About
Fast -- Effective -- Expert -- Best Value
Expertise
We bring strong content knowledge and a deep understanding of how to teach challenging subjects. Our approach is informed by best practices and their underlying research findings.
Joy and enthusiasm
We bring enthusiasm for learning, a respectful approach, and a sensitivity to and appreciation of students' individual needs.
Connection
We are able to connect with our students, to understand their specific needs and help them reach their specific objectives.
Quality, Effectiveness, and Efficiency
Our expertise allows us to perform rapid informal assessments to quickly identify a student's specific needs, to provide appropriate and effective instruction, and to provide longer-term recommendations for learning.
What do others say about us? Following are some examples:
Could not have asked for a better tutor. Lindsey took the time to learn the unique needs and learning style of our daughter. She then tailored her approach to effectively engage our child. Lindsey used a wide range of techniques to relate and convey concepts. Our child enjoyed working with her, and we would be happy to work with her in the future.
===
Lindsey is very thorough, detail oriented, supportive, patient and kind. I cannot put into words how awesome my daughter's lessons have been with Lindsey and how beneficial for my daughter. She takes time to genuinely help the student grasp the material. She works with my daughter in multiple subject area. We originally contacted her for struggles in Pre-Calculus. After the first lesson my daughters first quiz was a 100 and her outlook was better than it had been in weeks.
It's very rewarding to help students gain confidence through mastery. For each new skill a student learns, there is a magnified effect. By learning new content, students are also learning how the brain learns, which allows them to be understanding and patient with themselves during the process of learning. This also helps them develop persistence in overcoming other kinds of challenges, thus equipping them with practical skills for a healthy future. It's a privilege and an honor to contribute to a student's educational journey. And it is a joy to help them succeed.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When working with a new student, I will introduce myself, invite students and parents to introduce themselves, and ask a few questions so that I can understand your interests, needs, and current objectives. It also helps me to understand your experiences in school, what works best for you in learning, and any special needs.
During our lesson, I will be observing and asking questions to help me assess your understanding and your strategies, and to help you improve upon them, so that you can learn not only content but also how-to-study skills.
I enjoy helping students reach their goals successfully. It's very rewarding to help students gain the confidence that comes from mastery.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My dual careers in engineering and education; my international experience; and my work in developing curricula for K-12, college, and professionals provide me with unusual strength in teaching. I am skilled at rapid, informal assessments that allow me to develop my "how-did-she-do-that-so-fast?" understanding of student specific needs and to provide "that's-just-what-I-needed" instruction tailored to the student's specific needs. Also, I routinely provide tailored practice sets to help students develop the specific building-block skills they need.
Typically, students will learn very rapidly with me, and will need fewer sessions than with other tutoring services.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Why is my fee different than others?
The short answer: the value of the services I provide is so much greater than what others provide, that my fee is a bargain in value.
Most other tutors will help during the session. I arrive prepared; I bring unusual expertise; we will be unusually efficient in our work; students have the opportunity to develop an unusual depth and breadth of understanding when studying with me; and I am able to resolve specific deficiencies of understanding or skill on an unusually short timeline.
How can I accomplish this?
My dual careers in engineering and education; my international experience; and my work in developing curricula for K-12, college, and professionals provide me with unusual strength in teaching. I am skilled at rapid, informal assessments that allow me to develop my "how-did-she-do-that-so-fast?" understanding of student specific needs and to provide "that's-just-what-I-needed" instruction tailored to the student's specific needs. Also, I routinely provide tailored practice sets to help students develop the specific building-block skills they need. Therefore, students typically learn very rapidly with me, and they do not need my instruction for many sessions.
What do you receive for your investment?
Your fee includes tailored instruction including preparation and follow-through; my transportation to and from your location; and any additional materials we use in session and in recommended practice sets (although I may recommend other texts and resources for your consideration, which would not be included); and a written summary of each session.
