"Hello, and welcome to Tutoring with Briana. I have 7 years of experience teaching students one-on-one in Math and Science. I specialize in math, having spent most of this time getting students ready for the SAT and ACT, and helping them with Algebra, Geometry, and Pre-Calculus. I can help students understand concepts, and get the grades they want. My own background is in Science. I have a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the State University of New York College at Oneonta.

As your tutor, I will use the curriculum and notes taken in class as the guideline for what material to teach. After discussing with the student and his or her parent where the struggle seems to stem from, we can proceed. We will build up the knowledge that the student needs to succeed. We will approach problems in multiple ways, and the student will teach back to me what he or she has just learned, so that I can address precisely the concepts that he or she is finding difficult. I want to make the information “click" in my student’s head as much as possible, because math builds on its self. I know the importance of getting a good test score to bring up a class grade, so when I come in to help, this will be the goal.

Success on ACT and SAT is entirely dependent on the level of preparation. The best remedy for test anxiety is knowing what is coming. I will teach your student to take the test. Come test day, there will be no surprises, we will have covered the material, learned the strategies, and mastered the skills needed to get into that dream college.
