Classrooms and textbooks lack student-tailored approaches. Many students resort to memorization, with no real understanding of the content. But this studying strategy doesn't work—together, we'll make the connections in math and fuel your interest for STEM.

    I hired Valerie to help my son prepare for his upcoming geometry test. My son has always struggled with math, and I knew we needed to step it up. With Valeries help, my son passed the test with flying colors. He is now more enthusiastic about math, and often goes on tangents to teach me how applicable geometry is to the real world - all thanks to this marvelous tutor.

    After months of falling behind in trigonometry class, I knew I had lots of catching up to do. Valerie held my hand throughout the entire process; she drilled in the important topics and I was able to review all topics within a few weeks. Now I am taking Calc 1, and this knowledge is still stuck wit me.

    I dont learn well in class, because the teacher tends to move too fast. I got a D- on my first algebra test but after several sessions, I got a A- on my next test. She is excellent at connecting the concepts to each other and to the real world, I can now study concepts on my own without being lost.

    I took a gap year so entered calc one with little knowledge of prerequisites like algebra and trig. However, Val guided me every step of the way, explaining very thoroughly and keeping a pace which allowed for both review and learning new content.

    Frequently asked questions

    I invite students to describe their academic goals and to present their homework problems, academic performance, known weaknesses, and learning style to pinpoint the areas on which we need to work. I then suggest to my students an improvement plan and analyze their progress along the way.

    All lessons are $30 per hour. You decide how long the lesson should be.

    I work with all students! From middle schoolers to college undergraduates, I have the experience to make our session a productive one.
