Math Genius Makes Algebra through Calculus Fun and Easy
! Due to health problems, I am temporarily unavailable for tutoring.! For many years I've tutored math, been employed as a mathematician, and worked on mathematical discoveries. I've worked wonders with students one on one using two deep principles: (1) If you understand the math, you will easily remember the formulas and know how to apply them. (2) Solving complex math problems involves breaking them up into small easy steps (which is teachable). I teach students how to tap their inner g... Read more

Better in Math

When tutoring students in math, I help them to know the methodology and to understand the reasoning behind it. So they have a better chance to be able to solve the current problems, to build a better math foundation, and yet to have fun with it as well. I work with the students around their class materials and assignments. Also, if it is needed, I could pick a few additional problems to enhance what they've learned. This connects their school work and would fill the gaps around the subjects... Read more

Janet
Science Rocks! says Janet
Hi. I am fascinated by how the world works and how science attempts to predict and explain the behavior of matter and living things. This early fascination led me to study science in college and become a high school science teacher. I am also fortunate to work as a state park ranger, in the summer, leading programs on local history, hikes, and animals with children, campers and park visitors. As a teacher, I know all too well, the confusion and frustration that can result when students ar... Read more
