Precision Math Tutoring
About
I know what it feels like to need a math tutor because I needed a lot of help and tutoring my first years of college. Eventually I became very good at math and earned A's in college algebra, trigonometry, calculus and other math classes.
I have a unique ability to relate to students in need of a math tutor because I was a student in need of a math tutor. I understand what it's like to need and recieve help and my experience as a student in need of a tutor has helped me become the best tutor for my students.
I have been a tutor for five years.
