I do virtual and in-person tutoring at my home in Cary (for vaccinated students able to be around cats). During the school year I am fully booked after school and weekends but have some openings Monday-Thursday during the day as noted. I have more than 20 years of professional experience tutoring students ages 8-80+. I have worked extensively with middle and high schoolers, college students, and returning adult students. I taught high school math (Intro to HS Math through Calculus...

Cynthia M. from Apex, NC

Beth is very good. She is very professional.


Margaret S. from Raleigh, NC

Beth was very patient, knowledgeable, on time, and easy to reach by phone or email. My daughter passed the test because of this tutoring sessions.


Jennifer G. from Raleigh, NC

Beth was very flexible with our scheduling needs and prompt to respond to my emails. She gave my daughter the confidence she needed to attack her calculus test head on. I plan to hire her for my son next year who will be in Honors Chemistry. Many Thanks!


Paige P. from Cary, NC

Beth does a great job identifying what the student needs and relays the information. A very good tutor with a pleasant attitude.


Amir K. from Morrisville, NC

I would like to thank Beth M. and also share with other parents who may be looking for good tutors in the area. In my opinion, she is one of the best tutors I have received through Wyzant for my kids. Her attitude, teaching style, connection/relationship with the student, clarity in communication and mastery of the subjects she is teaching is phenomenal. Ease of availability, always available to help, on time and ensure the time is spent in the most effective way. She also does a great job of keeping the parents in the loop to ensure she is meeting the child's needs. She is great and I would definitely recommend her for Algebra, Calculus, Chemistry & Spanish.


Shannon F. from Salisbury, NC

Beth is a fantastic tutor because she is very knowledgeable and so patient when you are confused or not sure what you are doing!! She has helped me through so many tough assignments and has made me feel much more confident in my math abilities and she has simplified many functions and applications for me.


Deb W. from Cary, NC

Beth has been a great resource for my daughter in helping her build her confidence and to help her prepare for midterms and lab preparation. My daughter needed that extra assistance in pulling the material together and Beth does a great job pointing out tips for her and helping build her confidence.


Thomas E. from Cary, NC

As a former high school math teacher, Beth has a great mastery of topics and has many tools to help you succeed auch as review packets, study guides, and even little songs and phrases to help you remember things. I am an adult student preparing for graduate school, and found that she was exactly what I needed in a tutor. She was very reliable and dependable - we regularly met as scheduled, and we made the most of our time together and didn't waste time with idle chat. I took my final yesterday and felt like I would never have been ready without the tutoring sessions we did together. She regularly helped me with crash courses in the topics I was studying, and really helped bridge the gaps in my coursework. Highly recommended!


Tony W. from Durham, NC

Excellent as usual. We solved a couple of problems set out for the HP12C financial calculator, including one that involved converting between monthly and daily compounding of interest, and we worked on "goal-seeking" in the what-if analysis tab, and Beth showed me how to build a macro. A very satisfying tutorial.


Jenny F. from Cary, NC

My family could not be more pleased with Beth's services. She jumped right in to accommodate our urgent need when my son missed so much calculus that he could not catch up own his own and started to fail quizzes. In short order she turned everything around and he got all answers correct. My son, who has ADHD, liked the way she paced the instruction by breaking it up with 20 minute exercises. He stated that if he had had her services all along he's sure he would have made an A in AP calc instead of a B. We will definitely seek her out for AP statistics next year!


Noru A. from Raleigh, NC

Beth was great! She's easy to get in touch with, helpful and very patient. I couldn't ask for a better tutor to help me boost my GRE scores! My scores went up and I got into grad school!


Srijib M. from Apex, NC

One of the best instructors out there. Beth's patience with teenage kids is so reassuring. Her knowledge of math and the sciences is truly outstanding. She is one of the best tutors out there and I am so glad that she is teaching our children for over 3 years now!


Louise R. from Cary, NC

Beth helped my daughter work her way to an A in math -- first time ever! She is patient and insightful. She is also very flexible and willing to come and help when needed. I hightly recommend her.


Leslye M. from Cary, NC

Beth, has been great for my son in tutoring math. He feels very comfortable with her. She also tutors Spanish and other subjects. Beth is an excellent communicator and has been so reliable. Thank you!


Bill S. from Cary, NC

Beth has been tutoring our daughter for almost a year now. She helped with math last year and now high school chemistry this year. She teaches by explaining how to approach problems and thinking through the concepts. She has had a big impact on our daughter's grades and is always flexible in scheduling sessions.


