I have over 20 years experience helping people better understand math, including 8 years of high school teaching (pre-algebra; Algebra 1, 2, 3; Geometry; and integrated math courses) and 3 years of teaching math at a community college. My tutoring experience ranges from early elementary school to college students, as well as adults returning to school. I have been told by several people that I make math easy and enjoyable...

I have been told by several people that I make math easy and enjoyable (I'm not kidding). The two things I love most are math and teaching. Let me help you succeed in your math class (and maybe even enjoy it in the process).

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have been tutoring students in Algebra 1 ever since I took Algebra 1 in 8th grade (almost 20 years ago). I also taught high school math in Georgia for 5 years before my husband and I moved to Michigan, where I taught algebra at a community college. For the last 3 years, I have also tutored many algebra students in an online setting. As much as I enjoyed teaching in the classroom, I really prefer individual and small group tutoring, since it allows me to cater more to the student's needs, which almost always results in greater success for the student.
Algebra 2

Geometry

Geometry

I’ve tutored students in geometry since I was a student in high school (more than 20 years ago). I’ve also been a geometry teacher at both public and private high schools. Geometry can be tricky for a lot of students because it’s a lot more spatial and logic-based than algebra is. I love helping them figure out how to “see” something that didn’t make sense before!
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I have been tutoring students in prealgebra ever since I was in 8th grade (almost 20 years ago). I also taught high school math in Georgia for 5 years before my husband and I moved to Michigan, where I taught algebra and prealgebra at a community college.

Kind, patient and VERY well-versed in math!

Kristin is a fantastic tutor! She is calm, and has a great way of explaining things. She is also quite flexible. Grateful to have found her, and will be having more tutoring sessions with her.

Kelly, 1 lesson with Kristin

Responsive and knowledgable tutor!

Kristin was terrific. She was friendly and knew her stuff! She made herself available on very short notice for Geometry when my daughter needed help. She helped my daughter with her questions and was very efficient with the material she covered (feedback from my daughter). We will be scheduling regular sessions with her, once my daughter gets her schedule for the rest of the year. Thanks so much, Kristin!

Amazing learning environment

A great tutor and it’s a relaxed learning environment great for anybody who’s hesitant of working with a tutor. This is how all tutors should be.

Jonathan, 1 lesson with Kristin

Kristin is a knowledgeable and patient tutor who really cares about her students.

Kristin has been helping our son with algebra 2. She is very flexible with her schedule when we have to abruptly change it. She is encouraging and gives extra practice sheets and offers assistance prior to a test. She is kind and friendly in addition to being knowledgable in algebra. Highly recommend!

She LOVES it!

The feedback Bethany gave me was that she absolutely loves the patience that Kristen shows because she tries very very hard to make sure Bethany understands. Bethany appreciates that so much. And it does seem that she understands the topics. We'll see how the quizzes go!

Good result

My daughter met with Ms Kristin and reported that she really liked the session. "Kristin was patient and didn't get caught up in words I don't know so I could just get what I'm supposed to do," Bethany said.
