Experienced Algebra 1 Teacher with Hours of Tutoring Experience

Andrea S.

I am a dedicated Algebra 1 teacher with a B.S. in mathematics and 8 years of classroom teaching experience.

During my teaching career, I've taught middle school math, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and geometry. I also tutor after school, and I have several years' experience with both small group and one-on-one tutoring. I specialize in helping middle and high school students build a strong foundation in algebraic concepts while increasing their confidence and problem-solving skills.

My teaching experience includes the 6th-12th grade classrooms, individual tutoring, small group tutoring, and volunteering through local organizations. I'm passionate about investing in our students and helping fill in the knowledge gaps that I oftentimes see with my students.

Over the years, I have worked with a wide range of learners — from students who need extra support to those looking to excel in advanced coursework. My tutoring approach focuses on breaking down complex concepts into manageable steps, identifying gaps in understanding, and teaching strategies that students can apply independently.

I am very hands-on, and I believe in giving constant, immediate feedback when working with a student. With years of tutoring experience in addition to classroom teaching, I understand how to personalize instruction to meet each student’s needs. My goal is not just to improve grades, but to help students truly understand math and feel confident tackling it on their own.
