Math With Brianna
About
We all understand math differently. Sometimes it takes a unique approach to be able to connect the dots when it comes to math concepts, while still using the methods that are taught.
So many people dread learning mathematics. I like to be able to relate and share my own struggles and perseverance, while having fun at the same time. I strive to make sure everyone leaves comfortable and ready to take on the next step.
For three years I studied child psychology at Western Michigan University. I changed my major after taking a statistics course, and became a teaching assistant for my statistics professor. I am currently studying accounting at Southern New Hampshire University while also working in accounting. I’ve always had a love for mathematics; especially algebra and geometry. I started tutoring one-on-one, peer-to-peer in high school, and have continued to tutor high school students since.
