I graduated from Brigham Young University with a BS in Statistics. During my time there, I taught the lab section for the introductory statistics course for 5 semesters. I also tutored several Social Science students in their statistics classes.
I earned my Master's Degree in Biostatistics from The University of Washington. If you're interested, I'll explain what that means when you come for tutoring.
Following my Master's Degree, I worked for the University of California San Francisco on the Study of Osteoporotic Fractures. When I became a full-time mom I started tutoring after my babies went to bed. In the years since then, I have tutored over 100 students in my home and helped hundreds of students with math when I volunteer at our elementary school.
I recommend 30 minutes for elementary school students. For older students, we can accomplish a lot in one hour. I have occasionally done 45 minute sessions for some students.
Always bring a pencil with a good eraser. Bring your notes, homework assignment, test review packet, and textbook (physical or digital). And you'll probably want some paper to write on and your calculator. If all your homework is on a computer, it's helpful if you can bring your own chromebook or laptop.
Yes! As long as you can get to my house and back to school in time for your next class, I can tutor during the day when you have late start or an open period. I'm also available after school or in the evening.
If you are struggling to keep up in your class, our work together will be most effective if you come every week. If you try to wait until the week of the test, it will be too much for us to cover in the allotted time and too much for you to learn well.
Yes! I am happy to tutor two or three students in the same class. If you want to join with a friend or two, I offer a discount for group tutoring as long as everyone comes together. If your friends bail, you'll be back to full-price.
I tutor all subjects for ACT prep, but for general tutoring I specialize in math. If you need a tutor for another subject I can recommend other tutors that I know.
