About Me

I have 2-3 years of tutoring experience and have had great success with my students ranging from middle school to college-level. I began tutoring by helping other students in my high school calculus classes. In college, I worked as a math and science tutor with a company called Group Excellence. Subjects ranged from remedial algebra, geometry, to calculus, and biology. I worked one-on-one with Middle school and High school students preparing students for exams, helping with homework, and lots of SAT, ACT, and math test preparation. In graduate school, I instructed undergraduate courses in Environmental Biology in a classroom setting, teaching students about introductory earth science. I prefer one-on-one tutoring and enjoy engaging my students with fun and challenging math problems. I like to apply math to real world situations to allow my students to fully understand the relevance and necessity of knowing and using math in their everyday lives. Please contact me about any questions you may have! I look forward to working with you to reaching your GPA and test score goals! I began my college career as a math major and have taken several math courses passing with A's. Math is a subject I have always been passionate about, but did not want to pursue as a career. I have extensive experience across various levels of math from basic algebra to college level matrix theories. Some of the courses I took in college include: Calculus II, Linear Algebra and Matrix Theory. I tested out of Algebra and Pre-Calculus with my Math SAT scores, and took Calculus I in high school and received college credit through the AP test. I have also had extensive experience with various levels of biology as a biology major and have passed with A's. Some of the courses I took as an undergraduate include: introductory biology, genetics, evolution, ecology, and botany.
