I am a newly graduated college student working part-time right now as I look for opportunities to teach abroad in the next couple of years. I graduated with a bachelor’s of science in engineering, and was a tutor as well as tutored during my years at school so I have a good understanding of different effective teaching methods. I appreciate feedback to improve each learning experience.

I love to explore the "why" beyond the question itself, so if you're curious and eager to learn we'll get along well. I'm also aware that everyone learns in different ways and at different rates, so I make sure to be patient and try multiple approaches so we can see what works best. With the flexibility to assist with sciences, humanities, and test prep, as well as over a decade of experience tutoring, including as an in-class tutor for Algebra 2, I do my best to foster a love of learning and will work to develop your understanding of the curriculum and the world around you.

Melissa H.
We hired Susan to help our daughter Caidyn with Geometry. Susan made her feel comfortable and worked hard to make sure she understood her lessons. Susan was flexible with her time when Caidyn needed extra help to get through her work. Caidyn's grade went up significantly because of the help she got. If we need help again in the future, we will definitely hire Susan.

Perhaps what I most appreciate about Carissa is that she’s not only been a good math tutor, but she gets along amazingly with my 15-year-old-grandson. He can be in a negative space when I pick him up from school, and he clearly perks up when he and Carissa are working together – I hear them laugh together often. There doesn’t seem to be any ‘superiority’ in the relationship although it’s clear that she’s won the respect of my grandson. Other things I also appreciate: she’s been highly reliable; she’s made every effort to accommodate and flex to meet our needs relative to schedules; she’s researched and recommended helpful resources; she’s been responsive when I’ve sent her messages; she’s been good about leeting us know if there a reason she needs to miss a session – and she always tries to make it up; she’s been willing to communicate with my grandson’s math teacher at school; and I should not fail to mention that I think her rates are quite reasonable. Carissa is able to be an effective tutor without standing on formality, and that not the impression I got from other math tutors I initially considered. I truly ENJOY seeing her every week, and I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Sandie was so patient and made our lessons a lot of fun, as well as practical. I got to decide what we would be working on and even got to choose what some of my homework would be. She always found a way to make everything I did more interesting. I am now excelling in all of my classes, and my parents are really happy.
