I am a graduate of the University of Miami, Florida, achieving a B.S. and a M.S. degree, majoring in math. My strength in teaching math is my ability to make abstract math understandable to students. Confidence is an attitude that makes a world of difference in learning. I will change my students' attitude toward math positively and provide them with math skills, so thorough that they will feel confident in doing math independently and successfully. With confidence, they will raise their math...

We tried many tutors, and nothing really worked out for us, until we found Nancy. She is an excellent tutor. Super knowledgeable, energetic, and very positive. Her high energy helps engage students, and motivates them to learn more about the subject. Nancy is very reliable, and always willing to go above and beyond. She obviously deeply cares about the success of her students. My son is taking precalculus/trigonometry at a very demanding school. His grade was a C-. Nancy started tutoring him about 1 1/2 months ago, and now his grade is a B. His school teacher even made a comment that he has noticed an improvement lately. We recommend Nancy, and will be working with her to prepare for SAT/ACT.

Nancy did a great job tutoring my daughter. She was very knowledgeable in algebra 2 and a good teacher. We will definitely use Nancy again.
Alex M. from Pleasant Hill, CA
We began working with Nancy eight weeks before the STAR test, and the results were impressive. My daughter's score increased over 100 points. Wow! And the best part was that my daughter enjoyed her time with Nancy and was more than anxious to attend her sessions. Now that the new school year has began, we have once again picked up our studies with Nancy because my daughter absolutely loves studying math with her. Nancy is an extremely gifted educator. I continue to highly recommend her.

My daughter has been tutored by Nancy for the last eight months, and I am very happy with her service. My daughter is currently in Geometry. With her help, my daughter has been getting straight As in Geometry. Nancy always does the problems with my daughter and helps her find her mistakes. Nancy makes sure my daughter understands the subject. She is very flexible and very generous with her time. Nancy also helps my daughter prepare for the math SAT. She always gives my daughter extra time to review the SAT questions. Nancy has been a wonderful tutor and I highly recommended her to anyone who needs a math tutor.

My daughter has been meeting with Nancy for Geometry lessons since the beginning of the school year. I must say, Nancy is a godsend. She is very dedicated and committed to my daughter’s success, continually going above and beyond the call of duty. She is consistent and extremely reliable in committing to weekly meetings with my daughter. If rescheduling was necessary, she was always very accommodating and graciously worked with us to find a mutual time that worked for both. Not only that, Nancy is extremely generous with her time, often taking questions and clarifying material beyond the designated hour if needed. She also has a broad base of knowledge in math and is highly effective in helping my daughter achieve success on the material being covered. She is consistently patient and encouraging, which has helped develop my daughter’s self-esteem and confidence in her ability to handle the subject matter. With Nancy’s help, my daughter was able to do exceptionally well on the subject and earned an A her first semester. She continues to excel, while working with Nancy during the second semester. I credit Nancy for much of my daughter’s success in math this past school year and for my daughter’s continued interest in the subject. I know that my daughter has a great advantage having Nancy as her tutor. We hope to be able to continue to work with Nancy as my daughter advances to higher levels of math in school.

Nancy is a wonderful tutor. She is extremely patient with my daughter and is always very organized and punctual. Her system of learning is easy for my daughter to understand. We have been working with Nancy twice a week for about a month or so and I am very happy with the results that I have seen in my daughter's understanding of math concepts. She is also very encouraging which my daughter responds to very well. I'm very happy we found her!

Nancy has done a wonderful job in building my daughter's math foundation stronger. She is more confident in her math skills now. Nancy was exactly what she needed. I highly recommend Nancy. She is so excited about mathematics. It has been a pleasure.
Mary R. from Alamo, CA
Nancy was very unprofessional. We had an arrangement for undoing lessons. My son had surgery. I contacted Nancy to ask about a lesson. She called me back and said she was booked until the end of this year. And to please not call her again. Really?? Very out of character. I'm very concerned about her change of character. It was so abrupt, that I would not recommend her to any family.
Kenna V. from Lafayette, CA
Nancy was clearly knowledgeable about the topics my daughter needed help on and had many different ways to solve problems. She presented solutions clearly in a way that allowed my daughter to become more confident with the material before her final. We would call upon Nancy again!
Kurtis M. from Pleasant Hill, CA
Nancy has been tutoring my 11 year old daughter for several months. She was struggling in math her first year in middle school. Nancy's approach to teaching and calm demeanor have helped my daughter to be an honor roll student. I'm very pleased with the progress my daughter has made and plan to have Nancy tutor my daughter again next school year.

Nancy was able to quickly establish rapport with my daughter. She is very patient and encouraging. She broke down the concept into understandable pieces. A very good experience.
Nancy M. from Walnut Creek, CA
Nancy was very helpful on this first tutoring session. My daughter really likes her, which I believe will go along way in making her tutoring most effective. We're excited to continue with Nancy and raise my daughter's geometry grade!
Cynthia T. from Pleasant Hill, CA
We had two appointments with Nancy before finals. Nancy worked with my daughter and reviewed old tests and concepts. My daughter went into the Final feeling very confident and prepared. My only regret is that we didn't have Nancy earlier in the semester. We shouldn't have waited so long!
Erica R. from Walnut Creek, CA
We just had our first lesson with Nancy. My daughter walked away saying, "I actually learned Algebra!" I'd say that's a huge success already.
Farnaz Z. from Walnut Creek, CA
Loved her! The first time my daughter met her, she couldn't stop talking about how helpful she was and how she enjoys having her help her with her grades!
Cynthia C. from Pleasant Hill, CA
Our son has give positive feed back on what Nancy is teaching him and questions he has for her. The second lesson out of four , I picked him up, he got in the car and immediately said" I understand probability!" I was so excited! Thank you!
