Louise V.

I have been teaching math since 1983 at both the high school and college levels. After I got my MBA, I started teaching business courses such as accounting, finance, and economics at a community college, but math and statistics are my favorites. Most of the students I work with are at the high school level or above, and many are enrolled in online courses for which there is little instructor-led support. I also do test prep for ACT and SAT.

I am available evenings and weekends and am flexible as to location. I will tutor in your home or in the local Borders, Starbucks, or library if it suits your needs. I travel with a laptop, so computer applications such as Excel, Word, SPSS and Access are also a possibility.

Business

I earned my MBA back in 1982. Since then I have taught all kinds of business courses, mostly at the community college level. These include business, economics, accounting, and finance.

Currently, my job title is "statistician," but most of the work I do as part of the Finance... Read More

Microsoft Access

I have been using Access since 2000. Access is essential when accommodating the demands of the large healthcare organization for which I work. I have also used Access to generate the stats for the articles I publish in professional journals, the most recent of which examined the birth outcomes of Medicaid and CHIP women.

I can design Access tables, queries, and reports; create complex criteria statements employing algebraic or logical statements; and import or export data from Access... Read More

TAKS

I have worked with students in the past who have failed the test and achieved better than average results. My most recent student, who I started tutoring in math when she was a HS sophomore, had failed the TAKS the year before but after weekly tutoring she passed the 10th grade TAKS and later the exit TAKS easily.

Another student I worked with starting in 6th grade did very well on her standardized tests which gained her admission to LSU. I am still working with her - she will graduate... Read More

Education

Tulane University Loyola University (MBA)

Great tutor, and easy to reach by phone! — Tutor Louise's communication skills were very professional. She takes pride in being punctual, and is very familiar with my present academics. I believe she was "God" sent to me. I needed someone who would be patient with me, when explaining how to do my assignments. I would recommend this company to others. Thank you so much!
