ACE It Math Tutoring
About
Hi, my name is Drew and I am a former high school teacher looking to help your student out in any/all types of math! As a former high school math teacher, I have a passion for the subject(s) and hope to pass it on to your son or daughter while helping them to improve comprehension and performance.
I worked in the Chicago Public school system for over 7 years before deciding to move out to colorful Colorado. I taught a variety of math subjects, including Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry and Statistics. As part of the curriculum in my classes, I would teach units on ACT / SAT prep.
The 1-1 tutoring I did with my students was my favorite part of the job. I also have no qualms admitting that I legitimately enjoy doing math problems. However, I am most passionate about helping students to overcome frustrations and hurdles and to succeed!
I work in-person with my students because I believe this is the best and most efficient way for students to learn. I think it is important to establish a relationship with students and build rapport so that they are comfortable and primed to have a lot of fun. High schoolers struggle enough with paying attention, so why add a computer screen to the equation?? I am happy to meet at a library, coffee shop, or at home.
Questions? Feel free to reach out. Let's turn your son or daughter into a MATHLETE!!
