Changing students’ math attitude, educational experience, and their self-confidence is why I do what I love: tutoring and academic coaching!! These student changes have a ripple effect making life so much better for all around them as well.

Current Student Testimonial
Transcribed with permission from online tutoring session, student’s comments:
“Two last things, but they don’t have to do with problems. Just wanted to talk about things in general.
One: I’m really glad that you started tutoring me. lt’s made me start to like math like a lot more. I used to like it a lot more, but when I started struggling a lot it didn’t become as much fun for me. It just became a lot of stress. You make it really interesting and I enjoy it.
But even though you don’t have anything to do with my English work or my science work all these other classes where I feel like you’ve increased my mindset and my work effort.
My mom asked you if I should be in honors next year. She said you didn’t hesitate, said yes right away. I’ve always kinda felt like the only person who really believed in me for school was my mom. It feels good when other people believe in me.
When we did our first session I was expecting to be super bored, honestly. Like honestly expected to be bored for like an hour and a half. I enjoyed it a lot. I remember you saying you know I think we have like 10 or 15 minutes left and I was like “What?” I thought it had been 5 minutes.”
Mission accomplished!!

From Scary to Grateful
Halloween was a time of being scared for fun and intentionally.
Math does not need to be a time of being scared or overwhelmed or confused.
Math anxiety can be triggered by:
Fractions
Signed numbers
Variables
Trigonometric functions
Limits
Proofs
Radicals
Loooong solutions
Application or word problems
Tests or quizzes
Etc….
Math confidence can be created by:
Identifying and clarifying misunderstandings
Learning in a way that makes sense to you
Practice with assistance
Practice on own
Become thankful that you can use math confidently!
- Share what causes you math anxiety.
- What do you want to be grateful about mathematically?
