About
I accept where a student is on the "math understanding" continuum and go from there with the student. My objective is to help a student reach his/her math goals by helping the student take ownership of concepts. This way the student is better prepared to take the tests.
I thoroughly enjoy helping a student feel comfortable with working math problems and helping a student succeed in the subject of math. Working through logical thinking is a precursor to making life a little easier for a person.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I ask the student what they understand about the problem. Based on the response, I start filling in the holes through open-ended questions. This might require going back to the learning the student does understand and build from there. Ultimately, I show the student how to work the problem in steps, we then work another problem together, followed by working parallel and ultimately the student does a problem by him/herself. This leads to self-confidence in mastering the work.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a degree in education where my favorite subject was how students learn. I have 20 years of teaching/tutoring math where I put these theories into practice and they work!!!
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I like to charge anywhere between $20 - $25 per hour. It depends on whether the student needs ongoing tutoring or just a one-time meeting. If it's ongoing, then I might even charge less.
