Ward Math Tutoring
About
I love math and helping students. I am a retired math professor and I just moved to Florida. I started tutoring shortly after I retired 4 years ago.
I've taught high school math for 20+ years, covering algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus & some statistics.
I like to make students comfortable so they can ask the questions they may not ask in class. Together we work on filling in missing bits of information so they become competent in matematics. I spend time getting to know my students and making the tutoring process fun.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
We spend some time getting to know one another. I introduce myself. I let them introduce themselves to me, and we chat about school.
Then I take a look at their school work and their assignments. I ask them to identify what they don't understand. Before I dig in to assist, I watch them attempt their homework, so I can see the steps where they are having problems.

I am a retired community college math professor, and I've been teaching msth for 20+ years.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
My standard fee is $60 per hour.
