I love helping people learn. I am certified in Kentucky to teach any elementary subject area as well as middle school and high school mathematics.

I am certified in middle and high school math, and have over 12 years' experience in the classroom. My greatest satisfaction comes from helping an individual gain an understanding of math concepts. I prefer to think of myself as someone who teaches people about math rather than as a math teacher.

Rita responded quickly and an appointment was made. Unfortunately my daughter and Rita agreed a different tutor would be more beneficial for the current precalculus Jesse is working on. Thank you for trying.

My son was struggling with Algebra 2 with a D grade so I went online and found Rita. We had no idea if this was going to be a "fit" for my son our not. I observed most of the first session as Rita took my son backwards through the processes until they got to the root of his issue. After the first session my son already was making progress by understanding what Rita was teaching him. I am proud to say that his last report card he now has a B in Algebra 2. Thank you Rita!

I hired Rita to help me improve my score on the Praxis 2 for elementary math because I went back to school after having two children and it had been quite a while since I had studied these types of problems. Rita was very patient with me, and was always on time. She's very knowledgeable and understanding. She never once made me feel like I was struggling or should have known how to do the math already. I'm happy to report that although my initial score was a 158 (which meant that I had failed, I needed a 164 to pass), after Rita helped me for several weeks my score improved to a 171. I couldn't be happier!! I would highly recommend hiring Rita as your tutor.

Rita is a very nice woman who is always available when we need her. She is very good at explaining the material in a way that my daughter can understand. If my daughter doesn't understand it the first way she explains it, she explains in a different way that makes more sense. There have been times when I have called her and she has come the same day, even on weekends. Rita has definitely been able to make math more interesting and understandable for my daughter. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs help.
Jeanne C. from Louisville, KY
She's pleasant and seems to really enjoy math and teaching it. My daughter seems to understand her instruction and is showing more confidence with math. We're going to continue to use her to tutor as my daughter still has a ways to go before she's caught up. We've ended our tutoring sessions with Ms. Rita on a positive note. My daughter is more confident with the math. Her multiplication and division skills have improved. We're very happy with the results of the tutoring provided by Ms. Rita. She comes highly recommended.

Rita did a great job helping my daughter with some prealgebra concepts. She was very patient and presented the material in a way my daughter could understand. Thanks Rita!

Rita is an excellent Algebra Tutor. She tutors my children, a freshman and a seventh grader. Rita is able to adjust the pace of work to fit the needs of each child. Rita is helping my children to make connections between new material and prior knowledge, which has made big strides towards building their confidence in Algebra. After only a month my children and Rita have developed mutual respect for one another. Both of my children look forward to their tutoring session with Rita to get extra help in areas where they may be struggling.
Sony S. from Louisville, KY
Rita helped my daughter with algebra 1. She has a positive attitude and her goal is to enable your child to be independent without a tutor by teaching them the necessary skills. I highly recommend her.

I can't tell you what it means to me to see my son come home after 1 lesson with a look of hope on his face!! Algebra 2 has been such a struggle. I only wish we had contacted Rita sooner. We tried having a student tutor and even had him going in to school early in the morning to work with his teacher. I'm anxious to see how he progresses for the rest of the year!! Thank you so much!!
