"Whether you need help with math or writing, I will break complex work down to manageable lessons. I aim to show you how you can help yourself and gain confidence with success. My undergraduate degree in Journalism and Master's degree in Business Finance have given me the skills to both communicate and calculate.

When tutoring math, I show students how a step-by-step process can help break down the method behind the math. I've found it's better to do the math first by hand, working out each step along the way, before making heavy use of a calculator or spreadsheet. Technology is an integral part of our business and education world, but it's important to understand the behind the scenes math so you can later build and modify powerful spreadsheets.

If writing is your area of concern, I can help you become a better writer by developing a system with you to manage any writing assignment. Whether you have an essay or a term paper, we will work on covering key elements such as content development, opening and closing paragraphs, citations, and use of proper grammar. I encourage my students to email their current writing projects to me before we meet. Having that advance time helps us get started right away.

My professional background includes 25+ years working as a top researcher/writer for a major Fortune 100 financial services company and for the past three years, I have been a college finance instructor, in a classroom setting. Math has always been a favorite subject for me because I like working with metrics which help to analyze, track and evaluate the world around us. In high school, I was the youngest student in each math class since I took an advanced track, with straight A's through Calculus.

It's nice to meet in person but I am flexible to also working with you on-line.

I'm here for you!" less...
