Kerrie
math and science from a professional academic scientist
I have always loved learning, and I want to share that experience with my students. After spending 16 years as a professional scientist in the field of medicine, I have decided to focus on helping my children and other students with their academic quest. I can take the pain out of learning new things, share my enthusiasm and make school interesting. I will teach you the academic discipline skills that will help you achieve your goals. I can even help you figure out what you really want....

I am older than the average college student and have been out of school for over fifteen years. I enrolled in a college Algebra II/ Pre-calculus and knew right away I needed help. I decided on Kerrie as my tutor and I have to say she was a wonder to work with. She truly wanted me to succeed and scheduled my tutor sessions any time. She was helpful, very informative and had unique techniques as to real life explanations reference to material. If I ever needed help again I would use Kerrie. Thank you Kerrie, it was a pleasure...
Tareq J. from Las Vegas, NV
My daughter has had highly beneficial results from working with Kerrie. She has gained confidence in physics and now continually gets high marks because of Kerrie's work. Not only is she a great teacher, but she also cares about her students. She puts in her best effort to make my daughter comfortable and is a very patient teacher.
Kim G. from Las Vegas, NV
Kerrie is very patient with my 16 year old daughter. My daughter struggles in chemistry and Kerrie is patient and makes her work through her own work without actually giving her the answers. Kerrie is easy to reach and responds right away.
Natashia V. from Las Vegas, NV
Kerrie has been a wonderful Pre-Calculus tutor for my son. She is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable on the subject. I appreciate that she is always responsive to texts or email and is genuinely interested in making sure that my son understands the material and is capable of performing the work not only during their sessions, but at school and when doing homework as well. She is also willing to help him with his ACT/SAT math questions. I would recommend Kerrie to and parent who has a child that is struggling in math.
Delia M. from Las Vegas, NV
We have had three lessons so far with Kerrie. She obviously is way over qualified to be helping my 10 year old. That said, she is very patient, easy to get along with and, more importantly, is liked by my daughter. We have already seen positive improvement and will continue to use her.
Steve P. from Las Vegas, NV
Kerrie helped our daughter improve her math score on her SAT by more than 50 points. Kerrie is very patient and provided a plan for taking the math portion of the test. She arrived on short notice and if we had worked with her longer I am sure the scores would have been even higher. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her services.
Alexis E. from Las Vegas, NV
Kerrie T. is an excellent tutor. My daughter was struggling with college algebra. Kerrie helped her understand it so it made sense to her! She was very thorough.
Ann G. from Las Vegas, NV
Kerrie is extremely reliable and professional. She is helping my son prepare for the ACT and is zeroing in on the skills and strategies necessary for him to increase his score. Great tutor!
Anne S. from Las Vegas, NV
Kerrie is an awesome tutor. She began tutoring my daughter in Geometry a month ago and she went from barely passing to getting a 96 on her last exam. When Kerrie first met with my daughter, she took the time to teach her basic concepts she wasn't grasping before moving forward with lessons she was doing in class. Kerrie is very patient and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her if your child is struggling in Math or Science or just needs some extra reinforcement.
Arjun A. from Las Vegas, NV
Kerrie is a great tutor! Prior to my experience with Kerrie I had a very negative disposition of my Pre-Calculus Class; yet, after Kerrie's tutoring, in which she showed the purpose of the topic at hand and filled in background information on the topic, I saw math in a new light. Additionally, Kerrie was able to make everything simple and easy to comprehend, especially the day before the test! Thank you Kerrie!
Max G. from Las Vegas, NV
Having had several sessions with Kerrie has been great. Over this summer, I have been studying for the GRE (Graduate Record Exam) as part of my ongoing graduate school admissions process. Worried that my long held fear of math would overtake me, I began seeking the assistance of many different tutors and math programs. However, after contacting and working through the math and verbal reasoning sections of my GRE review book, I must say that working with Kerrie has made me more confident about my own abilities in math and verbal reasoning. Kerrie is patient, kind, and explains everything very clearly, but also knows what to do when beginning a GRE review lesson. Would definitely recommend her!
Libby R. from Bossier City, LA
Ms. Kerrie really helped me understand the material I needed help with so much better! She made the material a lot easier to understand, and made sure I understood it before we moved to the next topic! Math is not my strongest subject and was able to finish the class with one of the highest grades in the class! She is very reliable, easy to reach by phone, and worked around my schedule even at short notice. I would recommend her to any one needing help in math!
