"- Are you "struggling" with mathematics?

- Do you want to improve your grade in math?

- Do you want to take your math tests with greater confidence?

- Do you want to make math more fun?

OR --

- Are you already scoring an “A” in math but want to learn even more, so that you can be fully prepared for the next higher level of instruction?

- Are you at (or near) the head of the class and feeling unchallenged?

- Do you want to make math more fun?

If you answered “yes” to ANY of the above questions, then you should consider a math tutor. We'll spend an hour or two each week working and playing with math concepts, discussing mathematical principles, and focusing on any uncertainties or difficulties that you are having. There will be an emphasis on having fun, so puzzles and games, and real-world problems, will be used as instruction tools. No homework will be assigned.

Struggling students will improve their grades. Students who are currently “making the grade” will be more confident regarding their abilities and will be fully prepared for “honors” level instruction. High School students will be prepared for pre-calculus and calculus instruction, and will be in position to confidently pass their AP tests.

ALL students are fully capable of high academic achievement. However, many students are not confident in their abilities. It is my goal to increase each student's ability to understand the material and to learn effectively. Mathematics is not "difficult" if it is approached the right way. Anyone with the desire can learn algebra, trigonometry, and calculus if each concept is simplified.
