"Hi! I'm Emily! I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics in 2002 from Houghton University and a Master’s degree in Mathematics in 2006 from South Dakota State University. I have enjoyed working with students ever since!

I taught college mathematics courses for 14 years. I worked for 2 years as a graduate student at South Dakota State University, 4 years at the University of Montana, and 8 years at Johnson County Community College where I was a finalist for the Lieberman Teaching Excellence Award. I have taught a variety of courses including Algebra, Math for Elementary Teachers, Finite Math, Precalculus, and Statistics. I love working with students and helping them to see the value in studying and learning math.

While I was at the University of Montana, I spent 3 years overseeing the on-campus math tutoring centers, as well as working as a tutor myself. I have also spent the last few years working as an online tutor. Through tutoring, I have been able to develop better teaching techniques by learning how students think about and learn certain topics. I love getting to know new students, and watching students develop a love for math, or at least appreciate it! Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule a lesson." less...
