Approved Subjects

ACT Math

ACT Math

Lisa has a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering and a master's degree in mathematics. She used both of those degrees in various industrial, research, and teaching environments over the years. She is a quality professional, holding five American Society for Quality Certifications including as a Six Sigma Black Belt. She has taught mathematics in an industrial environment to hundreds of people over the years, including the basic problem solving course used by the North American freight rail industry over the past 5 years. Lisa is a kind and patient teacher. She works well with students from high school through PhD research projects. She will not only focus on the math but she will also talk about test taking strategies that are sure to raise your ACT Math score!
Algebra 1

Algebra 1

Algebra is the basis for any higher level math class. I have a Masters in Mathematics, so I am well versed in using Algebra in the theoretical world. As a technical business person with an undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering, I used algebra in everyday business settings including product design, quality assurance, strategic planning and business statistics on a routine basis. I know I can help you understand Algebra, because I understand it - both in theory and in practice!
Finite Math

Finite Math

Finite Math generally includes the following subjects: set operations, Venn Diagrams, probability, permutations and combinations, matrices, solving systems of equations, linear programming and mathematics of finance. My Master's degree in mathematics included the study of all of these areas in the theory of Mathematics classes that I took as part of the MS degree. I specifically took an undergraduate class in matrix algebra, and two masters classes in general linear models that used matrix algebra as the basis for the class. My undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering included a semester of economics - using all of the equations presented in a business finance class. In addition, as the former President of a $70 million research firm, I understand the equations used in the mathematics of finance. I have successfully taught students using other tutoring platforms in finite mathematics, achieving ratings of 5 out of 5 for my work. In fact, I am currently engaged as a finite mathematics tutor for a college senior who is taking the course. I have Certifications from the American Society for Quality in Quality Engineering and Quality Management that also included some of these subjects.
GED

GED

I have been in the work world for a long time as a technical employee and a manager. I know how important having a GED is for the work place - many jobs won't even let you apply unless you have a high school diploma or a GED! I can help you prepare for the test by showing you how each of these areas, especially the math portion, can be used in real life to help you achieve your goals.
Microsoft Excel

Microsoft Excel

Lisa has many years of experience using Microsoft Excel in technical environments, including manufacturing, quality assurance, strategic business planning, and research. She knows that the Microsoft Excel platform generally has multiple ways of performing the same function. In addition, Lisa "excels" in teaching by using simple words and multiple examples. She loves answering questions - they show an engaged and involved student. She hopes to help you become comfortable using the Microsoft Excel platform.

Lisa has prepared hundreds of PowerPoint technical presentations over the years. She created them for supervisors as a working mechanical engineer, and then for herself as a manager and executive. Must recently, she was hired by a large Chicago-based firm to develop and deliver a course on presentation skills, including making and presenting PowerPoint slides.
Probability

Probability

I have a Master's Degree in Mathematics (Applied Statistics) along with an undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering. I hold 5 American Society for Quality certifications, including Six Sigma Black Belt. I have 40+ years of industrial experience in Six Sigma and statistics, including problem solving and training both green and black belts. As part of my consulting company, I recently developed a basic and advanced probability and statistical training package for a large Chicago-based organization. I hope that I can help you, too!

Public Speaking

Lisa has spoken at numerous technical conferences over the last two decades for audiences of a few people to a multiple thousands of people. Her background of statistics and engineering, coupled with excellent written and oral presentation skills, made her an in-demand speaker for technical conferences in North America, Europe, Asia, China and Australia. In her career, she also coached many inexperienced individuals in presentation skills using PowerPoint or other tools. Lisa recently was hired by a large Chicago-based company to develop and deliver a presentation skills course for their employees.
SAT Math

SAT Math

SAT Math is a combination of many mathematical disciplines, including algebra, probability and statistics, and geometry. I have years of experience in several technical industries using all of these tools in a real-world environment. I have a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering and a master's degree in mathematics with a concentration in applied statistics. I have taught all of the areas associated with SAT Math to many other high school, undergraduate, and even graduate students.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Lisa tutored me on Excel and taught me how to break things down into manageable steps, moving forward piece by piece. It takes time and can be challenging, but Lisa helped put my mind at ease with the charts and examples she used to explain everything clearly as we discussed it. I’m looking forward to our next lesson—Lisa is a great tutor to have!
