About Tammy


Bio

I have a 4-year degree in mathematics, plus a Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) Degree. I taught for Salem-Keizer Schools for 10 years and am now teaching middle school math and science at a private Christian school in town. I love math, however, and am always looking for tutoring jobs to help students gain an understanding and love for math as well! My specialty is Algebra, but can also help in pre-algebra, geometry, pre-calculus and trigonometry.

Algebra 1

I absolutely love algebra! I taught it in the public schools for 10 years, at both the high school and middle school levels. I hope after meeting with me, you also would develop a love of algebra. I enjoy helping students have a better understanding of what goes on behind the scenes when solving algebraic equations and also the joy of solving for that "mystery number"!

Kind, Knowledgeable and Patient

Tammy is kind and patient. She has tutored my son for almost 3 months. She is very flexible and easy to work with. She answers all questions and emails very quickly. She walks my son through the steps of solving the problems and makes things easier to understand. She is extremely helpful and patient which makes my son feel more confident in math. We highly recommend Tammy.

My 13 yo daughter is doing well in math but needs to have a better understanding of certain concepts of algebra. She enjoyed her first two sessions with Tammy. She found Tammy knowledgeable and patient and explained concepts clearly.

A consistent, patient, rewarding, procedure

Tammy is a wonderful tutor. My 7th grade daughter has a solid understanding of pre algebra and problem solving that she did not have before. It's through constant and consistent reinforcement of procedures my daughter and Tammy have connected, and my daughter is retaining because of this!
