Bio

I have helped hundreds of students boost their homework and test scores! These results come from hundreds of hours of experience breaking down intricate concepts into simple, easy-to-understand steps. In my lessons, I use targeted prompting questions to guide students toward independently understanding the steps needed to solve problems. I excel at quickly identifying areas of weakness, such as time management, science, math skills, statistics, etc., and transforming them into strengths...

I have helped hundreds of students boost their homework and test scores! These results come from hundreds of hours of experience breaking down intricate concepts into simple, easy-to-understand steps. In my lessons, I use targeted prompting questions to guide students toward independently understanding the steps needed to solve problems. I excel at quickly identifying areas of weakness, such as time management, science, math skills, statistics, etc., and transforming them into strengths through tailored guided practice exercises.

I previously worked as a professional high school and college tutor while attending the University of Wisconsin - Green Bay before transitioning to Wyzant’s platform. My teaching journey has been equally diverse and rewarding for the past 6 years. I’ve guided students one-on-one through the challenges of Calculus, Pre-Calculus, Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Trigonometry, Statistics, R Studio, Chemistry, Ecology, Biology, and Environmental Statistics, tailoring my approach to individual needs. Additionally, I’ve led interactive sessions for classes of 15 to 30 students, encompassing both undergraduate and graduate levels. These groups, ages 14 and older, brought a variety of perspectives that deepened my ability to engage, inspire, and adapt.

When I have free time, you’ll usually find me doing what I love most—tutoring! My lessons are fun, interactive, and designed to make learning an enjoyable experience. From the very first session, your student will experience the thrill of success and gain the confidence to tackle challenges head-on.

I hold a Master of Science in Environmental Science and a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science with a minor in Statistics, both from the University of Wisconsin - Green Bay.

Very Helpful and Knowledgeable Tutor

Whitney is a fantastic tutor. My daughter is a HS senior taking Linear Algebra, and as her first test came up she did not feel ready. Luckily for us, Whitney turned out to be an incredible tutor. My daughter not only understood the concepts she had trouble with but also gained confidence after her session. She did very well on her test, thanks in no small part to Whitney's expert instruction. My daughter loved Whitney's lesson so much so that we booked a weekly tutoring session. Highly recommended!

Yuri, 6 lessons with Whitney
Tutor responded:

Yuri, thank you for sharing this. What a fantastic update! Linear Algebra can feel abstract at first, so I’m thrilled your daughter not only mastered the concepts for her first test but also came away more confident. She worked hard, asked sharp questions, and really leaned into the problem-solving strategies we practiced, that effort showed in her results. I’m excited to continue our weekly sessions and keep building on this momentum as the course progresses. Thank you again for your trust, can’t wait to see what she accomplishes next!

Great teacher

Very helpful and patient, she walked me through problems I didn’t understand. I overall learned a lot and am now able to understand my homework.

Kyle, 2 lessons with Whitney
Tutor responded:

Thank you for sharing this! I’m so glad the step-by-step approach helped those tough problems click and made the homework feel manageable. I appreciate the kind words, Kyle!

Amazing!

Ann, 11 lessons with Whitney
Tutor responded:

This made my day, Ann! Thank you for noticing the care that goes into tailoring each session. I always start by pinpointing where the roadblocks are, then adjust the pace, examples, and strategies so the math truly clicks for that student. I’m thrilled it’s working, and I’ll keep personalizing every lesson to build clarity, confidence, and momentum.

Amazing teacher!

I really learned a lot during my lesson with Whitney! I was struggling with understanding calculus concepts and she taught and clarified them to me. Would definitely recommend!

Skye, 4 lessons with Whitney
Tutor responded:

Skye, thank you so much for the kind words! I’m thrilled that our calculus session helped things click... turning “wait, what?” into “ohhh, that makes sense” is my favorite moment. Your focus and questions made it easy to tailor the explanations to you. I’m excited to keep building that momentum next time, whether it’s derivatives, integrals, or tackling tricky word problems. So proud of your progress already!

Great teacher

Very helpful and patient, she walked me through problems I didn’t understand. I overall learned a lot and am now able to understand my homework.

Kyle, 2 lessons with Whitney
Tutor responded:

Kyle, thank you so much for the update and kind words! I’m really glad our step-by-step walkthroughs helped those tricky problems click and made your homework feel manageable. Your focus and persistence made the difference. Keep it up! You’re on a great track!

Kind and patient teacher!

Whitney is teaching me so many new things, and even though it can be confusing and over whelming at times, she makes sure to slow down and ensure I understand before moving on. She is encouraging and I can see my growth already!

Ellie, 30 lessons with Whitney
Tutor responded:

Thank you so much for sharing this Ellie, it made my day. New material (SAT Math) can absolutely feel overwhelming at times, and I really admire how you stick with it and ask thoughtful questions. I’m glad our “slow down until it clicks” approach is working for you. I see your growth too, it’s real and it’s earned. Let’s keep that momentum going: we’ll keep the pace comfortable, circle back whenever something’s fuzzy, and build a quick-reference cheat sheet of the steps you’ve mastered so far. I’m proud of you and excited for your SAT Math!

Very Patient and Helpful

Helped me a lot to strengthen foundations for biology. It’s my lowest section on the DAT and im confident she will help me improve!

Victoria, 2 lessons with Whitney
Tutor responded:

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Victoria! I’m thrilled to hear that our work on biology fundamentals has given you a stronger base—especially on a topic as crucial as your DAT’s biology section. Your confidence means a great deal, and I’m excited to keep building on that momentum as we refine those skills together this summer. Let’s keep pushing forward so you walk into test day feeling fully prepared!

Excellent tutor

Whitney helped our son Ben get through the last few months of his 10th grade Honors Chemistry class. She was able to clear up the confusion created by his classroom teacher, and to explain the concepts in a way that was understandable. If Ben needs a tutor in the future, he hopes that Whitney will again be available.

Sharon, 12 lessons with Whitney
Tutor responded:

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Sharon! I’m delighted to hear that Ben felt more clarity and confidence in Honors Chemistry after our sessions. It was a pleasure working with him to untangle those tricky concepts, and I’m honored by your trust. I’d be thrilled to help Ben again whenever he needs support—here’s to continued success!

Knowledgeable teacher

Whitney helped my son get ready for his pre-calculus final. He had a study guide but was really struggling and she was able to explain things to him and it finally clicked. He aced his test, I wish I would have found her earlier in the year!

Lynn, 1 lesson with Whitney
Tutor responded:

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful update, Lynn! I’m thrilled to hear that our work together helped everything click for your son and that he aced his pre-calculus final.
