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

Help for your math needs!
I've had experience teaching and tutoring math as a grad student in math, and currently work as a math tutor at the community college. It's been very gratifying to take students who are struggling with math to the point where they are crying and get them to feel better about their progress. I try hard to prepare students not just for the class they're currently taking, but also give them a good background for future math classes. One of the stumbling blocks for some students is simple lack o... Read more
