to thoroughly explore a subject and attain mastery, more time can be scheduled in 15 minute increments.
How Much Does Each Session Cost?
How Much Does Each Session Cost?
My rate is competitive with other area tutors and is dependent upon session location (meeting at a cafe or remotely is less costly than meeting at your home or at the student's school, and meeting during a free period during the school day offers a discount versus meeting in the most in-demand after school hours)

How Many Sessions Will I Need?
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
If you need help with standardized test preparation, we will determine this after you take a preliminary assessment. Working together, we will create a plan to help you reach your goals. Typically, thorough test prep requires between six and twelve one-hour sessions.
For academic tutoring, the number of sessions depends on your needs and goals. If you have only fallen behind a bit, a few sessions may be enough to get you back on track. If holes in your prior math knowledge are impairing your ability to learn new material, more sessions will be needed to help you regain confidence.
I've worked with some students for just a few months until they've regained their footing in a class, while many other families enjoy having my continued support of their students over the course of five or more years. I value the trust that these families bestow upon me, and enjoy watching their children grow into mature mathematicians. It is a unique opportunity as a teacher to get to teach the same child for such a long time, and this aspect of building relationships with my students is one that I particularly enjoy about this line of work.
How Many Times A Week Will We Meet?
How Many Times A Week Will We Meet?
This depends on your needs and goals. For test prep, another factor is how long the window is before your test date. Typically I meet with students once a week, though more frequent meetings are possible.
How Do I Get Started?
How Do I Get Started?
Contact me to schedule a no-cost phone consultation. We will discuss my contract, cancellation and payment policies, and work out a schedule for the first month of tutoring. If interested in test prep, I will also provide you with a preliminary assessment to be taken before our first session. If it sounds like we will be a good fit and we've found a mutually agreeable time to meet, then I will email you the details for scheduling with my online booking site, Acuity.
