"I have a Masters in Education with emphasis on Math. I have several years of experience in Math tutoring and over 20 years experience in the technical field of Engineering.

I am especially effective with students who have math anxiety or phobia. I use simple techniques to help them overcome it, so they can learn math with ease, and grow confident as a math student.

I also specialize in special needs tutoring, particularly ADD and ADHD. Patience and a positive attitude are very important attributes in tutoring. I have had great success working with students to raise their grades and self-confidence in Math.

There are times when I need to use concrete examples and work up to the abstract. And there are times when I need to explain the language of Mathematics. I assess the students' needs and will sometimes go over some basics if needed. I will do what is needed to help the student understand the material.

I also tutor for the ASVAB math. I was able to help a student raise his score very significantly in order to be accepted into the Army. His father and he were very pleased." less...
