Experienced, enthusiastic math tutor

Jennifer C.

Hey! I earned my Master’s in Applied Statistics in December 2016 from KSU. I worked as a GRA for the Stats department, teaching our research on outcomes for preterm infants. I finished my Bachelor’s in Mathematics with a minor in Applied Statistics and Data Analysis in December 2014 (also KSU). Since graduating I have been a data scientist (over 7 years at Home Depot), but am moving back to tutoring for better work-life balance for my husband and my 3 young kids!

I love helping people understand math! It is very rewarding to see something click with a student as a result of my teaching. In my experience many math teachers don't have the ability to explain things in multiple ways. I think I am excellent at bridging the gap and coming up with ways for every student to grasp the material. While most people see math and arts separately, I believe they are very similar. Once you get past basic math you have to be creative and think in a different way to be able to solve problems and explain how to get the solution to others.

I have tutored many students from elementary to college level for 10+ years, including a year spent abroad as a live-in nanny/tutor. Most of my tutoring jobs have been for high school & college students in various maths. In this instance I would normally spend our time going over homework/prior tests to help find/fix fundamental errors that can be keeping them behind in the class, and finding similar problems to ones they struggle with for additional practice in those areas.

I'm happy to tutor in most maths or assist in standardized test prep. I have experience tutoring for the math portions of the SAT, ACT, ASVAB (97), GRE (167), and GMAT. My student's GMAT math score went up by 100 points.

If the student (/parent) are not satisfied, I will not charge for the session(s)! Can tutor wherever the student will learn best. I typically don’t tutor weekends or late night, but can definitely be flexible in a pinch. Can povide recent references. Hope to hear from you!
