I have tutored for 17 years, which includes the 11 years that I home schooled my two sons. I absolutely love math, and thoroughly enjoy tutoring the subject. Mathematics is a subject that many people need help with, because it is so different from other subjects, and is very abstract. With more explanation, and practical examples it can be understood far more clearly. In my experience many people don't understand math, because of the way they were taught. Being taught inadequately, leads to a loss of confidence, which really hampers understanding. In addition, math builds on itself constantly; so if you don't understand or miss a step along the way, it will affect your future understanding. For these reasons I have two primary objectives in tutoring math. Firstly, I will do my best to find any topics which the student is lacking, and fill in the gaps. The second is to increase their confidence, by giving them the tools to improve their understanding. It is so wonderful to observe the student understanding and increasing in confidence.

My tutoring method is to lead the student down the correct path, without doing the work for him. For example, I might ask a question which would lead him to the answer. If that is not sufficiently effective, then I will ask another question which may help in a different manner. I have found this to be a very successful strategy, because the student figures the answers out for himself. In addition, it is the best approach to use to enable him to learn and establish his confidence in the subject.

I majored in math in high school, which included studying it to the level of calculus. I furthered my math knowledge at university, where I completed a year of Pure Mathematics. I have taught math from Kindergarten (arithmetic) through high school, and at the college level. Teaching is very rewarding, and if you combine that with math, I am a very happy tutor. I enjoy spending time with my students, and building a good tutor / student relationship with them. My approach is friendly, kin

Rebekah, 5 lessons with Sue

Patient and Knowledgeable

Sue went over the problems I had trouble with on my homework and reviewed with me to see where I was in math and if I was behind. She was very patient with me, and I'm the kind of student that needs a lot of revision and practice. She made math seem simple and made intruction very clear.
