Katie
Math Tutor, Former HS Math Teacher, 10+ years tutoring experience

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
