Hello! I’m currently a college student at the University of Albany pursuing a degree in Pure Mathematics. I am able to teach comfortably up to Calculus thanks to years of tutoring experience. I also can help prepare for the math sections of the SAT or ACT! Any K-12 mathematics help, I can surely provide! I'm passionate about teaching the fundamentals and giving insight into the reasons mathematics is the way it is. I aim to not only improve grades and get work done, but provide a deeper understanding of the subject. I can help provide insight not only into the current upcoming year of math, but what future levels will have in store. I offer

How do I know if my child needs a math tutor?

Your child may need a math tutor if:

  • Their grades or test scores are declining
  • They get confused or frustrated with homework
  • They are having difficulty or lacking confidence with numbers
  • They are excelling in school and need more challenging tasks
  • You are no longer able to provide help with homework or learning
  • They have a learning disability

How many math tutoring sessions are needed?

Tutors suggest a minimum of one tutoring session per week until students build confidence, understand the subject, and improve grades. Sometimes, a few tutoring sessions can help students get back on track and regain confidence. If the student struggles in two or more classes, more sessions are recommended. On average, students take 9 to 50 sessions.

What do private math tutors do?

Math tutors are responsible for helping students with homework, teaching various mathematical concepts, motivating and boosting confidence, and teaching skills like note-taking, studying, and test-taking. Math tutors also show how to perform calculations, processes, and computations to complete their assignments.

What qualities make a good math tutor?

Verna and our son hit it off right away. They literally got to work within two minutes. Our son enjoys learning, and Verna has been a good fit. He has only had two sessions, but felt that both were beneficial and helped him to better grasp this difficult content.
