Tutor Information
About
After securing my M.Ed. in Secondary Education in 2011 and working as a math teacher and a substitute teacher, I ventured onto a different career path in 2015 when my tutoring work unexpectedly became my full-time job. During my time as a self-employed tutor, I have accumulated close to 20,000 hours with well over 1000 students while maintaining a five-star rating. My areas of expertise are math, test prep, and writing.
Math may seem like some mysterious subject that only a few can comprehend, but that’s just not the case. I can help students unlock the mystery of mathematics and get them on the road to comprehension. In my time as a tutor and a teacher, I have instructed students at all stages of life and mathematical development—from third graders to adults in their 60's, from elementary math to college-level calculus.
Test preparation is where most of my tutoring hours come from, as the years of prepping for tests can stretch well into a person’s adult years. Improving one's score not only means being familiar with the subject material, but also requires the right pacing, problem-solving strategies, and test-taking skills. In over a decade as a professional tutor, I have helped more than 800 students prepare for the SAT, ACT, ASVAB, GED, and GRE.
Writing is another area where I can provide assistance. For students working on their college essays, I can offer guidance on selecting a prompt, constructing a response, and editing the final draft. If you’re writing a paper, I can walk you through the entire process, from brainstorming to constructing a thesis to finding and citing references to editing. I’ll help you understand the rules of grammar, punctuation, and format, and I'm familiar with the MLA, APA, and Chicago schools of style.
