Friendly, Experienced Tutor & Academic Coach

I’ve been teaching and tutoring students in math for more than 20 years, so I get how tough it can be sometimes. But I also know how to overcome bad experiences in math classes and get passed the anxiety that can stop learning from happening. I believe that learning is about the whole person. You can’t be an effective learner if you are feeling blocked or anxious, and I’ve see that happen all too often with math. So first I try to show how you can be successful and feel good about your learning, even if it starts with one problem or concept. I love when I can help one of my students break through the frustration and hopelessness of “I just don’t get it.” and get to the moment of “Oh! I see it now!” That’s why I teach. My knowledge and experience comes from years of teaching Math in GED and alternative education programs. I’ve also tutored students one-one-one in math from early grades to college. I have literally helped hundreds of students who started with saying “I’m just not a math person” to achieve success in the subject by passing a test, improving a grade in a course, or just gaining the confidence to keep going. My approach is flexible, but not slack. I start where you are, not where someone says you should be. I determine the knowledge you already have and show you how you can build on it. I am very patient when I’m going over difficult material, and I will break complicated problem solving into a series of smaller more manageable steps. I have lots of techniques to memorize the most essential facts and make it more fun. My students tell me I'm able to explain things well. I'm also good at helping people examine their study habits and suggesting ways to improve them. I hope I can have the chance help you do better and feel better about studying math!
