About Peg

Tutoring sessions are highly interactive as I engage the student in thoughtful reasoning and analysis. I stretch the student's thinking. And make it enjoyable. I use techniques and methods honed over ten years teaching math to middle school and high school students.

Two aspects of learning are critical: understanding of underlying concepts and good study and test prep skills.

As a tutor, I combine these together to help my students increase understanding and knowledge, improve study habits and build confidence. I am adept at accommodating personal learning styles and communicate often with parents.

I tutor all high school Math subjects and ACT/SAT test prep. Geometry specialist.

I have the "teacher gene" and love working with young people. I pride myself on doing a nice job of keeping things light and encouraging while making progress toward goals.

Inspired by Algebra 2/Trig teacher in high school.

I have a BS and an MS in Math Education and have taught for 10 years.   I've been tutoring test prep and math courses for 5 years.

The first lesson will include 15-minute personal introductions with the student and a parent to establish a rapport, get the student talking and comfortable, and understand the situation, needs, and goals.

I outline the ground rules: materials, cancellation policy, assignments, communication to parents, format of sessions, etc. and take questions.

I ask a lot of open-ended questions to probe for issues, attitude, strengths and weaknesses in subject matter, accommodations, study habits, personal organization and test-taking skills.

For math tutoring, we will start by reviewing a recent test, quiz or homework.  Test prep students take a practice test before the first meeting.  I use this exercise to assess current skill status and needs.

I encourage the student to take the lead and be responsible for his/her learning and subject matter understanding.  

Then, we’re off and running.  And we have some fun while we’re at it.

Who do I tutor?
Honors, regular, double block. Failing students, straight A students. Middle school, high school, college students and adult learners. Students with poor/great study and homework habits. Students with lots of extracurricular, students with none. Students preparing for ACT/SAT/PSAT/GED/ASVAB exams. Students with an IEP or a 504 plan. Students with ADHD, auditory processing, speech delay, spatial reasoning, PTSD, etc. challenges.

Find someone who knows how to teach, not one who is just really good at math.

I recently helped a student improve his grade from an F to a C in 3 weeks. He is now working on raising it to a B. He has improved his study habits and test performance. His confidence has soared and his mom and I just agreed to pare back to one session per week.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
I ask a lot of open-ended questions to probe for issues, attitude, strengths and weaknesses in subject matter, accommodations, study habits, personal organization and test-taking skills.
