I am flexible with the study material and focus on what the family needs. If the student needs help with math one session and then history the next, I can adapt. I have a daughter in grade school, so I have firsthand experience at what today's students are going through. I want to give my students the support and advice I was unable to benefit from at their ages.

I have been teaching math since 2007 (I have recently completed my 18th year of teaching in high school). Still enjoy teaching. I am looking for more opportunities to expand my passion to others. I feel pretty comfortable with most HS and college math subjects, but I will say I am more specialized in Geometry, Algebra 2, and Statistics.

I have a generous amount of experience working with struggling students. I have adapted curriculum to fit the needs of each individual student. It is my goal to find which learning pattern works for each student. Every student can be successful when the student is clear what learning methods and styles work for him/her. I enjoy helping and supporting a student to find their way of learning material. I love when students start clicking with and understanding the material. ....

Ariba H. says, "She really made sure that every concept I struggled with was addressed and that by the end of our time together were ones that i fully understood. She really puts her all into each lesson and never brushes over anything. She also never made me feel bad for not understanding anything which was really beneficial to me wanting to come into our sessions everyday. Overall she is an amazing tutor and I really wouldn't have improved my score as much as i was able to without her help." Read more

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....

On average, students take 9 to 50 sessions.

What do private math tutors do?

Reviews for Wheeling math tutors

Recent success stories from people in the Wheeling area.
Jeff B.
I am the father of a recent graduate of Adlai E. Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire, IL. I wrote this review in September 2018 but didn’t have a good medium on which to post it until now. - My son graduated Stevenson in May 2018 and started as a freshman at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor in September 2018. - During elementary and middle school, my son struggled with mathematics. Although he was a good student overall, he often got frustrated by his math homework and tests. He had trouble grasping math concepts and applying them when needed. - When entering 6th grade, we recognized that he needed a tutor as the math curriculum became more challenging. - Math tutor Barry Lapping came highly recommended from a another Stevenson HS family who had hired Barry a couple of years earlier and saw great results with her children. - Mr. Lapping first started tutoring my son in October 2011. He and my son connected quickly, and it became apparent that Mr. Lapping had the ability to manage my son’s frustrations with math while moving him through the lessons. With Mr. Lapping’s patience, calm demeanor, and his years of tutoring students, we watched my son become a more confident and much higher-performing math student. (Note: Mr. Lapping was sure to provide my wife and me with a recap of each tutoring session along with next steps. We felt as if we were always fully informed.) - When our son entered Stevenson High School in 2014, he was placed in a more accelerated math program. The tutoring he had done with Mr. Lapping had paid off. In fact, by the time he was a senior, with ongoing and regular math tutoring from Mr. Lapping throughout high school, my son received straight A’s in his math classes his Junior and Senior years. He also received a top test score of 5 on his Advanced Placement Calculus A-B class in the Spring of 2018. He celebrated this success with a call to Mr. Lapping! - When I asked my son why he thought Mr. Lapping was so effective as a tutor, he said that it was because Mr. Lapping had a thorough understanding of the math concepts at hand and made it a point to help students understand the concepts and the process behind the math. He said Mr. Lapping wouldn’t just give you an answer, he worked with you to understand the answer and the concepts that led you to it. - My son credits Mr. Lapping for much of his success in mathematics and has recently expressed interest in the actuarial sciences as a collegiate path of study. Prior to Mr. Lapping, this possibility would have never crossed our minds. - My wife and I agree that hiring Mr. Lapping made a significant and positive impact on our son and his future. We believe that any student who has the opportunity to work with Mr. Lapping and experience his tutoring will benefit greatly. He is highly recommended as a math tutor.

One more person to add to your list of SoFlo successes! One need not look any further for a statistics tutor. Our tutor Manny yield successful results! His experience is evident as is his love of teaching. He identified my problems at their root and created a customized plan to help me improve. My tutor is a great motivator, making the material relevant and easy to understand with nice examples. Thank you for helping restore my confidence. The world needs great teachers as talented and devoted as you are Manny. I can say that you are in a league of your own. What a great mathematician/statistician you are! I tried two other statistics instructors that had great reviews and high credentials, but they did not make a positive enough impact on my statistics learning like you were able to do for me. They also charged more. I achieved more learning in less time when you taught. You're smart and you care for all the right reasons. My only regret or misfortune was that I had not discovered you earlier. Results are achievable with you! I'm living proof!
