Award winning tutor and certified math teacher: middle and high school, SAT and ACT prep.

Hello, my name is Flora. I am a certified teacher with a professional license for teaching 7-12 math. I am passionate about learning and helping others become successful with math. I truly enjoy working with students and have a patient, flexible tutoring style which is both encouraging and collaborative. I am a graduate of Strathclyde University and Business School in Scotland where I earned two master's degrees: Engineering with Math and Business. From my student days I was inspired to bring my love of math to young people and challenge them to reach new goals through tutoring. I have lived in Colorado for the past 25 years and after a successful business career it was time to return to my passion and my dream job of helping young people become self-confident and successful at math. For the past 7 years I've been teaching and tutoring math full-time. I am gratified when I hear from former students and parents that I have had a direct and long-lasting impact on their lives: students now set more ambitious goals, they learned how to work and succeed at something important to them, they made the transition from 'memorizing' math to 'understanding' math, they became confident at math, and one that makes my educator heart smile: they now love math! Lastly, I am honored to have been recognized by my students, parents and local education foundation as ECCA educator of the year 2019 and EC school district's educator of the month January 2021 for my engaging online teaching.

Thoughtful, thorough, and encouraging - a real gem!

For the past six weeks, Flora has been helping my daughter prep for SAT math. They begin around 5 on Tuesdays and I come home from work mid-way through the lessons. My daughter is always rapt at attention, following along, answering prompts and *looking* truly interested. The lessons are a good mix of Flora guiding and my daughter doing--and clearly learning. Also a good mix of "actual" math and SAT test-taking strategies, which we all known is an important skillset to have (like it or not!). My daughter has improved in terms of answers correct, but also in her outlook about math--and her confidence that she can improve her already strong score. The test is next Tuesday and I feel that with Flora's help, she is well prepared. Definitely worth the investment.

Efficient and on target

Worked together to prep for sat with real problems and support outside of the meeting time and extra practice. Quite helpful and reliable. Always shows up on time and is very good with planning future meetings

Great SAT Tutor!

We could not be more grateful for Flora’s prep time with our son. Her ability to respectfully engage and connect with a 17-year-old, especially over Zoom, was unbelievable. She challenged him and encouraged him as he prepped for his SAT retake. With her help and support, he achieved his goal and scored 50 points higher on his SATs. We couldn’t give her a higher recommendation.

Helpful SAT Math Tutor

Flora provided SAT Math tutoring for my child, and we were happy to have found her support. My child stated that the sessions were helpful and it got her ready for the upcoming SATs. Flora provided thorough explanation on how to solve the problems and provided test taking tips. She also gave us update/summaries of her progress after each session. She was easy to talk to and flexible. We would use her again, if needed!

Great teaching skills

Flora helped my daughter with ACT math. After she had already had tutoring from 2 other tutoring places and was not satisfied, we were lucky to find Flora. we just had a few weeks left, but Flora helped tremendously with the preparation. Flora is a very knowledgable and patient teacher.

A pro!

Since beginning lessons with Flora, my child has achieved honor roll for the first time ever! We’ve been through a few tutors and after each session, the comprehension was still lacking. With Flora, my daughter finally understands her math studies and is on a continued path to success!

Personalized lessons

Flora has been working with my daughter on test prep. She has made an effort to find her level and really help discover her weak areas. I can even say that my daughter enjoys her lessons with Flora!

Flora is an outstanding teacher and mentor. Engaged, kind, and with the best teaching skills anyone can wish for. I can only give my very best recommendations.

Ms Bell is amazing!

Ms Bell is a very experienced math teacher. She worked with my daughter and guided her along with several other students through an advaced math program with great results that allowed her to test out of her freshman and sophmore year of math. She is now working with my son on a similar program. I have the highest confidence in her abilities and both my children really enjoy learning from her. Ms Bell is very engaging and does a great job communicating her objectives to both students and parents. It's been a great experience!
