My emphasis is on student understanding as opposed to memorization. Over the years I've used many different strategies and techniques and I have a good sense of how to reach a variety students by tapping into individual learning styles. Many of my former students say that my approach, which emphasizes visual learning and use of physical models, has enabled them to do well in geometry and other abstract math courses The fact that many of my students have gone on to become excellent HS...

Best Teacher I've ever had! Patient, knowledgeable and eager to help!
Gwen began my lesson with a thorough diagnostic assessment of my background and understanding of previous math courses. She pin-pointed exactly which topics I needed to review. She presented material clearly and used several different ways to get at topics I'd never conquered before (such as logs and exponentials). I appreciated that she made sure I was ready to move on to new topics BEFORE helping me with my current assignment in Pre-Calculus. She is reliable and stayed past our hour to make sure I really "got" it. In addition, she makes herself available (she encouraged be text or call) if I needed help before our next scheduled lesson. I highly recommend her! She has expertise in courses below AND above Calculus!

Very knowledgeable and patient tutor
Gwen tutors my son with geometry. Gwen is a great tutor with a lot of knowledge and experience. My son likes the way she explains the problems to him. She uses examples that he can relate to and makes sure that he understands the material. His grade has improved since she started tutoring him.

Knowledgable, patient, professional, far exceeding my expectations.
Gwen was utterly marvelous with connecting with my child. My daughter didn't want the session to end! What more could I ask for? Gwen was creative, knowledgeable, professional, all while being fun and very engaging. I really appreciate her experience, care, and sensitivity in knowing just how to approach my child. We're grateful to have her!

Knowedgeable and patient tutor
It was my daughter's first session with Gwen and she made her feel so comfortable while making the experience as enjoyable as she did productive.

Great teacher!
I hired Gwen to engage with my daughter in math in other more interesting ways and she completely accomplished that! My daughter looks forward to her lesson every Sunday and is super excited about new approaches to math and learning! Thank you Gwen!

In-depth and Personable
Gwen is a truly gifted educator! She is wonderful at engaging and piquing my daughter's curiosity that goes far beyond a worksheet. She enriches the subject matter with hands-on experiences, multi-media, stories, and physical manipulatives. My daughter beams with joy after each lesson and is so eager to share what she has learned.

Very experienced and charismatic Math teacher that is passionate about her subject!
We have a 7-year old that is being homeschooled. We have decided that we wanted to focus his immediate academic advancement on Reading Comprehension, Math and Science, but in a manner that would leverage his learning style. We are consequently in need of teachers that know and understand their subjects, students as learners and varied pedagogical strategies. In the case of Math, we could have not wished for someone better than Gwen, as she fits the profile to a T. Our son has so far very much enjoyed her and is looking forward to her continued teaching. We highly recommend her to anyone who wants a teacher that is serious about Math but also knows how to make even an elephant learn it.

Wonderful Experience
Gwen was a wonderful communicator and very helpful. When my son struggled a bit after their last session, Gwen owned the fact that the session was a bit more unfocused than she felt comfortable with and gave us a discount. Gwen is a pro.

Amazing, Patient and Kind Tutor
Gwen is an exceptional tutor. My daughter bonded with her instantly. She brought back my daughter's love for math. She was becoming disinterested and bored. I now see that light go off and the twinkle in her eyes again. She looks forward to her sessions with Gwen. Gwen gets 5 stars from me. Signed: A mother in which math was not my strongest subject.
