I specialize in AP Calculus AB, Trigonometry, Algebra II, Geometry, Algebra I, Integrated Math I and II, and I have tutored or taught all levels of high school math. I have taught high school math for over ten years and have 15 years of experience as a math and science tutor.

I have taught AP Calculus AB, Trigonometry, Algebra 2, Geometry, Algebra 1, Integrated Math II, and Integrated Math I, as well as AP Computer Science Principles programming in Python. I have also tutored Pre-Calculus, Chemistry, and Physics. I have degrees in both mathematics and computer science.

I have been successful at raising students' grades in math. I'm able to explain concepts in multiple ways until students understand. It's important to me that students can do problems on their own after we've practiced some together. I am very structured and organized in my approach. Students have found it easy to follow my lessons. I assign homework when appropriate and expect practice problems to be completed outside of normal schoolwork.

I have great interactions with my students and I make math interesting. I am also very comfortable with administering lessons online and use a drawing tablet as a whiteboard.

I am also fully vaccinated and comfortable tutoring in person.

Please note that I require 24 hours notice for cancellations, otherwise full payment is required.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have taught high school math for ten years.
Calculus

Calculus

I have taught AP Calculus AB for 10 years and my students average scores were around 4.0 each year, well above the national average of 2.9. Calculus is my favorite subject to teach because it takes all the math learned up until now and gives it meaning.
Geometry

Geometry

I have taught honors and regular Geometry for 8 years. I know all of the formulas and when/how to use them effectively. I am able to describe Geometry in a visual and hands-on way that makes sense to students.
Algebra 2

Excellent and professional tutor

Janet B. is an experienced and professional math teacher. She has a very engaging style of teaching that works well for my daughter. She is also very efficient, knowledgeable, and the session write ups post the online class have been excellent. The progress my daughter has made while learning with her has been amazing. My daughter says she wished she had been tutoring her all along.

Very Knowledgable and patient tutor

Janet is helping our daughter with Precalculus Honors. She is very knowledgable and patient tutor and our daughter likes to attend her classes and has improved her skills in the subject.

Excellent!

Janet was able to engage my daughter, who had been resistant to tutoring. My daughter immediately liked her and with Janet's guidance got motivated in math again. Janet immediately recognized where she had gaps in her knowledge in high school match and helped her to catch-up. Janet kept her on track throughout the semester and was able to help her move from a failing grade to ultimately passing the class. We were so excited! Thank you, Janet.

Very helpful

Proofs were what my daughter was struggling with and Janet helped her understand better. She had a test today on what they went over in their session and told me it was easy! She's never said that about a Geometry test before!

Great teacher

Janet worked really hard to accomodate our daughter’s schedule. We were very impressed how organized she is as well as professional. She is very punctual and put our daughter at ease right away. We can’t wait for when she comes again. Our daughter was very happy with her lesson.

First time tutor

This was my first tutoring session with Wyzant and i was very pleased. Janet was very organized . She requested questions/concerns before the session and came prepared. She is very knowledgeable about Calculus.

Gifted teacher and tutor

Janet is an awesome teacher and tutor! She has helped my son in AP Calculus so much in just three sessions. She has many tips and teaching methods that have helped him understand and master his homework problems. She has even sent him extra practice problems to help him get better at the types of problems he finds most challenging. We are staying with Janet and will be loyal to the end. Thanks so much Janet! You rock! ❤️

She is very good at assessing where you are at and crafting a plan to develop your knowledge. She is also considerate of your time and the amount you are investing in learning.

Excellent geometry tutor

Janet tutored my 9th grader on geometry and he found her to be kind, patient, and very good at explaining difficult concepts. She designed a multi-week curriculum to help him learn concepts that were not covered last year due to changes made to the math class during the pandemic. She gave him homework for each lesson and reported on his progress after every class which was very helpful. We would definitely use her again if our son needed a little extra help during the year.

Gregory, 8 lessons with Janet

Professional and Effective Calculus Tutor

My son will be taking AP Calculus AB next school year and we have asked Janet to give him a preview of the course this summer. It's been a month and 7 lessons, and my son has made excellent progress. Janet is knowledgeable, effective and patient. Her lessons are engaging and my son feels comfortable asking Janet questions. Janet gives appropriate amount of homework, quizzes and unit tests. She is easy to work with and can make adjustments to the lessons or homework load based on feedback of the student/parents. Janet's summary after each class provides the parents an overview of what was covered in the class and addresses any areas of concern. Overall, we are very happy with Janet!
