Tutoring Available Year Round! Use Summers To:
Review/Preview - Catch up and ask questions in your own time. Reinforce last year's work. Get a head start on next year's material!
Support for Summer Courses – Summer courses are often faster and more intense than regular semester courses.
Standardized Test Prep - Why wait until you have a full course schedule to start preparing?
Get a head start on the material while you have some time.

Learning that one CAN do math is almost as important as learning HOW TO do math.
About the Tutor
Philosophy
I chose to be a tutor because I believe that personalized individual math instruction gives the tutor a chance to "see" a student's thought processes about mathematics and respond accordingly. This means that I can then:
Present new ways to look at topics
Find and fill conceptual holes from prior math courses
Correct misconceptions
Discuss ways to improve study and test-taking practices
Increase confidence.
For students with learning disabilities or ADHD, one-on-one tutoring can give focus to the student and opportunity for the tutor to adaptation. I encourage my students to know how they best learn, and I use as many ways to teach as I can, including discussion, visual aids and manipulatives.
Learning that one CAN do math is almost as important as learning HOW TO do math. Although my first goal is that students are able to understand enough mathematics to meet their goals, I also work to foster an appreciation for math and the confidence to pursue problem-solving in the world around them.
Whether you are a parent, student, or just someone who wants to know a little more math, I'm available to help.
