Marga W, Ph.D., Math Tutor for High School Students
My choice in becoming a tutor comes from a lifelong love of learning and teaching, particularly in the math and science areas. I have a decade of experience in biotechnology and laboratory management. I trained scores of entry level technicians to understand and perform highly technical processes, and nurses and genetic counselors to better communicate the results of genetic testing to their patients. During my years in this industry I always found myself naturally gravitating toward the edu...

I think that Pre-algebra is very important for developing a strong foundation to excel in the higher levels of math (Algebra, Geometry, and Calculus). I will make sure my students fully understand the Pre-algebra concepts that are often considered difficult, such as the difference between proportional and linear relationships. My style of teaching math is to take a difficult problem and show my student how to deconstruct it into smaller, easy-to-understand concepts. Once a student learns how to approach problems this way, he/she will gain the confidence to tackle even the toughest problems and have fun doing it!

My daughter had many tutors over the last few years and none have even come close to Marga. She knows my child is a visual learner and teaches her in a way my daughter can understand. Her grade significantly improved and I am so grateful to have found Marga! To see the confidence my daughter now has not only in math but in general is amazing.

What can I say-but Marga has been an amazing asset for our family!!! We started looking for a tutor for our senior, who was struggling with Algebra 2, as we wanted to ensure she graduated on time. We found Marga through WyzAnt and our experience has been amazing!! Marga has worked with our daughter for the last several months and with her assistance, my daughter has not only passed her Algebra 2, but has passed with an A. And more importantly, will be graduating on time. Marga exhibits consistency, patience, excellent communication skills, as well as being very personable. She has instilled confidence in my daughter that has not only impacted her math grade, but her other grades as well. My daughter is very proud of her accomplishments, an emotion that she doesn't always feel. Hands down, would recommend Marga to anyone in need of assistance in the math discipline. I can't thank her enough for the work she has done with our daughter.

So thankful to Marga. She found out what my daughter needed and responded with simple to learn methodology with many examples. Now she feels confidant and is hungry for more.