Jared G. from Apex, NC

So far, we have used Beth to tutor Physics and Chemistry and we have been pleased with everything she has done. The son getting tutored in Physics pulled out an "A" at the end of the semester and he was thrilled. Beth really helped him understand and retain the material. She has started tutoring another son in Chemistry. He was getting mediocre grades. After just one session with Beth he got a "100" on a test. He couldn't believe it. We think Beth is the best tutor around. Also, Beth tries to work with our schedule as best as she possibly can. Sometimes we call her pretty last minute and she always figures out a way to see us.


Dragana P. from Morrisville, NC

Beth is amazing. The best thing about her is that she is very patient. It's been 3 classes only but I can say she is an amazing tutor and patient which is what I need most.


Sandra B. from Apex, NC

I highly recommend Beth. She has helped my son to achieve better results in his math class. Beth is well knowledge on the subject, has the patience to teach and always there for a tutor session on short notice. Since Beth started working with my son his grades had gone up significantly. Beth, just want you to know how much we appreciate everything you've done for him; you've been a tremendous help!


Tammy J. from Holly Springs, NC

Beth is very encouraging and patient with my daughter working hard on the things that are difficult for her. She has requested some additional tutoring time with my student which I think is a great idea to prepare her for her upcoming SAT.


Karen G. from Apex, NC

Beth is an outstanding tutor. My son was struggling in Honors Chemistry and Honors Algebra II. Beth's knowledge and patient instruction made all of the difference. I highly recommend her!


Bob K. from Raleigh, NC

I'm the father of a 17 year old daughter who recently completed two years of weekly AP Calculus (a/b and b/c) tutoring from Beth M. Simply put, Beth is a wonderful math tutor. She can explain complex concepts clearly, and was quite willing to work with us to do whatever it took to get our daughter through AP Calculus. She always came prepared, knew the material, and was able to help explain calculus in ways that helped our daughter "get it." Most impressive was Beth's commitment to our daughter and willingness to meet for longer sessions, or more frequently when it was needed. She was always kind, professional, and an experienced teacher. Beth also has a nice sense of humor, and an ability to relate easily and comfortably with both teens and parents. We had tried a couple of other calculus tutors prior to Beth, and while those tutors were helpful, none were as capable and knowledgeable as Beth, and none were as committed to our daughter's success. Beth is not the least expensive tutor you will find, but she will provide you the greatest value - especially if you or your child needs tutoring in a challenging subject like calculus. With her assistance, our daughter did very well in calculus, and she will be attending UNC Chapel Hill this fall - thanks largely to the wonderful help she received from Beth.


Jenny F. from Raleigh, NC

Beth was able to bring the best out of our son. Her professional, calm, yet friendly manner was ideal to keep him engaged and interested. We were also so very impressed that even after we completed the tutoring and left the USA, she continued to support us via email. Thanks Beth, we really appreciate your help.


Tiersa T. from Apex, NC

Beth has been working with my 2 high school age daughters over the last 3 weeks. Between the two of them she has helped with AP Stats, Chemistry, Algebra 2 and SAT prep. Both of the girls have felt the sessions have really helped their understanding of the material. I really appreciate Beth's flexibility. We had to change a session unexpectedly and she was so nice to work us in later in the week. Highly recommend.


Malee K. from Spring Lake, NC

Beth is a very good tutor. My son is very comfortable with her. She tutors him in Algebra II, Honors Spanish, English III,and will be preparing him for the PSAT, SAT/ACT exams. She works with your schedule and will help out any way she can with the tutoring schedule. She is very proficient in many subjects.


Margarita C. from Cary, NC

We cannot say enough great things about Beth. My daughter suffered a concussion and was extremely behind in her schoolwork. She was still trying to make up quizzes and tests from the previous semester. We hired Beth for Chemistry. She made my daughter feel at ease right from the start. This is very difficult with my daughter cause she is extremely shy with strangers. Because of Beth's calm demeanor and her obvious knowledge of the subject, the sessions went smoothly and my daughter learned what she needed to learn. She feels confident in what she has learned and will be taking all the tests that she has missed. Beth is extremely professional and responds to emails and texts very timely. We will continue to use her if we need her for other subjects. I have recommended her to other friends which I would never do unless I really had confidence in her.


Kris B. from Cary, NC

Beth was so helpful to me! She was always exactly on time and was able to help with whatever I needed. She absolutely went out of her way to make sure I had the information/help that I needed. I would HIGHLY recommend her!


Phoebe T. from Raleigh, NC

She taught me things that I had not yet gone over in class, and so I followed along better during that class, already understanding what was happening.


Kim H. from Holly Springs, NC

We have used Beth two courses now and absolutely love her. She has tutored my son in both Chemistry and Honors Pre-Calc. She is very patient with him and super flexible when he was needing last minute help for tests. I highly recommend her.


