Robin
Helping to make math easy
I truly enjoy seeing those I teach "get it" and have that "ah ha" moment. A structural engineer by trade, I have to continually learn new things each and every day. It's my job! Math is my specialty of course, but I don't fit the mold as a typical engineer as I enjoy interacting with people too. Tutoring experience? Well...besides the hours on wyzant tutoring mostly algebra and trigonometry I have previously volunteered to teach at engineering outreach events at the Buffalo Museum of Sci...

I called Robin when one of my sons was almost failing his first year of high school math. My other son was doing OK but wanted to do better. Robin worked with both of them. They both have very different learning styles and abilities. She quickly adapted her teaching style to each of them to help them understand the math. Robin truly seems to enjoy math and has fun doing extra puzzles and fun thinking problems with the boys after their current homework is done. After two lessons my older son's test scores raised to a 75. After 3 lessons an 85 and his most recent test result was a 93! Amazing progress and he seems much less frustrated. My younger son could do a lot of the math problems in his head but he got points taken off for not showing his work. Robin made him slow down and explain the importance of showing his work. His grades have risen from the mid eighties to the mid nineties! I am so thankful that I found Robin when I did and am confident they can continue to excel with her help!

We worked on the beginning concepts of Trig and now I understand them. She was very patient and helpful. I highly recommend her to anyone taking Trigonometry!!

So far, after 1 session, we are pleased. Robin is knowledgeable in the math field and does have patience. My granddaughter likes her.
