Bio

I have a BA in Economics and a Master's in Mathematics Education. I have taught high school, 2-year college, private 4-year and 4-year research university mathematics. I love teaching mathematics but get the greatest reward from the one-on-one work I do with my tutoring students. I began tutoring when I was in graduate school and have continued nonstop since then.

I have a BA in Economics and a Master's in Mathematics Education. I have taught high school, 2-year college, private 4-year and 4-year research university mathematics. I love teaching mathematics but get the greatest reward from the one-on-one work I do with my tutoring students. I began tutoring when I was in graduate school and have continued nonstop since then.

I have 25+ years of teaching college mathematics and college, K-12, and SAT/ACT math tutoring. I specialized in Middle school - AP Calculus. I have been grading the AP Calculus exam for over 20 years. I love to help students "own" the math not just rent it. I have developed many strategies to help master mathematics, prepare for test and build confidence in their math ability. I am aware that not all students will "love" math but I hope to help them see the beauty of math and respect it's importance.

I am a single mom to two boys (11 and 15). They have benefited from hearing me tutor students their entire lives. They often quote some of the corny things I use to help students understand the math. I am shocked because I never knew they were really paying attention to my sessions.

I tutor middle school math, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Pre-calculus, Algebra 3, AP Calculus, SAT math (and subject test), ACT math, Finite Math, College Algebra, and Business Calculus. In my 25+ years I have found that the most important part of tutoring is the develop a rapport with the students that will help build their confidence in their ability to be successful in mathematics. So many students second guess themselves and have never been taught strategies to check their work (what I refer to as "warm fuzzies" and "red flags"). I always say that my job as a tutor is to work myself out of a job! If you don't need me anymore, I have done my job!

I am available for online and in-person sessions. I look forward to working with you!

Great AP Calculus Tutor!

I reached out to Tania because my daughter needed extra help in AP Calculus AB. Tania explained difficult concepts to my daughter, gave her tips, and provided relevant practice problems to work on. Working with Tania throughout the year, my daughter's final grade in the class improved significantly as compared to when she first started. Tania is a very supportive, patient, and knowledgable tutor that I highly recommend for any student needing extra help in AP Calculus!

Very helpful for advanced calculus in high school

Tania helped tutor both of my high school daughters in their advanced calculus math classes over the last couple of years. This was a very difficult course, that without Tania's assistance and spending the time to help them they would have not done as well as they did. Every point in these classes counts, and Tania helped to ensure my daughters were prepared. Also, with high school schedules and their uncertainty, Tania was very understanding and accommodating. I was happy to find her as a tutor and highly recommend her to others.

Excellence in an hour

Tania is a fantastic tutor that is able to take the most difficult high school subject and break it down for anyone to understand. She helped my son tremendously, and his newfound understanding was visible in his subsequent quiz and test grades, which were all A’s!

Crystal, 4 lessons with Tania

Great tutor for AP Calc

Tania knows the material well and also knows the AP test, so time spend with her really helped our student feel confident when taking AP Calc test. She was flexible on dates/times and worked around our schedule.

J, 27 lessons with Tania

Very helpful

Tânia worked with my daughter to help her with some challenging pre calc problems. Thank you for your kindness and supportive words, sometimes that’s as important as the knowledge of the subject!

Tania is simply the best

I'm a student in college with severe ADHD. And combined with missing a lot of math skills from covid I was struggling in my summer math class. After taking some classes with Tania, i've regained confidence. She helps me understand things more simply and is a great coach for math! Thank you so much!

Wonderful teacher!

Tania was a very good teacher and we had fun. She followed my pace for reviewing and learning the material to go faster or slower based on what I needed and understood. I enjoyed working with Tania very much.

Bev, 10 lessons with Tania

Fantastic Tutor!

Tanya is a great tutor. She is great with visual learners like me. She has a great way of working through complicated problems! I highly recommend her. I tried other tutors and she was far superior in her knowledge and how she teaches especially if you learn differently,