Jackie H. from Cary, NC

I contacted Beth halfway through the first quarter of 9th grade when our son had a solid F in Spanish II and it was clear he was not going to recover on his own. Beth quickly squeezed him in her schedule, assessed where he was, recommended smart-phone apps to help him study and organize, reviewed his notebook and other materials, and also recommended other resources to help him practice. She met with our son slightly more than once per week, and she always used the time efficiently. Our son was comfortable relating to her (she had enough social exchanges to make him feel comfortable), but she was great about focusing the time on academics. At the end of the first quarter, our son had brought his grade up to a C. At the end of the course (it was semester-long), our son had earned a B! Without a doubt, our son worked hard to earn the improved grade, and his teacher was helpful. But even if our son had worked 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, he could not have had this success without Beth!!! On top of all this, Beth was always extremely professional, prompt, and caring. We were fortunate to find her!


Sherri J. from Cary, NC

Beth did a phenomenal job tutoring my son in Pre-Calculus. She was very professional, forthright and candid in her assessment of his abilities and thus never tried to "nickel and dime" me by offering her services when my son was not ready to do his part to insure success. My son even commented on her abilities as a tutor to help him understand the subject. My son was initially failing the course but with Beth's help, he scored a 98% on the final exam...even his teacher was impressed! This boosted his confidence through the roof! We plan to utilize her services again in the very near future.


Ashlea Y. from Apex, NC

We have used Beth's tutoring to review (learn) common core 2 last summer after a not so stellar attempt in school. My son then moved on to common core 3 and took it the whole school year. Beth continued tutoring throughout the school year and he has maintained an A average all year. My son states that she is excellent in putting math in terms he understands. She will now be helping him with SAT prep. She is always prompt and gives him her full attention for each session. I would highly recommend her.


Katrina T. from Cary, NC

I had Beth for physics tutoring. She was very helpful and easy to talk to. She explained things very well. I got an A in my physics class!


Betsy H. from Raleigh, NC

Beth is a fantastic Calculus tutor. She thoroughly understands the subject and she does a super job communicating in a way that is easy to understand.


Addison P. from Cary, NC

Beth provided tutoring for Pre-Calculus. She is extremely knowledgeable and does an excellent job of simplifying concepts. She was able to connect the dots for me around areas where there were gaps. I would highly recommend Beth for tutoring.


Kylie G. from Raleigh, NC

Beth is great! Efficient, thorough and knowledgeable-- works at my pace and is patient when I'm struggling! I would recommend her for all ages and levels of both math and English.


James X. from Cary, NC

Beth is helping my 10th grader and 8th Grader with Math and Spanish. She has helped both of them maintain an A. She is a skilled tutor. She is organized and punctual. I highly recommend Ms. Beth.


Dharmesh P. from Apex, NC

Beth has been an excellent resource for us with our high school student who is now in 11th grade. Beth has a broad base of knowledge in math, science and English. She has helped our child prepare for standardized exams as well. I would strongly recommend Beth to anyone who wants their student to improve both in school or general study habits.


John H. from Raleigh, NC

Beth is an awesome and reliable tutor who is always on time and always helpful! In the past, I have gotten B's in all of my math classes, but I am now on track for two years of A's. She has done wonders for my math skills.


Suzanne J. from Cary, NC

Beth has been tutoring my daughter for the last 2 1/2 years. Was skeptical and scared honestly at first about using WyzAnt as I had never used an online tutoring service ever!! It was truly the best thing I ever did. Beth is very professional and gets right to work as soon as she arrives. She really wastes no time at all making sure my daughter learns everything she has to. Beth is extremely smart, seems to know everything about everything (and if she did not know something, she is always honest about it, but was always able to figure it out way sooner than I would have!!!) and therefore has been able to help my daughter across many subjects while keeping her focused and calm. She was priceless through Chemistry, Algebra II and English, and has always been very patient with my daughter. Although Beth is extremely busy (because she is so good) she has always made every effort to help us out when we were absolutely desperate for help (last minute test etc). Without hesitation, I highly recommend Beth for your tutoring needs in any of the subjects she has posted!!


Ziya G. from Raleigh, NC

Beth tutored my daughter first time today and my daughter was very happy and very impressed how clear she made all problems they worked on.


Seema K. from Cary, NC

I suggested to Beth that perhaps giving my daughter a few homework/practice problems to do rather than letting her practice as many as she could might work better. Beth immediately considered that approach and implemented it. Thanks Beth


Max M. from Apex, NC

I am not comfortable with any form of math! She hasaid showed me a lot of tips and tricks that make it click in my head and she is happy to help me with whatever subject I am having troubles. Best tutor I have had


Trevor M. from Raleigh, NC

Beth explained things in a way I understood. I did amazing on my test and will definitely use her again in the future!
