Your Patient Math Mentor

Tereasa L.

I’ve been an academic tutor since 2005, supporting students across a wide range of subjects with a particular focus on mathematics. For four years, I worked with Sylvan Learning Center, where I gained valuable insight into identifying and bridging learning gaps. From 2009 - 2014, I served as an Academic Tutor at Georgia Highlands College, teaching basic math, algebra, precalculus, Calculus I, and Statistics. I’ve also taught GED classes for Central Georgia Technical College. Over the years I’ve had a private tutoring service as well. I’ve tutored hundreds of students with nearly a 100% pass rate.

I hold a bachelor’s degree in Economics from Berry College, where I developed a strong foundation in analytical thinking and interdisciplinary learning. My graduate coursework in math education further deepened my understanding of effective teaching strategies, especially for students navigating both foundational and advanced math concepts. Over the years, I’ve worked with learners from middle school through college, offering one-on-one instruction, small group sessions, and targeted remediation.

What sets my tutoring apart is my ability to pinpoint learning gaps and guide students toward mastery while helping them stay on track in their current coursework. I approach each session with patience, empathy, and a commitment to building confidence. My goal is not only to teach the subject matter, but also to empower students to trust their problem-solving abilities and overcome the intimidation often associated with math. I strive to make learning a supportive and affirming experience—one that transforms uncertainty into clarity and growth.
