Building Confidence and Boosting Student Engagement Since 1986
The math is the easy part. If all I had to do was demonstrate math knowledge to students, I'd have the simplest job in the world.
​
But for me, tutoring is about building--or often re-building--confidence. I search for the key to unlock the student's potential. I strive to work myself out of a job by teaching ahead.
​
My students usually go to class having already attempted the material with me. Thus, they are more receptive to instruction and better engaged.
​
I try my hardest to break the vicious cycle of confusion and frustration, replacing it with a positive cycle of confidence and learning.

Approaches to Learning
Some students are gifted at math and just need a session or two to understand a challenging topic.
​
Others want to raise an already high grade to an even higher level.
​
Still other students come to me in danger of failing. With one exception, no student of mine has failed their class.
​
Finally, I have experience teaching and tutoring students with learning disabilities. Although I am not an exceptional education teacher, I have tutored many students with ADHD and other learning differences.
​
I have learned to accommodate students' various learning styles. I build in short breaks for students who need them, and I provide sufficient wait time so that the student can think clearly without undue pressure to perform.

I have lots of friends who tutor, and I'm confident we can find a tutor for your child, no matter what the need or subject.
Standardized Test Prep
I have seven years experience preparing students for all four areas of the ACT.
I am also experienced with the PSAT, SAT, and GRE.
​
Test prep is most effective when the student practices at home as well as with me. I can recognize patterns in each student's mistakes and help each student formulate a strategy.
​
Although I can't guarantee specific results, most students do improve from the first to second attempt at a given test. Practice and individual tutoring often result in even bigger gains.
