About Barbara


Bio

Hi. My name is Barbara. Teaching is my passion. I grew up the youngest of 10 children, and couldn't wait to go to school. I had a chalkboard in my house and I used to pretend to play school. It's no wonder that I am a teacher and tutor! I have worked as a tutor for years and I was even a tutor for the athletes at the University of Maryland. Currently I am a professor at Northern Virginia Community College and I have also taught middle school and high school. My students would say that...

Hi. My name is Barbara. Teaching is my passion. I grew up the youngest of 10 children, and couldn't wait to go to school. I had a chalkboard in my house and I used to pretend to play school. It's no wonder that I am a teacher and tutor! I have worked as a tutor for years and I was even a tutor for the athletes at the University of Maryland. Currently I am a professor at Northern Virginia Community College and I have also taught middle school and high school. My students would say that I am patient, that I can break things down so that they are easily understandable, and I make learning fun. I hope to hear from you about the possibility of helping you realize that MATH CAN BE FUN!

Excellence in education

I speak highly of Barbara as a tutor. From my perspective, her patience and depth of knowledge have been incredibly helpful in my learning journey. One of the things I appreciate most is her flexibility with scheduling; it's made it so much easier for me to fit tutoring sessions into my busy life. Being around her is comfortable, and she creates an environment where I feel confident asking any question. What really impresses me is how she breaks down math problems step by step, ensuring I understand every aspect. With Barbra, I've not only improved in math but also developed a newfound enjoyment for the subject. I strongly recommend her to anyone seeking a reliable and effective tutor.

Great first tutoring lesson!

My son (14 years old) met with Barbara last week for help with geometry. Barbara is very knowledgeable, patient and engaging. My son felt very comfortable with her and is motivated to see her on a regular basis for tutoring. Thank you, Barbara, and see you soon!

Focused and patient

Barbara has been great with my 16 year old when it comes to Algebra 2 tutoring. She provides guidance and is extremely patient. I’m planning on having her tutor my 13 year old son with Algebra 1.

Went above and beyond.

Barbara did a great job helping our son prepare for an Alegebra 2 exam. She was very patient, knowledgeable on the subject matter, and paid close attention to to the areas our son needed the most assistance. On her own time, Barbara prepared additional practice problems and lesson material for the tutoring sessions. We greatly appreciated her efforts and would definately schedule time with her again.

Algebra I

She was great. My son loved her. I needed a tutor last minute and she did not disappoint. She's reliable and always replies when messaging her. I will definitely keep using her as my son's math tutor.
