"I patiently teach math fundamentals to anyone who gets confused, struggles or finds something about math difficult to understand.
Math is a foreign language I am fluent in. Understanding and translating problems from English into math equations correctly and then solving these equations is an important skill that I have effectively taught my students using simple techniques anyone can learn.
My creativity has helped many students who find math boring, or just plain difficult, give math another try. I believe every student can learn math, and even want to learn more on their own!
I also can help those who are curious or want to know more about how different math topics are related to each other and what makes these relationships true.
I have been a non-traditional homeschool math tutor since 2014 and an effective online math tutor with Wyzant since March, 2020.

I have a Bachelors Degree in Mathematics from MIT and a Masters Degree in Education from Harvard." less...
