My daytime weekday rate ending by 5pm eastern is $24 an hour. Other times later and on weekends are $36 an hour. I am a certified 7-12th math teacher with 25 years of experience teaching 8th grade or older. I teach Algebra 1 & 2, Geometry, SAT/ACT math prep, ASVAB, PERT and Accuplacer math testing. I am 100% devoted to helping you but need you to show me what is confusing and ask questions. Message me a picture of a problem you are trying and I will give free feedback and write out an explanation free of charge. You only pay for live one on one tutoring. I do not tutor Sundays unless I am not available at your normal time. Cancellations occur so let me know if there is a day/time you need that is not currently available so I know to contact you if it opens up.
Please message me the exact day/start time you would like. My schedule changes by the hour as new students request times or make changes. Since I have students from all over the world, please list your time zone so there is no confusion and I will confirm asap. I prefer to use zoom since it gives me the flexibility to write on a share screen. With zoom you can record the lesson on your computer. I am only looking to help high school students or adults who struggle with math, but are self motivated & really want to learn. To make the most out of tutoring, you should be prepared to show me exactly the type of problems that you need help with. You only pay for the time you use and it can be less than an hour in any increment of 5 minutes. Thank you for this opportunity to help!

Approved Subjects

Accuplacer

Accuplacer

I have helped many students prepare for the math portion of the Accuplacer test. I would first suggest that you do the practice problems so that I can see what skills we need to work on. Getting tutoring will help your math placement and therefore will save you time and money. Tutoring is my main income and I fully devoted to helping you !
ACT Math

ACT Math

I love how excited parents & students are when their scores improve after tutoring. This math test is a skill driven test whereas the SAT test is more problem solving. The ACT includes a science section. My advise is to only use the official ACT practice book. The other practice books cannot plagiarize the test and do not read like the test. Also, to go to the official ACT website listed as actstudent asap and have your student go to the test prep section and try and complete the 5 modules for the math section. Contact me and I can give you any other information that I have gathered on this new test. I believe one on one tutoring far exceeds the big expensive ACT classes. With your student's effort and my guidance, he or she will improve their score as well as help their math foundation for current and future math classes.
Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I enjoy helping students gain a solid foundation in algebra. You will get the most out of tutoring if you show me what you have tried so that I can see where the confusion is.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I enjoy helping students gain a solid foundation in Algebra. You will get the most out of tutoring if you show me what you have tried so that I can see where the confusion is. Also the only way to get strong in Algebra is if you ask me for more problems to try that are like the ones that you previously had trouble with.
ASVAB

ASVAB

If needed I can try to help with the non math sections. Please note that I best qualified to help with the Math reasoning and Arithmetic Reasoning sections of the ASVAB. My advice is to do as many math practice questions as you can before we meet so that I can see what you struggle most with. That way, I can see clearly from our first meeting how much work we need to do. Ask myself or your recruiter for the website or apps that will best help you prepare for the test. I am honored to help you on your journey to serve our country.
Geometry

Geometry

I am interested in helping students who are taking notes, trying their homework and care about learning. I enjoy the visual Geometry problems that involve algebra. Proofs are the other aspect of Geometry. They are also important, so I will help your student think logically so that they understand the order in which they need to order their proof statements.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I have been teaching Pre-Algebra since 2000. Pre-Algebra is an important stepping stone to lay a solid foundation for the rest of your students mathematics. I know what is involved in Alg1, 2 and beyond so I teach Pre-Algebra with the future in mind so that they can make the future connections. Students need repetition so encourage your student to do as many different typed of problems for the same skill so that they can experience all the aspects of that skill. I would visit websites that have interactive games to reinforce skills. Upon our first contact I will give you the names of websites I recommend.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I love how excited parents and students are when their scores improve after tutoring. I taught a 9 week SAT math elective course in high school and have done much private tutoring with much success. The March 2024 New digital SAT is very different from previous tests. My advice is to only use the NEW official online Collegeboard tests which also give you the opportunity to download the software that you will need for the actual digital SAT test. Other companies try to make money by selling practice books, but only Collegeboard material reads like the actual test. I believe one on one tutoring far exceeds the big expensive SAT classes. With your student's effort and my guidance, you will both get your best score as well as help your math foundation for current and future math classes.

Tina is amazing!!

Tina has been helping my daughter with the math section of the sat’s for a few weeks. She is so wonderful! So knowledgeable and explains things wonderfully. She even works out problems for us ahead of time so she gives her a beautifully written explanation of the tricky ones! So dedicated and awesome! It’s hard to tell but it definitely looks like my daughter’s grades are improving. I say it’s hard to tell because each test is so different but her last two grades have been the highest yet!!! Also, she is so reasonable- you would be crazy to use anyone else.

Incredibly patient, kind, professional, knowledgeable tutor!

Tina is elegant and methodical in the way that she talks through the process of solving math problems, leaving less room for misunderstanding. She's flexible, insightful, thoughtful, and brilliant. If I could leave more than 5 stars I would!

GREAT & PATIENT TUTOR

10/10! Tina worked through problems with me, explaining each concept I voiced confusion on. She is very patient as I have been out of school for a while & have many questions. I absolutely recommend her if you’re struggling to understand math or just need a brush up!

Rania, 4 lessons with Tina

Knowledgable and patient math tutor for ASVAB.

Tina is very detail oriented, she provided notes on each session afterward. She customized each next session toward his challenge areas. My son didn't need a full hour each time, and she was flexible to only charge for the time used. Definitely a good value at a reasonable price.

Knowledgeable and trustworthy

Tina is an awesome tutor. She helped my daughter understand concepts she was having problems with in algebra 1. Tina even gave her resources she could use on her own. We are definitely going to use her again.
