Frequently asked questions
Starting early is key—summer and winter breaks are ideal. I've had 8th graders tackling Calculus! We'll create a plan and keep the pace challenging yet manageable.
It's your choice. I'm equally committed to both. If you can come in person, I recommend it. If you're out of state, online works just as well—many of my students are fully remote.
Most earn 5s on AP exams in Physics, Chemistry, and Math. Others have seen big jumps in class grades. I’m proud of their effort as much as the score.
Prepaid Lessons are non refundable.
Please share your school/vacation calendar early.
≥ 7 days’ notice: cancel/reschedule at no charge.
< 7 days: I’ll try to fit a make-up that week. If nothing fits, the session is billed—same for sickness/emergencies. Clear rules help keep rates low for everyone.
Yes—2–4 students. Matching schedules and levels is the hard part. If you bring friends/classmates to form a group, everyone gets a hefty discount.
Yes. I first figure out the root cause—fundamental gaps, low interest, learning issues, stress—and adjust instruction. Progress usually shows within a few sessions.
I tutor Math (Pre-Algebra to AP Calc AB/BC), Physics (Honors & AP 1/2/C), Chemistry (Honors & AP), AP Statistics, and related STEM subjects. Feel free to ask if you're unsure.
Quick check-in → concept teaching → guided practice → rapid recap → homework plan. Focused, personal, no busywork.
Yes, I assign targeted problem sets and brief concept summaries. Homework helps solidify ideas and guides the next lesson.
Yes. I triage the highest-impact topics. Deep gaps can’t vanish overnight, but we maximize the time we have.
Peak season (March–May) fills up quickly. Booking 2–3 weeks in advance is best to secure your preferred slot.
Absolutely—great time to preview next year or fix weak foundations.
Yes—a paid trial lesson. If you don’t feel it’s a fit, I’ll refund it in full.
I accept Zelle, PayPal, or cash. Singles are prepaid before each session; packages are paid upfront. Receipts available.
Packages don’t expire immediately (let me know your timeline; I typically allow several months). Just give me a heads-up so I can manage scheduling.
