About Me

Hey! I have been a student and so I know what it is like to struggle. While I did do very well in college, it did not come without times of frustration, wanting to throw my textbook out the window and wonder, "I wonder if maybe I should change my degree program." I tutored upper level mathematics (Math in the Liberal Arts, College Algebra on up) all four years of my college career. I enjoyed it a great deal. How I tutor is I try to see what the student knows and understands and start from there. I ask them questions and encourage them to try their best. I am good with analogies in order to explain more abstract ideas. I am lighthearted, because I realize the mathematics itself can be weighty enough. I enjoyed my job then, and I am confident that if you will come with the mindset to pursue understanding in what you are struggling with, we will both enjoy the pursuit. I am willing to tutor high school students. I know there are also some schools that start out 8th graders in Algebra 1, and I can help with that. I have grown very appreciative of elementary teachers. It is amazing how they can lay such foundational matters like arithmetic. I am not gifted in such areas. I have experience though in tutoring Algebra. I also taught a remedial course in Intermediate Algebra at a community college. In this spectrum, I have experienced and enjoyed helping people understand areas they struggle in. I have now been teaching in a high school setting since 2015, teaching from Algebra 1 all the way to Honors Trigonometry. Nevertheless, tutoring students who want help is still probably my favorite.
