About Karen


Bio

Why study math? Because it's the coolest subject on Earth obviously! I am a university math instructor and have been teaching and tutoring university and high school level mathematics for 5+ years. I earned my Master of Arts in Mathematics, and also have a coding background - so I see first hand how mathematical concepts are applied to create truly amazing technology and scientific discoveries. I'm very enthusiastic about math!

I can help you feel confident about your problem solving...

Why study math? Because it's the coolest subject on Earth obviously! I am a university math instructor and have been teaching and tutoring university and high school level mathematics for 5+ years. I earned my Master of Arts in Mathematics, and also have a coding background - so I see first hand how mathematical concepts are applied to create truly amazing technology and scientific discoveries. I'm very enthusiastic about math!

I can help you feel confident about your problem solving skills: as we're working together, we'll identify and fill in foundational knowledge that you'll want to strengthen. We'll outline the problem solving process to follow, and identify whether this process straight away produces the answer, or where in the process you'll need to apply knowledge and make choices on moving forward. I'll ask pointed questions that help guide you on remembering the process. This makes thoughts flow in the right direction, increases confidence, and reduces "math stress".

It's nice to feel smart! Math is like weight-lifting for your brain - you'll enjoy the mental strength, certainly.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I've tutored numerous students in Algebra 2 (also called Pre-Calc or Trigonometry) - this is a very foundational subject, and perhaps the first non-elementary experience in math for many students. I have a ton of worksheets and e-flashcards to help with the experience of feeling confident!
Calculus

Calculus

I am a University Professor of Mathematics with a Master's of Arts in Mathematics and 5+ teaching and tutoring Calculus. I have lots of worksheets (and e-flashcards) for practice!
Computer Science

Computer Science

I have several years of experience as a software engineer (see linkedin.com/in/karengertrude) and systems analyst. I have a certificate in cyber security. I tutor a few local high school students in AP Comp Sci and have been a summer instructor for Girls Who Code.
Geometry

Geometry

I am a University Professor of Mathematics with a Master's of Arts in Mathematics and 5+ teaching and tutoring Geometry. This subject is very different from Algebra - we work with shapes and relationships between shapes, rather than numbers. It different but very mind expanding - and so fun, once you feel the confidence. I have lots of worksheets (and e-flashcards) for practice to set us up!
Linear Algebra

Linear Algebra

Linear Algebra is definitely one of my favorite subjects. I have taught Linear Algebra at the university level for several years. Although I really like the abstract nature of vector spaces, dimensions, projection, bases, etc - I know many very practical applications of this surprising subject. It's very interesting!
Python

Python

I am a Professor of Mathematics and also teach computer programming.

Knowledgeable, patient, and helpful tutor.

She knows her stuff, and makes sure that you understand before moving forward. I would definitely recommend if you need Calculus help, Precalc, Algebra, or Geometry.

Dillon, 9 lessons with Karen

Very Effective and Helpful, Highly Recommended!

Karen helped my son prepare for a very difficult college level final exam that he was taking as a senior in High School. He was struggling and Karen was able to help him understand the fundamental ideas that were holding him back from succeeding in the class earlier. She was very generous with her time and gave my son lots of extra materials to work with outside of the scheduled tutoring sessions. He did well on his final and ended the course feeling much more confident about his comprehension and abilities. We are very thankful that we had Karen's help and would definitely use her again! Thank You, Karen!

Knowledgeable, Organized, Great Communicator

Karen helped me with a Linear Algebra problem set with elements of multi-variable calculus. She came to our meeting very well prepared with an agenda of topics to cover. She was patient and had very great communication skills throughout. I'm an undergrad and was prepping for an independent study, and I had to make sure I really understood some of the fundamentals. Karen helped immensely and I would highly recommend her as well as personally return to her in the future.

Very clear, effective tutor.

Karen helped my son with IB Math. He found her to be very helpful and effective. She asked for problems in advance so she could be more helpful during the session. We will definitely use her again.
