FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. No offense, but isn't ChatGPT better than you?
AI is a phenomenal tool, and it's improving all the time. While it can make useful writing suggestions and help you brainstorm, it can’t, however, replace the personalized guidance of an experienced, sensitive, flesh-and-blood tutor—a person who can understand your feelings, identify your strengths and weaknesses, and encourage you to think critically. I'll push you to become your best writing self in ways AI can't.

 

2. Are virtual lessons just face-to-face discussions?
No. For sessions in which I introduce persuasive-writing techniques or offer college-application guidance, I created PowerPoint slides to better engage students and visually reinforce the material I cover.

​​

3. Why do you offer the option of 'faceless' phone sessions, instead of insisting on Zoom, Skype, or FaceTime?
Some teenagers are more relaxed this way. leading to more productive sessions. For meetings that don't require PowerPoint presentations, old-fashioned phone conversations lend themselves beautifully to discussing shared documents that we view simultaneously on our own screens.​

4. What payment methods do you accept?

PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, personal check, or cash.
