Lisa

Certified Tutor

I graduated with my B.A. in Education from Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas. I have taught both math and science in Texas public schools for the past six years. I have tutored students both one-on-one and in small groups since I was in high school. My tutoring specialty is middle school math, Algebra I, and of course SAT math (because it's lots of middle school math!). Algebra I is my absolute favorite subject to teach and tutor - I love how it is cumulative and you keep using the skills you've learned for the rest of the year. I believe that understanding math is based on a student's skill ability. Just like a musical instrument or sport, it becomes a lot easier the more you practice it. Once you invest the time and gain understanding, math becomes fun like a puzzle! Outside of my math world, in my free time, I love to hang out with my lab, Cooper. I also enjoy reading, yoga, and swimming.
