Bio

I got a BS in Mathematics from the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology in 1991. After teaching high school for three years in El Paso, Texas, and teaching middle school math in Belen, New Mexico, I returned to New Mexico Tech to obtain my Master's Degree in Mathematics. I taught at the Valencia branch college of the University of New Mexico for approximately five years. I taught all levels of algebra, Calculus, and discrete math.

I got a BS in Mathematics from the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology in 1991. After teaching high school for three years in El Paso, Texas, and teaching middle school math in Belen, New Mexico, I returned to New Mexico Tech to obtain my Master's Degree in Mathematics. I taught at the Valencia branch college of the University of New Mexico for approximately five years. I taught all levels of algebra, Calculus, and discrete math. After retiring, I have tutored in my home - mostly algebra.

I use the inquiry method by leading the student to solutions on their own by asking questions to draw upon the student's knowledge. I also use lots of examples. I teach students to recognize groups or classes of problems and what approach should be used for that class of problems. I think learning to classify problems by type is one of the most valuable tools in learning mathematics.

I am a lifelong learner, and continue to take courses online. I enjoy learning and I especially enjoy doing math problems. I recently took Calculus III online and got a Certificate of Distinction. This was, of course, review for me and also fun.

Explains concepts clearly

Pansy was understanding and patient. My daughter left the lesson smiling and confident in the material, saying that Pansy did a great job explaining the concepts.

Sharon, 13 lessons with Pansy

Wonderful tutor

Pansy is so patient with our son and really works to help him understand the concepts and practice the math problems. She is a total math quiz and provides very insightful feedback. And she is very reliable and always on time.

Kristen, 18 lessons with Pansy

Excellent tutor

Extremely helpful with Algebra 2. She explains problems well ensuring full understanding before moving to the next problem. Definitely would recommend for high school students.

Brenda, 8 lessons with Pansy

Sweet tutor

My daughter really liked her time with Pansy. After being online for most of 2020-2021, she felt pretty lost in her new class this year. Pansy was extremely helpful and patient and my daughter feels a bit more ready for class this coming week. Thank you, Pansy!

Sarah, 1 lesson with Pansy

Patient, knowledgeable and kind

Pansy was wonderful to work with! I am a nontraditional student and needed someone who was very patient and understanding. She walked me through each Math problem, then let me work it out on my own, offering assistance as needed. She was always on time and ready for that days lesson. I was a pleasure working with her, and I'm sure you'll have the same experience.

Very Patient with our 6 year old

Pansy helped our student finish and understand some math work that we were having difficulty with. Very patient and understanding. Will use her again if we run into road blocks with learning.

Maxwell, 1 lesson with Pansy

Nice tutor

She helped with AP Calculus. She was on-time and we met at a convenience location. She was very nice. She was prepared with a calc book, calculator and paper for practicing exercises.

Understandable

Pansy is excellent. She’s patient and secure in her knowledge base. She explains things in a way that makes it very easy for my kids to understand. My daughter was missing a key step in algebra and Pansy cleared it up with 1 session. My daughter went from an ‘F’ on a quiz in algebra to an ‘A’ on a quiz that covered the same material. My son needed some guidance in calculus and Pansy stepped up to the plate. The calculus he’s covering is intricate and tedious and she’s just as well versed with both the algebra and the calculus. I highly recommend Pansy. She’s very accommodating with her schedule and very kind.
