Tutoring With Danielle

I like to make the first interaction as stress-free as possible. My style is positive and supportive, but I also nudge and challenge my students to reach their full potential. Sometimes you can't always see the next step, and that's where a good tutor comes in. My background in coaching allows me to get to know new students quickly and easily, and we can get to work right away making things better. I want to know your goals for tutoring so that I can make the most impact and help you to get where you want to go. Each situation is different, and I believe that good communication right at the beginning sets everyone up for success.

I attended the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities and gained a Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering with two years in Undergraduate Honors classes (that means 4 semesters of Honors Calculus and 2 semesters of Honors Physics!). I tutored college students both 1 on 1 and in group settings during this time, including athletes. I also tutored middle- and high-school students in math and science during my college years. Since then, I have worked for large companies in engineering and leadership roles. I have designed and led multi-day corporate training classes, and my passion for teaching has also led me to become a life coach. I'm now in the process of a career change into software engineering.

I have a standard rate of $40/hr for my tutoring services in math, science, and computer programming. I accept PayPal or Venmo for payment.

I have had amazing mentors, coaches, and teachers in my life that have made a significant impact on who I am today and my current successes. I began tutoring in college, but quickly moved on to include teaching dance, dog training classes, corporate education, and life coaching. I love guiding rather than telling and seeing growth in my students.

I've worked with college students, adult learners, and middle- and high-school age students.

Most of my students are in college needing help with Algebra. I really enjoy working with them!

Ask questions! Start communicating without feeling tied to someone. This is a relationship-based service as well as knowledge/expertise-based. If you don't get along with your tutor or if there are personality differences that make it difficult for you to learn, then you won't be successful. Do a session or two with someone and always feel free to work with someone else. This is your education and your path - you get to ask for what you need. All tutors want you to be successful, and the good ones know when they might not be a good fit for you. Be Brave and reach out! Tutoring can make a HUGE difference in your success - especially the speed of understanding.

What's difficult for you? What do you find fun? What do you want help with?
