Restarting My Tutoring Business: A New Chapter
Tuesday, March 25, 2025:
Hello! I'm Angie, and I’ve been a passionate tutor for nearly 20 years, specializing in high school and college-level math and science. After working with hundreds of students, I’m excited to restart my tutoring business and share my love of learning with even more students.
My background includes a BS in Biology from UT Dallas and a Master's in Healthcare Administration from Capella University. These degrees have given me a well-rounded perspective that helps me relate to students in different subjects and grade levels.
Although I’m passionate about Chemistry, Geometry, and Algebra II, I enjoy helping students with a variety of math and science topics. I offer a bonus—my experience allows me to help students across multiple subjects, which is great for families who want consistent support throughout their educational journey.
I’ve recently returned from day one of the Marketech Conference in Kearney, Nebraska, where I joined Grow Nebraska as a new member. This event has energized me to focus on marketing and strategy to make my tutoring business even more accessible to students. I’m excited for what’s to come and look forward to sharing more about my journey.
If you haven't yet checked out my videos, you can find helpful study tips and instructional content. If you prefer to read, I’ll be posting more blog entries with insights, tips, and updates on my tutoring services. Stay tuned for more!
Thank you for being part of this journey with me!
Inspired by Colbert: My Take on the Questionnaire
March 28, 2025:
The other night, I was watching The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and caught questionnaire with Chris Hemsworth. As I listened to the questions, I thought, Why not do something similar for my blog and YouTube? So here we are! I’m sharing my own version of a personal and professional Q&A to let you get to know me better—both as a tutor and beyond.
I’ll also be diving deeper into Question #2: What inspired you to become a tutor? ... in an upcoming YouTube video, where I’ll talk more about my journey and what led me to where I am today. I’ll link that video right here in the blog once it’s live.
I actually got started as a tutor through a work-study program at UT Dallas, where I became an AVID tutor with Plano ISD. AVID is a high school program designed to prepare students for college by giving them the tools they need to succeed, including group tutoring in challenging subjects. I worked in that role for about three years, and during that time, I also began doing private tutoring in Dallas. That’s when things really took off!
From there, I kept at it, and eventually, I became a staff tutor at Collin College where I focused on helping chemistry and anatomy & physiology students.
I absolutely love troubleshooting problems and helping students finally get that “aha” moment. But beyond just solving math and science problems, I also enjoy supporting students through tricky spots in their academic journeys. Whether it’s discussing study habits, future classes, or even career choices, I’m here to listen and guide them. Seeing students gain confidence and feel empowered in their learning process is what keeps me motivated every day.
I’d tell my younger self: Don’t stress about understanding everything immediately. Some concepts will click right away, while others take time to sink in. And that’s okay! Use the learning tactics that work best for you and ask for help sooner rather than later. I used to be too stubborn to ask for help, thinking I could figure everything out on my own. But talking to teachers, professors, TAs, and fellow students can make a world of difference. Most of the time, they’ve been exactly where you are and are more than willing to help.
I have a deep love for medieval history! I’m especially fascinated by the Tudor era and the two or three centuries leading up to it. I’ve spent countless hours reading about key historical figures like William the Conqueror, Henry VII, Henry VIII, and Eleanor of Aquitaine. These days, I listen to history podcasts to fuel my hobby.
In fact, answering this question inspired me to start a History Resources section on my website where I’ll be sharing my favorite authors and podcasts that cover this fascinating period. Stay tuned for that update!
Honestly? I don’t! It’s a constant balancing act. I try to map out my week and tackle each day as it comes. I usually have a general idea of what I want to accomplish each day and break tasks into manageable chunks.
Here’s what a typical day looks like:
✅ I work on my tutoring business for a while in the morning.
📚 I spend time homeschooling Sophia—focusing on reading, letters, and math.
🎥 Later, I dive back into business tasks and content creation while Sophia either entertains herself, works on her own school-related activities, or does some art.
We also make room for fun outings, like trips to the zoo or local parks. My mom and stepdad are lifesavers when it comes to helping out with Sophia, and I use technology to stay productive. In fact, as I’m answering this questionnaire, I’m sitting in bed with my iPad!

Final exams, especially comprehensive ones, can be a major source of stress. But whether you’re a traditional student or homeschooling a high schooler, a clear plan can make all the difference. In my latest YouTube Short below, I walk through 4 practical steps to help students prep effectively, set realistic grade goals, and take advantage of review materials and support resources.
This strategy works for high school and college-level students, including homeschool families preparing for end-of-year assessments or dual enrollment exams.
Need extra help? I offer private tutoring in math and science (9th grade through college) online and in-person in Omaha. Perfect for students who want personalized support or a fresh explanation to really get it.

I’m back after a short hiatus. Thank you for your patience! I was away helping a family member recover from an injury, but I’m excited to jump back in just in time for finals.
I’ve released 2 new YouTube Shorts to help students finish the semester strong. The first is a quick announcement with final exam tutoring specials, and the second shares 6 essential tips for taking any exam. Check them out, and reach out if you need last-minute tutoring support!

Another spring semester is in the books - literally! Between final exams, last-minute review sessions, and caring for a family member recovering from an injury, it's been a full season on all fronts. As Memorial Day approaches and the school year winds down, I’m shifting into summer mode. I’m now offering flexible, by-appointment tutoring for ACT/SAT prep and subject-specific refreshers - perfect for students who want to stay sharp or get ahead. Here’s to sunshine, slower days, and making space for growth at your own pace.

In addition to tutoring math and science, I’ve recently added a new Health Information Management (HIM) section to my website! This page is dedicated to those pursuing or working in medical billing, coding, and healthcare compliance.
I also just posted a full video of my master’s capstone project, which covers coding, compliance, claims denials, KPIs, and more.
I’m still tutoring and will resume videos in June - just balancing things right now as I care for a sick family member (hoping things settle by July!).
