"After earning my undergraduate degree in mathematics, I earned a master's degree in library and information science. I have worked in a middle school in Aurora, IL for seven years, at elementary schools in Streator, IL, and in the community college in Oglesby, IL. I now work in a public library.

I took every chance I could get to help with math in the schools where I've worked, so I have had the chance to tutor students from middle school through college, as well as adult learners. I'm delighted when I can help my students understand.

I love teaching math from Prealgebra and Algebra to Geometry and Precalculus. I'll help you see why your textbook or teacher is telling you to take certain steps to work through a problem. I'll help you remember the steps to take, and prompt you in sample problems. I do my best to give creative examples explaining math problems, relating them to the concrete world.

I help students prepare for standardized tests from the ACT to the GRE. I teach students how to write well and help them proofread and cite English papers. I have taught computer skills to beginners, from basic introductions to general computers to how to use Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel.

I look forward to the chance to help you!" less...
