G-Math Tutoring
About
I love getting students excited about math and seeing them start to understand how numbers work. I have been helping students learn about math and math fluency for over 15 years! I am a certified math teacher and I have taught all grade levels through Algebra I. I am now an instructional coach and I help teachers teach math.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to talk to a student and ask them to explain to me what they are struggling with in their class or with math in general. I use that information to give them a few problems to see how they are thinking through problems. I use this data to pinpoint the areas that I need to work on with the student and also let the student ask me any questions about what is happening in their current classroom that is confusing them so that we can make sure to get clarification for them.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been a math classroom teacher for over 12 years and then I moved into the coaching role. I have studied all grade levels and what the progression of math looks like from grade level to grade level. I help teachers read data set up small groups and do intervention. I also did this as a teacher in my own classroom.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I usually charge between 40-60 dollars a lesson depending on the grade level and the distance I have to travel to neet with a student
How did you get started teaching?
I always had a passion for teaching but started working in the medical field as a Respiratory Therapist but even in that job I gravitated to rehab and teaching my patients how to take care of themselves. My family moved to an area where I could get my teaching certification and I have not looked back!
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked will all types of students. I have taught the Pre AP class and some of the regular classes in every place that I have taught.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
A student should think about the specific things that they need help with. Do not be to general with your teacher when you are asking for help. Advocate for yourself. Talk about how on this problem every time I get to this part I get stuck or I always make this mistake, can you help me understand it better. Maybe the student could even ask the teacher to use a visual representation to help with the understanding of the concept.
