About Margaret

Bio

I specialize in helping students (and their parents) who struggle with math. With 25 years of teaching experience, I have developed a way of working with students that is both fun and effective. I am a credentialed teacher in the State of California and a former home school mom as well. So, I bring both a professional and a personal approach to my teaching.

I will work with students in the elementary grades, middle school, high school, and community college.

I will work with students in the elementary grades, middle school, high school, and community college.

-Does your younger student need to develop a strong math foundation which will help them to succeed later in school? We can cover difficult topics like word problems and Pre-Algebra.

-Does your teenager need to pass Algebra 1 or Geometry (or Integrated Math 1 and 2) to graduate from High School? I have many years of experience helping high school students "get" the concepts in Algebra 1 and Geometry.
-If you need help with basic math or Algebra at the Community College level, I can help you too.

I am also able to tutor in many of the other subjects for elementary through high school age students (see the list below of my approved subject areas). We can discuss your individual needs and how I might help.

Some discounts are available. Ask me for details when you contact me.

I do require 24 hours advance notice to cancel a session, otherwise you will be charged for the session even if we do not meet. If you give me adequate notice, we may be able to schedule a make-up session.

I love teaching and I love students. I would be honored to be able to help you or your child succeed in school.

Elementary (K-6th)

I hold a valid K-12 multi-subject teaching credential from the State of California. I taught at a K-8 independent study school for five years, where I assisted parents in composing lesson plans and creating interventions for their children. For the past 25 years, I have taught phonics, spelling and reading to many children ages 5 to 15 and trained teachers in the use of phonics in reading instruction.

For the past 25 years, I have taught phonics, spelling and reading to many children ages 5 to 15. Specifically, I have used "The Writing Road to Reading" curriculum to teach young children to read, and to correct difficulties in spelling and reading with older children and teens. I have also trained teachers in the use of intensive phonics in reading instruction.

Great tutor

She was patient and explained things thoroughly, and helped me get a better understanding of math. She taught me 2 chapters in an hour with what takes me 2 weeks in class.

Great Tutor

Margaret did a great job connecting with my son, assessing where he is at in math, giving him helpful instruction, and researching a book that will be beneficial to him.
