"Each person learns differently. Reading from a text works great for some people. But in my experience, most students understand a subject better when they learn through using real examples, sketches, and visual materials. I have enjoyed helping students "get it" for over 20 years as a teacher, university faculty member, tutor, and director of a nonprofit school and learning center. Now I want to use that experience to help you succeed.

I majored in science as an undergrad, and always loved science and math. I enjoy helping students realize that, with the right approach, they can (at least) 'get through' finite math, calculus, or physics even if it's the last class they will take in that area. I'll share hints and tips so your work - whether it's doing a math example, editing a research paper, or getting ready to take the Praxis, TEAS, Hesi, ACT, ASVAB or other test - makes sense to you.

My doctorate in education focused on how people can learn best using books, materials, and 'stuff' (I ran the education departments at zoos and museums). I have an extensive background helping students with dyslexia and other learning challenges realize their potential. I've been told that my patience and a sense of humor make learning more fun too!

Need a math tutor? I can help students see the patterns in Finite Math, Algebra, Precalc, and Calculus that make it easier to complete an assignment or take a test. The steps that we go through make sense. You can learn this stuff even if you have not taken a math class in years!

Science was always one of my favorite subjects -- As a kid, I was always taking things apart or looking at something under the microscope. Too many students get stuck in all the vocabulary and miss how topics connect. That's a lousy way to learn, I can help you work through problems so they make sense on your homework or when it's time for the next exam!

Don't struggle -- please contact me to see how I can work with you to get the most out of your classes or get a better score on that important entranc" less...
