Hello!

I am a retired community college and university, as well as high school, math teacher who is looking to help individuals having difficulty in math or statistics.

During my ten years as a community college math instructor and twelve years at the university level I taught Developmental Math, Beginning Algebra, Intermediate Algebra, Business Math, Statistics, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus and Math for Elementary Education Teachers.

During my seven years teaching high school I taught Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, AP Calculus AB and BC. I also taught SAT Math Prep and Years I, II, III and IV of IMP (Interactive Math Program).

While at the community college I earned the "Excellence in Teaching" award. At the university I received "BG's Best" award. For high school teaching, I was named the December 2009 "Teachers Who Make A Difference" by WMDT TV 47.

I look very much forward to helping you with your math or statistics needs!

Ms. Dianne

Approved Subjects

Discrete Math

Discrete Math

Discrete math is math with discrete variables (integers). While not having taught an actual discrete math course itself, I did teach the topics that are in it in other courses. I taught probability and combinatorics in statistics (college level) , logic operators in math for computer programming courses (college level), set theory in algebra courses (college and high school levels) and coding and graph theory as individual topics in Integrated math courses (high school level). I also had graph theory and coding as part of math coures that I took in my undergraduate math degree. I have a master's degree in math and have 30 years of teaching math (22 college/university, 8 high school).
Finite Math

Finite Math

I have a master's degree in math and have done discrete/finite math throughout my math career. In my 30 years of teaching math (22 college/university, 8 high school), I have taught discrete math or finite math, both as part of statistics classes, business mathematics classes or math for computer programming courses. The probability and combinatorial mathematics is done in statistics, the logic operators are done in computer programming courses and the matrices and linear algebra are done in business mathematics. Last year I tutored a local college student in finite mathematics and readily saw how business topics which used continuous variables (for example, matrices and linear programming) were included in the course in addition to discrete variables (logic operators, coding, graph theory, set theory, combinatorics).
Praxis

Praxis

I took and passed the Praxis myself, both the first one (Pre-Professional) and then the Praxis II in Math. I am currently tutoring a student for the math portion of the Praxis Pre-Professional through another tutoring company. A few years ago I tutored a student for the Praxis II in Math through that same company.

Kind Hearted and Skilled Tutor

Ms. Widman really cares about people. She genuinely does and understands that some people need help, time and patience. That is what she gives. She is the best Statistics and Finite Analysis tutor. Ms. Widman is experienced, skilled, sharp and professional. She keeps the lines open for communication. Help from her is continuous until you understand. She is very kind hearted and does things that she does not have to do to make sure that you learn. I highly recommend her as a tutor. Sincerely, Nicole Bethel

Kind and patient tutor

Dianne is great at accommodating students' needs and working with their learning styles. She's also quite humble and will acknowledge when a concept is not her expertise.

Great Tutor and Patient

Dianne was very helpful and made me feel more comfortable in doing complex problems with confidence intervals. She also went in depth more about the exam review we were working on, so that was pretty helpful as well.

Knowledgeable and perceptive tutor

My son says Dianne really explains Algebra well. She realized that he needed to relearn some math subjects instead of just diving into Algebra. She's an amazing teacher.

Good AP Calc Tutor

Dianne work with my daughter on her AP Calc BC. She help her complete an assignment. She was knowledgeable and helpful. Dianne was easy to set up an appointment and was very flexible.

Kris, 6 lessons with Dianne

Knowledgeable abd Supportive

My daughter felt she was very supportive and helpful. She explained things well. We sent her questions and math problems ahead of time and she had them prepped to work on together via the digital whiteboard. Very positive experience!

Heather, 6 lessons with Dianne

Knowledgeable

Dianne had been helping my son with AP Calculus. She is through with her instruction and trying to help my son better understand the subject. She gives great tips on items he needs to work on. I would recommend her.

great tutor

Ms. Dianne is a great tutor. I didn’t understand the concept of one of the geometry classes but Ms. Dianne put it in a simple and easy to understand way for me. She is also very nice and I like her very much. :)
