Experience
10+ years tutoring experience with all ages / 3 years private school teaching experience / 2 years as homeschool co-op math teacher / 1.5 years autism therapy experience / Free homework question help via text / Volunteer tutoring experience I have seen my students improve by 100 points on the SAT Math section, and 5 points on the ACT. I have had plenty of tutees improve from D's to B's and B's to A+'s. Even more gratifying is seeing my students grow in confidence and come to enjoy math once they finally get it! I take the pressure off, trying to make students laugh often to eliminate anxiety. I will never let them insist that they are bad at a subject. I get along very well with all students, and firmly believe in a combination of hard work and a "you can do this" attitude. I tutor in a fluent manner, leading students to follow their own steps to reach the answer themselves.
