By the Pen Tutoring
Welcome!
If you're on this site, then you or your student is probably struggling in their studies. On the other hand, maybe you or they are just needing a little extra attention to the details of their course. Whatever the case, I make a personal promise to my students to help them understand their studies better and cater my tutoring methods and efforts to their needs. What I offer to students is a personal touch and interest in their studies and success, and this is not something that's available with a big business, brand name tutoring company.
How I Work
First, I ask that you email or text me if you are interested in private tutoring. I will ask a few questions about what you need and let you know my current availability to get a session booked. I will also ask for a good email for you/your student so I can send them the zoom link for our sessions. Our first session, I will introduce myself, get through some logistics and then begin the session. I use zoom for the meetings and I use OneNote as my virtual whiteboard while sharing my screen. After the session we can talk about scheduling details and payment options (I use PayPal and Venmo for now). I will also email the link to the OneNote I have created for the student so that they can access any and all notes I've taken and any problems we've worked through. As a personal tutor, I focus on the curriculum of the individual student. For younger students (elementary/middle school) I ask that parents let me know ahead of time what subjects their student is working on so I can find appropriate learning tools for them. For the older students, I will ask them directly to send me their homework/course outline/school work ahead of time as well. I have an open door policy when it comes to questions outside of tutoring sessions, just send me a text or email and I'll try to answer as soon as possible!!

Hopefully this gives the full picture, but if you have any other questions about how I tutor, please reach out!
