FAQ
- What's your process of working with a new student?
- In addition to being the student's formal tutor, I always try my best to get to know the student personally. I am genuinely interested in people's stories, interests, and beliefs, and this helps me tailor my explanations to the student's needs. My first tutoring session is always a free preliminary meeting to discuss the logistics, so you can try out the service and decide whether you want to continue risk-free.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
- I graduated from Brown University in 2015 with a B.S. in Neuroscience. I am currently a PhD Candidate in Neuroscience at Emory University, where I combine neuroscience, computer science, and mathematics to gain insights into large genomic datasets. I have been teaching and tutoring since sophomore year in high school. I was a teaching assistant at Brown and then a co-instructor for an elective course at a nearby high school in Providence. I was the first student in the history of the award to be given the Teaching and Advising Award at Brown in 2014. I have served as a teaching assistant for multiple undergraduate and graduate courses at Emory University.
- What types of students have you worked with?
- Throughout my extensive teaching and tutoring career, I have worked with students from all walks of life -- all kinds of socioeconomic, religious, racial, and cultural backgrounds. I have tutored both neurotypical and neurodivergent students, so I am sensitive to the individual needs of each student. The academic backgrounds of these students varied tremendously, too. I have helped a student study basic GED material and tutored my friends in organic chemistry.
- Do you do in-person tutoring?
- Most of my lessons are done via Zoom on a virtual interactive whiteboard, on which both the student and I can write and collaborate. This has proved to be extremely effective. However, I am willing to travel up to 15 miles from my current location. I am based in North Druid Hills in Atlanta, Georgia, near Emory University's main campus.
- Do you save your lesson notes?
- Yes, of course. All virtual lesson notes are saved as PDFs. All files are uploaded to a private Google Classroom, so the student will have unlimited on-demand access to the lesson materials wherever they are.
- How much do you charge?
- My typical rate is $40 per hour, although I operate on a sliding scale basis. I don't want the money to be the deciding factor in whether or not you hire me. If the pricing is an issue for you, please let me know, and we can work something out!
- Do you do group tutoring?
- Yes, absolutely. My rate is $30 per person per hour for group tutoring. I try to limit groups of students to a maximum of three. I have found that this arrangement works best so I can give each student enough personalized attention.
- How do I pay you?
- I have Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, and CashApp. If tutoring is done in-person, then cash is acceptable, too.
