prealgebra
I did well in algebra, geometry, and trigonometry in high school and Calculus I in college. I studied and used statistics in my doctoral program and wrote a dissertation for my Ph.D. that involved statistical analysis. I would like to make sure students have the math sense and other pre-requisite skills that prepare them for higher level math, including algebra, geometry, and data analysis.

Izabela J. from Ypsilanti, MI
I have been working with Elizabeth M. for nearly eight months. When I met with her for the very first time, I knew she is facing a tough case… I have been living in this country for 18 years, but until our very first lesson, I have never received any formal English training. I would say that I had, and still have, lots of “blank spots†in my understanding of English grammar. But Elizabeth slowly guides me through this process and fills in my “blank spotsâ€. Every lesson with her flys by so quickly, because she touches on lots of different things, such as: pronunciation, grammar exercises, writing, and reading. She also does lots of proof reading of the articles that I write for my work; for that I am so very grateful. And above all, she is a very sweet and gentle person. She always listens to my concerns and helps me the best she can.

Very prepared to answer all my questions, correct my pronunciations, and offer me better choice of words in a very gentle and polite manner. She is a very professional teacher.
Julia S. from Ann Arbor, MI
We worked on the writing section of the SAT. I felt comfortable asking her questions which she was able to answer for me.
