My Approach...
With all my students we discuss test prep and test taking. I teach my students the strategies needed to become more confident and strong when testing.
What type is your student?
I have worked with a wide range of students: from the high ability student to the resource student with a designated math disadvantage. I recognize the visual, auditory and the kinesthetic learners. I have enjoyed classrooms from 7th-12th grade and early college.
​
I love to help dependent learners become independent learners.
Conquer the Giants
Struggles with math are not unusual but can leave a student feeling lonely and overwhelmed. When in high school, or early college, your math topics can feel like giants that cannot be conquered. I want to help change that!!
You can be a mathematician!
It is not so much about how much math you know but about being a problem solver. Let's work together to develop your logic and visual skills to help you become a thinker and problem solver.
Advantages...
1
A One-on-One Advantage
Many students get to the end of the school day frustrated and struggling to hold the information from class. Homework time comes and they work very slowly or are lost.
Your student may benefit from the one-on-one coaching that I can provide them for their math journey. My goal is to build their math confidence, not just their knowledge.
2
Availability Advantage
Virtual tutoring is not just "all the rage", but it is extremely flexible and practical. I am able to meet with more students and with more privacy. I have the experience of running virtual classes during the COVID months using Zoom
3
Expert SAT Advantage
I have worked as an SAT Math Coach for the last 2 years for a public high school. I have learned there are a lot of good resources available but most students need some guidance and motivation to choose a study plan and stick with it. My students will get help with organizing and digesting it all.
As a coach I teach test taking strategies as well as content.
