Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I start by getting to know the students and helping them feel comfortable. I'll try to guage their feelings about their class and their comfort level with math in general. I might ask them about their study habits. If they are seeking general help, I'll ask them what they are learning in class and get a sense of where they are. I will ask them if they can point to particular problems and concepts they are struggling with, and if they can't I will help them pinpoint their struggle areas and go from there.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a B.S. and M.S. in mathematics from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. In addition I have over 3 years of tutoring and teaching experience.
I've worked as....
-A precalculus teaching associate at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo
-A Math workshop leader at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo
-A Math tutor for Cal Poly learninglab
-A private and drop in math tutor for all levels

I charge 40-55$ an hour depending on travel.
How did you get started teaching?
I started tutoring part time in University, and have enjoyed it ever since. I am passionate about math and helping others. It's a joy to see when people start to understand a challenging problem and improve their math skills.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have mostly worked with college students and adults. I've worked with students learning the very basics of math, all the way through students taking advanced college level math. I am looking to expand my tutoring to High School and middle school levels! I want to help younger students succeed and build their math skills because I believe having a good experience with math in middle school and high school will set students up for success down the line!
