Do you need help with your virtual or online math course? I can provide support as you go through your coursework and I can make online learning easy.

I am an experienced certified math and science teacher and tutor with 7 years of classroom experience. I graduated from the University of Georgia with a Master’s Degree in Mathematics Education and a Specialist Degree in Educational Psychology & Gifted Education.

This training and experience has taught me how to make math and science more relevant and interesting. As a classroom teacher, I am familiar with the Common Core Standards that teachers use to create their lessons. This allows me to help with current classwork as well as give students a head start with future classroom topics.

My goal is to make math relatable to the student so that they have a greater understanding of the logic and reasoning behind learning math. In addition, I can show how and where much of the math learned in the classroom is used in the real world.

Many students that have come to me for help have gone from failing to passing by the end of the semester. I've also been able to help students who claim to be “bad at math” to gain greater confidence and motivation to persevere and succeed in math and science.

I do this by adjusting my teaching style to meet each student’s individual needs and by utilizing various learning strategies so that it makes sense and connects with what the student already knows.

When needed, I also take advantage of Wyzant’s online platform to provide the same quality lesson online that you would expect from an in-person tutoring session. All you need is an internet connected computer. So physical distance no longer keeps you from getting the best math instruction you need.

I look forward to working with you, online or in person, to provide you with an educational experience that improves your understanding, confidence and proficiency with Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Precalculus, Calculus, Statistics, Chemistry, and Physics.

great teacher, very thorough!

My son has been struggling this semester due to the way the material has been taught. He has gone in early to get extra help. Tony very quickly found his weak area and present them in a way that brought clarity. I will schedule more sessions to get maximize the final grade and help next semester, also.

Ruth, 4 lessons with Tony

Helpful, flexible and patient

It's only been one session, but my daughter already feels more confident going into her Geometry quizzes on Fridays. He was able to fit us in on short notice. He listened and explained concepts in an easy to understand way.

Jennifer, 5 lessons with Tony

Broke through to my son

My son is naturally resistant to anything academically enhancing that we try to get him to do and this was no exception. However, the interaction between Tony and my son was far more robust (and 2-way) that I expected, and my son's attitude and tone were very postive toward Tony . Tony was very relatable with my son, with jokes, and good whiteboard technique. My son says that he has more clarification on the topics covered than he had prior to the session: said Tony is better than his math school teacher.

Ray, 14 lessons with Tony

Very knowledgeable and kind

Mr. Tony has been a great tutor for my son! He has been very helpful and thorough with his teaching. I really appreciate his efforts with keeping my son on track.

Jathan, 26 lessons with Tony

very good start and work

Very good first session, I hope we can have a plan on what is studied in 8th grade. Maybe it would be good if you could bring something and I will see with the math teacher what they will be working on.
