MA+hsense Tutoring Services
About
There are many different ways to solve any math problem. I will find the way that makes the most mathsense to you.
I have a 2003 Master's of Science Degree in Civil Engineering and have taken math classes of all levels and have for many years been successful in raising test scores multiple letter grades in students ranging from 3rd grade through college students.
Many educators do not have the time or resources work to find the methods that fit the mindset of their students. I bridge that gap for them and restore the confidence of the student to perform in the math classroom.
