...I am especially proud of one student who took and failed the math Praxis test three times before she came to me. Instead of taking more and more practice tests, we retraced our steps, filled in her math learning gaps, and she passed on her fourth try! I have tutored students in Common Core math for as many years as Common Core standards have been in use in the state of Ohio. (read more)
...I welcome the opportunity to help others learn how to create documents. I have an undergraduate degree in mathematics and computer science with masters degrees in educational technology and administration and a doctorate in curriculum and teaching. Aside from my vast knowledge and experience in... (read more)
...My main approach to trigonometry is to build up a foundation of important facts like the unit circle and then hone in on strategies in problem solving. Practice will be key in developing these skills, so I try to prepare my students to use their homework time effectively. I have a great deal of... (read more)
...I would actually say most of the plug and chug is easier than most calculus plug and chug IF one understands what is going on in the first place.

My strength in teaching linear algebra is that I am good at making it seem fairly concrete and simple, not abstract, so that the theorems aren’t so bad after all, or even common sense. (read more)

I enjoy assisting students with this important bridge to Calculus and other college-level classes. I am a long-time teacher of the proof and logic course at our university. (read more)
