About Nancy


Bio

Hello! My name is Nancy and I am the mother of four young adult sons. We elected to go the route of homeschooling (right through high school) rather than a traditional education. My eldest two sons hold masters degrees, my third son has a Bachelor's Degree in Radio Broadcasting, and my fourth son has an Associate's Degree. Since homeschooling and tutoring have a great deal in common, I can state that I had been successfully "tutoring" for approximately 17 years before joining Wyzant. ...

Hello! My name is Nancy and I am the mother of four young adult sons. We elected to go the route of homeschooling (right through high school) rather than a traditional education. My eldest two sons hold masters degrees, my third son has a Bachelor's Degree in Radio Broadcasting, and my fourth son has an Associate's Degree. Since homeschooling and tutoring have a great deal in common, I can state that I had been successfully "tutoring" for approximately 17 years before joining Wyzant. Homeschooling and tutoring have kept my skills and knowledge fresh and have taught me how to adapt material to a variety of learning styles. My level of expertise is greatest in math (elementary, algebra, geometry) and in all elementary subjects. I firmly believe in a mastery approach which requires reviewing material until it is learned (not memorized!). I am confident that we (your student and I) could achieve positive results in the areas requiring assistance.

Thank you for considering me as your student's tutor.

Elementary (K-6th)

Although I am not a certified teacher, I successfully homeschooled my four sons from kindergarten through high school. One has his master's in IT, one his bachelor's in Biochemistry, and the youngest two received their AS degrees, but have postponed continuing their education and are working to save money. One great thing about homeschooling and tutoring is that you can revisit problem areas and create alternative approaches to certain areas of study to achieve mastery. Many times in a classroom setting, these issues get overlooked so that the class can "move on" and the child gets more and more confused and discouraged. I am also familiar with Common Core, as I am currently tutoring a 7th grader in pre-algebra.

Very patient and fun

Nancy has been tutoring my daughter for 4 months now. My daughter has an A in math and enjoys her tutoring time with Nancy. She is patient and has great communication with her student. Highly recommended.

I like that she is supportive to my child. Her quiet authority is her super power. Nancy gives a detailed explanation of what is covered during each session and has a positive impact on my child's learning.

So far so great

We have had three lessons so far and our 7 year old son has really taken a liking to Nancy. He has an upbeat attitude towards lessons which really means a lot to us. We have been practicing her recommended school work in between lessons. He likes to say "It's not called school work, it's called 'Nancy work'!" He's enjoying himself and we look forward to continuing.
