Hi! My name is Jenna Murphy. I have 8 years of combined experience in teaching and tutoring mathematics at various levels, including middle school, high school, and college. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics from Cal Poly University in San Luis Obispo, California, but also gained a lot of my skills through Canada College in Redwood City, CA.
To be truthful, I also struggled with math in my younger years. I know firsthand what it takes to overcome math anxiety, and I've had amazing teachers who taught me how to teach math effectively. I hope to provide others with the insights I've gained along the way about developing a growth mindset and achieving their math goals, whatever their current level may be.
Beyond my passion for math and tutoring, I had the exciting opportunity to intern at NASA, have dabbled with web development, and am actively involved in animal rescue. Because of my diverse experience, I am open to hearing what students' life goals are and helping them achieve whatever they may be!
I offer tutoring in a wide range of mathematics from 5th to 12th grade, as well as college-level math up to Calculus 2. Additionally, I provide SAT prep to help students excel in their exams.
I offer flexible tutoring services, including sessions at my residence, your residence, a convenient public location or on-line.
I am dedicated to offering highly tailored, one-on-one mathematics tutoring, personalized to each student's unique needs. I believe that every student has the potential to excel in mathematics through diligent practice and having access to an open-question environment. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a growth mindset, where students build confidence and competence in math.
Understanding that each student comes with different experiences, gaps in knowledge, and individual goals, I approach teaching with kindness and patience. By meeting students where they are and providing practical, customized support, I aim to ensure they acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in mathematics.
I emphasize the importance of combining our tailored sessions with dedicated independent study, encouraging students to put in the effort required to achieve their mathematical goals. I am confident that, with the right mindset and perseverance, every student can succeed.
