Frequently asked questions

  • I am in Florida, but I meet with my students virtually via Zoom. This is convenient for the student, and allows the sessions to be recorded for the student’s later review!

  • My PhD in math is combined with clear and compassionate instruction. I know that math is challenging, but I also know it’s not impossible.

    To see reviews from real parents of my students, see the reviews on my Facebook page HERE.

  • Standard sessions are 60 minutes.

    I recommend weekly sessions for consistency.

    We can discuss what fits your needs during a free consultation!

  • In my experience as a university instructor, high school teacher, and math tutor, here are my top 3 reasons why students struggle with math:

    1. Their instructor teaches in a way different than the student learns. As your private tutor, I adapt instruction to the specific needs of my students.

    2. They have holes in their math history that were never filled.

      Math builds on itself, and if a previous level was never mastered, they will always be behind. I work to identify and resolve gaps in understanding.

    3. They don’t have a dedicated time slot to study math. I discovered this with my own 12-year-old daughter. She came home with an unfavorable grade on her math test and my first thought was, “How did this happen? I’m a math tutor!” She has a great math teacher at school, a desire to learn, and a math dad! So, how did this happen? Well, she simply did not have a regular time slot devoted to studying math. So, she booked an appointment with her dad to have a focused and undistracted time of practice, and her grade doubled on her next math test. This is exactly what regular math tutoring will provide your student.

  • We will aim for the same time(s) each week, but we can be flexible. I understand that life happens!

  • The base rate is $110/hr. The rate drops by $10/hr if you commit to two or more sessions per week. The rate drops by another $10/hr if you commit to at least 10 weeks.

    There are plenty of free math resources online for math help. If that works for you, then you don’t need me.

    But if you are looking for personalized, one-on-one math help from a compassionate, clear, and experienced tutor, then I am here to help!
