Nadine
Mathlady. Will tutor all math from Fractions thru Calculus
When I retired from the United States Air Force I swore I would never get up early again. But I still wanted to do something to continue making the world a better place. So I turned to something I had done for my friends in High School, my troops in the field, and my neighborhood kids, TUTORING! I have been doing it professionally now for over ten years. I love it when my student's understand a new concept. Their eyes light up, they smile at me and say, "but that's easy!" Most students ...
algebra 1
algebra 2
calculus
geometry
prealgebra
precalculus
trigonometry
differential equations
linear algebra
I have a BS degree in Math from Michigan State U, a Master's in Computer Systems from Air Force Institute of Technology, and completed PhD coursework in Geophysics at U.C. Berkeley. I have tutored (as an estimate) over a hundred students so far in elementary and advanced algebra. My basic method was to make sure they understood what slopes and intercepts were and how they worked before moving on to show how different forms of the basic Y = mX + b linear equations, (including the point slope, and two point method) were evolved.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this woman!!! Nadine is a wonderful tutor- I am an adult student who must pass College Algebra to graduate from my university and she has been so patient with me. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn Math and love it-

It is very hard to write a review about Nadine because it is hard to describe how much more she is than just a tutor or a teacher. First of all, Nadine is easy to reach by phone. Scheduling a tutoring session last minute has never been a problem. It is almost as if she knew the student's grade will depend on it. You can tell right away that Nadine has had a lot of experience teaching individuals who have a difficult time grasping math. For my boyfriend, he found math to be intimidating and he did not have any confidence in himself. He had problems completing problems during tests because he just drew a blank. Nadine has the patience to help the student build the blocks of understanding and develop the ability to solve more complex problems. She can recognize gaps of understanding, and she fills those gaps like the way workers repair a strip of road that is heavily used during commute hours. Without Nadine's help, I think my boyfriend would still be struggling with math. She helped remove whatever fear he had about taking tests and restored his faith in himself. Nadine is a wonderful, caring human being who knows what is at stake. Intermediate Algebra was the one class that kept my boyfriend from graduating. The semester is not yet over, but he is in very good shape because of his sessions with Nadine. He has a much more positive outlook on everything beyond passing a math class.

Nadine help me understand integration. Also, I like her tutoring better than just go to a school tutor because its a one to one type of experience, I can tell her what I knew and understood about the lesson and what needs to be reinforce. Thanks.

My experience with Nadine. The first hour was spend talking and answering her questions about algebra instead of reviewing my homework that I had brought with me. I wanted to discuss the process where I was having problems BUT Nadine insist on me answering her questions for the first hour. The first hour of my $40.00 was spend answering her questions and the 2nd hour was spent working on 3 problems and the rest of my homework Nadine wasn't interested in reviewing and didn't. I am on a budget and spend my hard earned money in hopes to get some questions answers and/or note to guide me with my sticking places in the operations which never happened. $80.00 spend in vain.

Nadine helped my son to understand the reasons why he is struggling with calculus (i.e. missing/unlearned steps in solving problems). She began to re-teach the missing information and improved his confidence and understanding.
