Bio

I earned a Master's degree in Mathematics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York and have taught and tutored mathematics for over twenty years. I have taught middle school and high school students at a private college-preparatory K-12 school, as well as undergraduate students at 2-year and 4-year colleges. I enjoy working with students of all ages and have taught students as young as 7th grade, and all the way up through adults returning to the classroom. I have taught in a...

I earned a Master's degree in Mathematics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York and have taught and tutored mathematics for over twenty years. I have taught middle school and high school students at a private college-preparatory K-12 school, as well as undergraduate students at 2-year and 4-year colleges. I enjoy working with students of all ages and have taught students as young as 7th grade, and all the way up through adults returning to the classroom. I have taught in a classroom setting and tutored one-on-one all math classes from Pre-Algebra through AP Calculus as well as Discrete and Finite Mathematics.

The students I have taught, tutored, and advised have had a wide range of abilities and math backgrounds. For example, I have taught Algebra to students at grade level, Geometry to students two years ahead of grade level, AP Calculus students, and a math course designed specifically for political science majors. I have incorporated various online tools, such as Desmos, Geogebra, Edpuzzle, and IXL into my lessons. These tools have been instrumental in helping my students master basic skills while helping me, as their teacher and tutor, understand where each student is in their understanding of the concepts so that I could meet them at their level. With my educational background, classroom teaching experience, and one-on-one tutoring experience I would feel comfortable tutoring any math class from Prealgebra through AP Calculus.

Algebra 1

As a classroom teacher at an independent college-prep school I taught Algebra 1 to students in 7th grade through 9th grade. As a teacher and tutor, I have worked with Algebra 1 students in honors and accelerated classes, as well as students that are working to gain math confidence. I have incorporated online platforms such as Desmos (calculator & activities), Khan Academy, IXL and Edpuzzle into my lessons. These tools help me to structure tutoring sessions that meet the individual needs of each of students..

Very patient and kind!

Courtney is excellent at reviewing the basics to then step up to the more advanced problems my daughter is working on in her homework. My daughter actually enjoys the tutoring sessions because she is learning so much.

She Helped My Son See His Own Potential

After my son's first lesson, he told me, "Mom, I actually know more than I thought I did." Courtney took the time to understand what he knows and what he’s still learning. She offered helpful feedback, suggestions, and tips that really resonated with him. By the end of the session, he felt successful and motivated to continue. This speaks to Courtney’s ability to truly listen, adapt, and guide. She’s more than a tutor—she’s a coach who brings out the best in her students.

Super helpful

Excellent tutor. Professional, responsible and very thorough. We will definitely continue to request Courtney for high school geometry help this year.
