They are big businesses. The actual instructors get a small piece of the course fees. Sisu Tutoring is just one person. My overhead expenses are tiny. I advertise through referrals, mailings, and this web page.
Classes are usually four to eight students.
Your failure becomes my failure. I have been teaching, advising, and tutoring since 1979 in a lot of different places. I thrive on the process of learning, on new challenges, and on taking risks. My current position is with the UNH Center for Academic Resources . I run help sessions for college math courses, offer workshops on Using the Internet, build web pages, facilitate classes on preparing for the GRE and graduate school, and generally work with undergraduates on becoming successful students.
