Terese

Math guru...taking the stress out of math one session at a time

At this point, due to rising cases of the virus, I am only accepting students online. I have a couple of random evening times for ‘math emergencies.’ I have morning and early afternoon times. Due to the time difference, this works very well for East Coast students online. A bit about me... I didn't start out with the thought of being a teacher. I followed my heart...my passion for math. I have a Master of Science in Teaching Mathematics and I emphasize the teaching. I have been teach...

When she comes to my house, we get right to the problems that I need help with. By the time she leaves, I feel more confident with upcoming tests.


Mark L. from Portland, OR

Like all other reviews, I can only verify that Terese is not only smart, energetic, and engaging but MOST importantly she connects with her students allowing them to move beyond the learned process to become more confident boosting ones self-confidence and self-esteem. Hat off to you, Terese!


Pardis M. from Portland, OR

Terese is a wonderful tutor! She is high energy and knows her stuff. She immediately diffuses any negative perceptions of working with a tutor and makes learning math achievable and fun. After a 1 1/2 hour session of math (on a Friday night) my son had a smile on his face, which is quite the accomplishment! I feel very fortunate to have found you to help my son with Algebra I. I can't wait to watch him grow and build his confidence in math with your help. Thank you, Terese! UPDATE ON THIS REVIEW: After just two sessions with Terese, my son went from getting D's on his math tests to getting a B! She is just AMAZING!


Heidi M. from Portland, OR

Terese loves math as much as I love chocolate, and it's rubbing off on my daughter. Just today we received a note from her teacher who wanted to express her excitement that my daughter's attitude in math class (after only two tutoring sessions) has already shifted from fearful and shut down to curious and willing to take risks. I can't recommend Terese enough. She even has me thinking differently about math, and that's a miracle in and of itself!

We hired Terese during the summer to "fill in the gaps" in our 15 year old son's knowledge of Algebra 1, which he took last year, and to introduce geometry to him to prepare him for next year. We researched a ton of tutors on WyzAnt and had tried a tutor before. We found our son was not understanding him well, so we tried Terese. In our son's words, she goes at a perfect pace, he can follow everything she is teaching him, and she explains things very clearly. She also makes the lessons fun and gives him practical tips that really help. From our perspective, Terese is very responsive, flexible, prompt, and professional. Plus, as a mom herself, she gets boys - a bonus! We will continue using her throughout the summer and would highly recommend her.


Gloria I. from Clackamas, OR

Terese was right on time and very professional. Easy to reach and very quick to respond to our request, she was also extremely patient and engaging while explaining the calculus our daughter had been struggling with. At the end of the 90 minute session, our daughter was actually smiling about calculus and feeling much more confident! Thank you for such a talented, kind, and patient tutor!!


Donna K. from Sherwood, OR

Terese helped my son through a very hard part of his calculus class. She did a fine job. If he runs into more problems, I would use her again.


Bridget H. from Beaverton, OR

This was my daughter'a first time using a tutor and she said she was great to work with. She knew when to lead to and answer and when to just provide the solution. Reading the student to provide what they need when they need it is important.


Jennifer L. from Portland, OR

Terese went above and beyond to find textbooks that will be used at my daughter's high school to help her get ready for the transition. She has worked with both of my daughters and demonstrated great ability to adapt to their different learning styles. Highly recommended!


Alex T. from Tualatin, OR

Terese has done a great job helping my son get his confidence back with Algebra II after a couple of tough grades. She is willing to work with your schedule and help with homework, after-test review and worksheets. Very patient and I would highly recommend her.


Lamar W. from Portland, OR

Therese is extremely helpful with explaining why we use equations and how they work, as well as making them more accessible with using tangible examples like soda cans or pieces of pizza. She is friendly and easy to talk to and stays on track. Would definitely recommend.


Anne M. from Portland, OR

Oliver says that his time with Therese was well spent and that he felt much more ready for the Algebra final.


Shawn M. from Portland, OR

My daughter is very excited about learning with Terese. Her initial approach is encouraging and has raised her expectations that she can learn. A great first session.


Claire M. from Portland, OR

Terese has been great, helping my daughter stay on task to finish her online algebra, and keeping her calm as well as building her confidence. Thank you Terese.


Mandi T. from Portland, OR

My daughter is always so relaxed for her test after a lesson with Terese. She knows if she has any last minute questions she can count on her through text messages!


Dawn C. from Portland, OR

My daughter loves working with Terese. She can definitely explain things clearly and significantly helps understanding and test scores.


Pam O. from Gladstone, OR

My Daughter has had one session with Terese and the light bulb is shining bright. Terese was patient and explained Geometry to my daughter in ways that she could understand. I believe Terese set my daughter up for success! I would highly recommend Terese for any math tutoring.


Tara M. from Portland, OR

Terese was very help in preparing me for my algebra, within three session she was able to help me with topics covered over an entire term.


Anna L. from Portland, OR

Terese came to help my daughter with a couple of emergency sessions as she was preparing for her precalculus final. Terese understood where my daughter was struggling and carefully helped her walk through the concepts that were confusing to her, checking to make sure that my daughter was really getting it and not just saying she was getting it. I highly recommend Terese!


Lori F. from Portland, OR

Terese is one of the best tutors--by far--that we have ever encountered. From the parent's perspective, she is easy to communicate with, organized and has a very pleasant, positive demeanor and disposition. My daughter says she explains the concepts very well and enjoys working with her. My daughter believes it is especially helpful that Terese shares her personal math notes and offers to have my daughter call if she is having trouble with something. Terese is awesome and we look forward to her visits. We could not be happier!


Erick O. from Cameron, NC

She is good at what she do. I have no words to better say it . I recommend anybody who needs help with Math be it online or face to face to contact her. You're the best Ma'am .


Betsy H. from Portland, OR

Our daughter had a smile on her face when Teresa left. Later said she thought she did well on her test. Huge relief to us and our daughter.
