Bio

I have a BA in Applied Mathematics from the University of California, San Diego. For 16 years, I worked as an instructional aide in the Special Education/Resource department of a local elementary school, helping students who struggled with mathematics. I have a lot of patience with children, and always give positive reinforcement to my students.

I have a BA in Applied Mathematics from the University of California, San Diego. For 16 years, I worked as an instructional aide in the Special Education/Resource department of a local elementary school, helping students who struggled with mathematics. I have a lot of patience with children, and always give positive reinforcement to my students. I have worked with Common Core at the elementary level and am able to help my students understand this process.
I am also very knowledgeable of Algebra and Geometry and tutor older students as well. I love working with children of all ages and am eager to share my love of math with them all. I actually had one of my students say to me, "Miss Rebecca, I love math!" It was so rewarding to see his huge smile and the self-confidence he had gained.
Through my love of math and instructional aide experience, I am able to work with students at their levels. I enjoy helping them gain confidence in their skills. Using Common Core, we will use models, as well as algorithms, to solve many of the math problems. I always try to ensure that my students have a good understanding of math fundamentals, which I feel is necessary for future math success.

Knowledgeable Tutor & Wonderful Teacher

There is no better night's rest for a parent than to know their child feels confident and competent in their own abilities! We're super happy with our son's input on what, and how much he learned today. Here's to looking forward to future sessions and further growth with Ms. Rebecca.👍

Thank you so much! I am so happy to hear that your son was happy with our session today. He is a great student and really eager to learn. I am so excited to be able to work with him again.

Caring and Knowledgable Tutor

Our son started working with Miss Rebecca towards the end of 4th grade when he started having some trouble in math. She is incredibly patient and makes learning math fun and engaging. We've seen our son's confidence grow, grades improve and math has become a subject he enjoys! Miss Rebecca is a a wonderful partner in the process, she helps to identify areas that need work while implementing homework and teacher's practice tests into the sessions. We look forward to continue working with with her and we're excited that our 2nd grader has just started with her as well!

So supportive - great first session

Rebecca did a great job finding an introductory point to work with my daughter, and to be kind and supportive dealing with her (my daughter was sick on top of everything).
