About
Work online via Zoom with an outstanding and funny explainer.
When the session is done, you'll get a copy of all the notes we took and a link to a free recording of the session that you can download and keep.
I've been helping students understand math and science for 23 years now. I can explain tough concepts clearly with plenty of funny and interesting real life stories and examples. I know all the places where students generally have trouble and can provide practice with carefully sequenced exercises. Students respond well to my enthusiasm and my gentle patience. If I may say so, I'm one of those people with the gift of being able to understand difficult technical material -- and still talk like a human being.
Watch some of the demo videos on tutors.com or on my website and you'll see why I'm worth my price! First three months are $55/hr. After that my regular rate is $77.50/hr., with a discount rate of $67.50/hr. for a weekly commitment.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I start with what they're currently working on since that's the most up for them. As I discover gaps or areas where they're rusty, I do mini-lessons to help with that.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've worked as a classroom teacher and I have a BA in History but frankly, I'm self-taught in math and science. I find it fascinating and my enthusiasm is contagious. Also with everything I study I'm always thinking, how could I explain this so it makes more sense? That's why I'm such a good explainer of things.
