What prompted you to seek tutoring?

I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Varsity Tutors really helped me understand the concepts during my Calculus 2 class. My tutor has such amazing patience and is open to many questions! Lastly, was always on time and very prompt. Highly suggest Varsity Tutors.

Certified Tutor

Welcome! I consider it a privilege to work one on one with students, and have been tutoring since I retired in 2018. I tutor math, algebra, prealgebra, geometry, trigonometry, precalculus, and college algebra. Learning is an adventure. I learn new things every day. Many people have math anxiety. I see myself as an interpreter (changing "math speak" into ordinary terms) and a facilitator. It is my job to help you not only learn math concepts, but to facilitate your true learning potential. I started out tutoring math while attending college to earn extra money, but I absolutely fell in love with teaching. I started off joining the army while still in high school. I was a paratrooper, Korean linguist and psychological operations specialist---we designed propaganda aimed at the enemy to elicit a desired response (brain washing 101 LOL). I hope that while you are in session with me that I can help you learn concepts, reduce anxiety and love to learn.

Hobbies

I love warm weather months and activities. I go kayaking almost every weekend. I also love to go camping with my son and daughter. I enjoy a good book on a rainy day. I have five dogs! I enjoy taking them out on adventures. I'm also very shy until I get to know you.
