Hi! I'm Emily! I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics in 2002 from Houghton University and a Master’s degree in Mathematics in 2006 from South Dakota State University. I have enjoyed working with students ever since!

I taught college mathematics courses for 14 years. I worked for 2 years as a graduate student at South Dakota State University, 4 years at the University of Montana, and 8 years at Johnson County Community College where I was a finalist for the Lieberman Teaching Excellence Award. I have taught a variety of courses including Algebra, Math for Elementary Teachers, Finite Math, Precalculus, and Statistics. I love working with students and helping them to see the value in studying and learning math.

While I was at the University of Montana, I spent 3 years overseeing the on-campus math tutoring centers, as well as working as a tutor myself. I have also spent the last few years working as an online tutor. Through tutoring, I have been able to develop better teaching techniques by learning how students think about and learn certain topics. I love getting to know new students, and watching students develop a love for math, or at least appreciate it! Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule a lesson.

Wonderful math tutor!

Emily has tutored two of my daughters, and both of them found it really helpful and liked Emily a lot. She has been great to work with—she communicates quickly about scheduling and is incredibly flexible with our last minute needs. I am so grateful to have found Emily and recommend her highly to anyone!

Great Teacher!

Very good teacher. Works very diligently with my child. I have seen my child’s grade being consistently at A or above during the school year due to the efforts of teacher and student together.

8th Grade Honors Math Tuturing

We’re so thankful for having found Emily and get her tutoring support for our son who is in 8th grade honors math. Seeing his face light up and beam with joy after each tutoring lesson brings us immense gratitude as parents! In his own words “Miss Emily is so good at teaching and helping me understand the things that are tricky. Sometimes I feel like it’s impossible to solve a problem but she breaks it down with me and then it makes sense!” As parents we appreciate her approach to first having our son solve and walk through his approach before offering help where needed. Instead of just letting him know when he makes a mistake, Emily also takes time to ask him why he made a decision to solve a certain way, so she can better help him learn the right path towards solving. We couldn’t recommend Emily more for any parents looking to help support their kids in math!

Kurdin, 10 lessons with Emily

Patient and helpful.

We reviewed some statistics and we went over formulas. She taught me to identity parts of word problems and plug them into the formulas. We also reviewed some older material that will prepare me for the tests.

Amanda, 8 lessons with Emily

Great class!

I'm feeling much more confident only after one class! Emily is easy to click with and makes you feel comfortable. Yay!

Great Algebra 2 teacher

Emily was a huge help to my daughter and really worked out problems with her. It was a great experience. We plan on using Emily for her tutor throughout the year.

Brandi, 4 lessons with Emily

Better than math professors!

My daughter is taking Statistics. She said Emily is better than her professors because she has a way of explaining math concepts in simplistic terms and is very patient. Thank you Emily!

Knowledgeable and patient tutor…

Emily worked with my son on College Level Stats. They met for two hours and covered several concepts. She was extremely knowledgeable and she was very patient. We have already made future appointments.

Amazing!

Emily is so kind and pateint. I had my first quiz and got a 97% after two sessions! The way she explains really worked for me. I was so nervous about math, now I’m starting to gain some confidence. She made me feel good about myself during our time. You will not regret having her help you!