Allison V. from Benton, LA
It was my goal to be able to increase my ACT score enough to apply for a scholarship to the college of my choice. We were limited by time constraints, but Ms. Kerrie made every effort to schedule tutoring sessions before my deadline. After meeting only 3 times, I was able to go into the ACT and improve on the areas that were keeping my score down. In the fall, I will be starting classes at the college of my choice on scholarship!
Vanessa C. from Shreveport, LA
Awesome Geometry tutor! Very patient and makes subject matter easier to understand. She is highly knowledgeable and her enthusiasm makes the subject less intimidating. I highly recommend her.
Catherine F. from Las Vegas, NV
Kerrie is very patient and will try to work step by step with you on your problems. However, to most who strive for an A in Organic Chemistry, it will not be possible with just a tutor's help, because an hour or two of one-on-one tutoring will not give you the practice you need for the tests. Organic Chemistry success is highly contingent on your teacher's penchant for putting tricky problems on the test, your coarse load, and your grit. In my experience, you need to practice the problems and learn the different angles you will be tested on. Most teachers/professors will lecture on the basics and test on the more challenging perspective of that concept. This is not a standard memorize the facts science course as most has lamented. I came out with a high B (missed the B+ by .02%) an A in lab due to a lot of time devoted to individual study. If you come with specific with questions and your notes, Kerrie will try to break it down. Sometimes, you try to break it down together. You will not feel alone with this hard subject if she is at your side.
Corinne J. from Las Vegas, NV
I needed help with the Math portion of my Praxis Test to get my teaching license. She was familiar with the test, was able to answer my questions and teach me the formulas I needed to learn to do the math equations. After our lesson she also suggested some web-sites to use, in order for me to practice what she had taught me. I would recommend her, she knows her Math, she was quick to respond and was easy to work with.
Anthony S. from Las Vegas, NV
I was having trouble with chemistry math and Kerrie was able to help me. I raised my grade up in chemistry a lot thanks to Kerrie.
Stacie T. from Las Vegas, NV
My Daughter Stephanie is trying to get her GED. Stephanie is very bad in Math. She met Kerrie and now has better understanding in Math. Kerrie gave her lot of tricks and shortcuts. Kerrie a great tutor. Stephanie very happy with her.
Amber M. from North Las Vegas, NV
Kerrie has been a super help. After my sessions with her I feel more confident in my math skills. I like the way she explains the material. I'm so glad I found her.
Chansik K. from Redondo Beach, CA
Dr. Kerrie has been teaching science classes for our homeschooled children ages 9-10. She came up with a new class format to cater to the needs of homeschooling kids by incorporating hands-on activities, visual aids, and homework for reviews and previews of the classes. So far, she's covered physics, chemistry and biology using topics such as Newton's Laws of Physics, Polarity and Solubility, and Animal and Plan Cells. It's been a great exposure to different areas of science for the kids, which I'm sure will last them a long time. So if you have specific needs for your students or even yourself, Dr. Kerrie will make sure to meet your needs and further your understanding of science. Highly recommended.
Loriel R. from Las Vegas, NV
I was at work when Kerrie aided my son in understanding geometry; other family members were present. He loves math but geometry confounds him. When I queried him in the evening, he stated that she really helped him and he wants to continue working with her. We are going to continue to use her.
Patricia D. from Las Vegas, NV
Kerrie is a patient tutor that is always ready to help. I sometimes have last minute math emergencies but Kerrie is always there to help me improve my math skills. I would definitely recommend this tutor to anyone in need of math help.
Marian A. from Las Vegas, NV
Kerrie did a wonderful job with my son. She helped him understand the material in Pre-Calculus that he was struggling with. He is a basketball player and she used that to reference and explain math. He walked out with a good understanding. We can't wait for our next lesson.
Molly M. from Las Vegas, NV
My daughter and I could not be happier than we are with Kerrie as my daughters tutor! Kerrie is always reliable, kind, patient, knowledgeable in a range of math. She helped my daughter pass her math profiency test and gave her confidence back in Algebra 2. She has been available at a days notice for last minute test that have come up, she's consistently worked with my daughters busy schedule. Kerrie always made my daughter feel comfortable , never made her feel bad for not understanding a concept. Kerrie knows how to talk with the student to find out just were the student is struggling then she explains the concepts in a way that can be understood! We would recommend Kerrie to anyone looking for a math tutor that is serious about making a difference! She is fantastic! Thank you Kerrie for all you have done for us!!
Jess M. from Las Vegas, NV
Kerrie taught us new games to utilize concepts we focused on in class. She was kind, patient and always understanding of the student's needs.
