Presley Kimball Math Tutoring
About
Hello! My name is Presley and I am a current Ph.D. student at Brown University. Teaching is one of my passions, and I love working with students of all ages. I have experience tutoring elementary level all the way through University level. My favorite part about private tutoring is problem-solving 1-on-1 with the student to help them learn in a way that works for them. No two students are the same, so I work with each student on an individual student to help them the best.
I enjoy working with students and seeing their progress. My favorite part is when a student isn't understanding something, but after I reteach the required material and we work through a couple of examples, they are able to do it by themselves. I love the look of pride on their faces when everything makes sense to them, and they feel that they have mastered it.
I am a determined and driven tutor who will work to find what is best for you!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When working with a new student, I always start with the material that the student is learning in class. From there, we can focus on that material, or we can find other problems that may be coming from earlier misconceptions.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Depending on the distance that I would need to travel, I have usual standard rates. I am also willing to work with the family to find a reasonable rate or location that works for them. Getting the student the help that they need is more important than the rate.
How did you get started teaching?
What types of students have you worked with?
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Before coming to ask questions, I would make sure you know what you are struggling with. It is easiest to work with a student if we have a starting point of what the problem is and then we can work through it. It is hard to try to find the problem without knowing what the student finds confusing.
