How I teach
I don’t lecture, and I don’t hand out steps to memorize. I ask questions and work examples until the student finds the idea themselves. An idea you find yourself stays with you longer, so you remember more and feel more confident when a new problem shows up.
Before a session, the student sends me pictures of the problems they’re stuck on from their own page, and I work through them ahead of time, so our time goes to the hard parts. We work them together on a shared whiteboard: what I write on my iPad shows up on their screen as I write it, and they can draw on it too. We go step by step, at the student’s pace, whether the goal is a Friday quiz, a final, or just feeling less lost.

The details
Session length: 1 hour by default. Online sessions can be as short as 30 minutes, and any session can run up to 2 hours.
When: Tuesday through Saturday, weekly or as needed.
In person: at a library, coffee shop, or the student’s home. If I’m tutoring a minor at home, an adult must be there.
Cancellation: book or cancel at least 36 hours ahead. Late cancellations and no-shows are charged 30%, which covers prep time and the slot I held.
After each session: what we covered, the problems we worked, and what to try before next time go on the student’s own page, which parents can sign in to as well. A recording of an online session is available on request.
Cost: partial waivers are available for demonstrated financial need.
