My teaching experience consists of six years of teaching in both private and public schools. Currently, I am a retired certified math teacher, state of Florida, for grades 7-12. Tutoring over 900 hours on Wyzant's platform and working with my own children adds to my versatile experience. Last teaching position I held was teaching Algebra 2 in Brevard County, Florida. Tutoring students who scored a 5 on the Algebra I EOC exam provides an expertise in this area. Online coursework experience with students enrolled in Florida Virtual School courses provides a foundation for working with common core ,modeling mathematics, and online coursework. Proficiency includes working with the University of Florida's Algebra Nation Workbook and the Math Nation Geometry Course Workbook for those who need guidance completing these challenging workbooks

The past two years, I have done extensive work on ACT preparation. Mathematics can be a challenging topic and I feel that I can explain many complicated ideas in a simple way.

My daughter is attending USF. She still comes home on the weekends to receive help in her math courses. It is such a pleasure to be able to help others and I look as teaching as a gift. I was a teacher long before I became a mother, but being a mother has made me a better teacher.

Wonderful!

Dana is a wonderful tutor. She is very patient and explained concepts in a way that was easy for my daughter to understand. You can tell that Dana really cares about her students. We will definitely have her back!

Great Teacher

My daughter and I are so thankful for the assistance and for teaching her and by keeping her engaged as well. She is currently very pleased and happy with the session she had and will be returning again. Highly recommend if you want someone who takes the time to teach and make sure your child is learning and being involved as well. Especially for being able to break it down in portions to her understanding until she fully comprehends the work. Again thank you very much!

Prepared and patient.

Dana is superb. She communicates ahead of time, comes prepared and brings many years of experience with her when she tutors. My son stated he learns more in an hour than a week at school it is well worth it!

Insightful, Experienced, & Accommodating

Dana is flexible, accommodating. and easy to work with. Additionally, she did a terrific job of patiently utilizing her skills to assist our student in learning the necessary Algebra II skills he needs. We plan to continue taking advantage of her expertise!

Math made simple

My son had his first tutoring session with Dana He said that Dana "made the math simple" He is looking forward to more tutoring with her for SAT prep in math. Sessions will continue regularly.

Patient and Positive Tutor

This is my daughters 4th tutor for SAT and she is really enjoying her lessons with Dana. Dana is very patient with her and doesn't push her to do excessive amounts of practice tests which I find alot of the tutors do for SAT prep. Although I feel that is a good strategy I think some students lose interest in the topics and respond better to other methods. My daughter takes the SAT on Dec 4th so I can't provide feedback on her score yet but I'm hoping to see improvement with Math. Thank you Dana!

Wonderful tutor

Dana helped my daughter with high school Algebra 2 the same day I put in the request. My daughter thought she was amazing. She was very confused and Dana made sure she understood the concepts and that she truly grasped the lesson. She told me immediately she wants to continue working with her the rest of the year. Thank you, Dana!
