"I've been tutoring since 1986 and have a Bachelor of Science,(Pure)Mathematics degree from California State University, Hayward(now called East Bay). I was a full-time, single, working mother and full-time college student and athlete at one time. Now, I work full-time as a Math Tutor, and I am a proud grandmother of a very adorable 2-year old granddaughter! I also am a lover of animals and have 2 dogs and 3 cats of my own. They are my Math Mascots! =)

When I began tutoring, I worked with school-aged students in study skills and time management in all subjects. Now I only tutor Mathematics, but study skills, time management, and test taking strategy are all a big part of it.

I've tutored kindergarten students up through 70-year old students and teachers with masters degrees in all levels of Mathematics. I think of myself as a "Math Coach/Cheerleader/Math Therapist" when it comes to the support I like to give my students.

I teach all levels of Mathematics and all levels of students(child/adult)with or without learning disabilities.

I focus on self-confidence and self-esteem.I believe patience, encouragement, and positive feedback help motivate students. Once a student realizes that math IS manageable, he/she can feel a sense of accomplishment. And, as long as a student is patience with him/herself and gives him/herself time and credit for trying and persevering AND realizing how much he/she has learned and knows, he/she will succeed!

So, patience and perseverance is my motto! I'll work as hard as you want to work(sometimes harder!)

Please don't hesitate to call for help! =) YOU CAN DO IT!!!=)" less...
