Yes, I offer both in-person and virtual coaching sessions to accommodate the needs and preferences of my clients.

The frequency of coaching sessions depends on the individual and their goals. Some clients prefer to meet weekly, while others may meet bi-weekly or monthly. Sometimes, a quick check-in is all that is needed. Tutoring sessions are generally 45 min to 1 hour each session, with assigned material to review in between meetings.
