Kathleen
Katy - Art Educator, Illustrator, and Watercolor Artist
My inspiration is nature. I grew up on the great plains of central Wyoming - which has proved to be much of my artwork's subject matter. This constant exposure to nature in the Rocky Mountains has given me inspiration to recreate it's beauty through original artwork. Artists like Claude Monet and Renoir also inspire me to use nature as my muse through their color pallet and subject matter. My style comes through my line work - the complicated forms and shapes that simple lines take o... Read more

Russell
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

Peggy
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
