About Christine


Bio

As a non-mathematically inclined individual, my mathematical accomplishments can be likened to successfully running a marathon in an ill-fitting pair of ice skates on scorching asphalt. Because of my personal history with math, I can relate to the feelings of imbalance, confusion, awkwardness, insecurity, and frustration that other mathematically challenged individuals experience. I can envision the stumbling blocks they will likely encounter and can illuminate the path before anyone lands...

As a non-mathematically inclined individual, my mathematical accomplishments can be likened to successfully running a marathon in an ill-fitting pair of ice skates on scorching asphalt. Because of my personal history with math, I can relate to the feelings of imbalance, confusion, awkwardness, insecurity, and frustration that other mathematically challenged individuals experience. I can envision the stumbling blocks they will likely encounter and can illuminate the path before anyone lands face down in the gutter in front of a jeering un-empathetic crowd. I can relate to the experiences of the “keep up or get out” classrooms that perpetuate academic anxiety. I know what questions my students have before the query bubbles up from the depths of the unconscious. I understand the obstacles to overcome ... I’ve been there.

My education includes an Associate of Science with a concentration in Mathematics from Columbus State Community College where I was an Honors Graduate; I also obtained my Bachelor's of Arts degree in Mathematics from Capital University where I graduated Magna Cum Laude; finally, I attended graduate school at Ohio State where I was awarded a University Fellowship.

Professionally, I have over 20 years of tutoring experience with Columbus State and Capital University as a peer tutor, and at Ohio State in both the Student Athlete Support Program and the Statistics Department. I am a well-rounded tutor who can tailor mathematics and statistics content to a variety of learning and communication styles.

Christine knows her math AND has a terrific, encouraging approach to tutoring

Christine has been working through college calculus I with my daughter who is a senior in high school. She was terrific! She knew the material and explained it in a clear, logical manner that was easy to follow. Also - and very importantly - Christine did not talk down to my daughter or make her feel stupid. It takes a lot for some kids to admit they need help, and having an impatient or eye-rolling tutor is really embarrassing for them. There are quite a few tutors who are amazing in their field, but convey a "you seriously don't get this?!" attitude. Christine was quite the opposite and that's what really sets her apart. :)

Amazing experience!

Our son had waited all year to ask for help. In the last week or so, Christina very patiently helped him get caught up and he went I to his final confident and calm. We would 100% recommend Christine! She was brilliant!

Great teacher! Explains things well!

My daughter has trouble with math. We tried several tutors. Christine has made a real connection with my daughter. She says she enjoys working with Christine and she is learning a lot. My daughter’s math teacher commented that she’s been speaking up more in class since she started tutoring. Tutoring has been a very positive experience and Christine is an excellent tutor.

Friendly, Patient and Kind

Christine Helped my daughter who is having trouble with Calculus AB. Before meeting with Christine my daughter did not have any real grasp of the subject. After her session with Christine my daughter not only said she understood the work but Christine made the work easy and almost matter of fact. Thank you Christine!

Honors Pre-Calculus

Christine is doing a great job with my son in a difficult honors pre-calculus class. She's also great at finding time in her schedule to fit him in. Definitely happy with her work

Michael, 25 lessons with Christine

Amazing Tutor!

She is an absolutely outstanding tutor! She caters to students needs easily, and never puts down a student for not understanding. She always easily explains things a different way if you don’t understand the normal route. Would highly recommend her, especially for students who tend to think outside of the box!
