Widely published editorialist teaches essay-writing

Experienced college math teacher

My teaching method starts with trying to find the student's points of strength and understanding, and then building on those to address challenges or difficulties. I enjoy helping peop... Read more
Katie
Math Tutor, Former HS Math Teacher, 10+ years tutoring experience
I have always enjoyed helping others learn. I started tutoring and teaching when I was in high school, and I've never looked back! I attended the University of Notre Dame and graduated in 2011 with a 3.5 GPA and a double major in Mathematics and International Peace Studies. After graduation, I taught upper-level math courses at a high school. (My favorite was AP Calculus!) I realized my passion was working one-on-one with students though, so I left teaching to become a full-time private tutor... Read more
