Helen's Math Tutoring

About

About Me

I am a veteran high school math teacher with 30 years of experience teaching all levels of students and subjects. I have taught every course offered in most high schools from pre-algebra through AP Calculus and IB Math. My classrooms ranged from 9th grade to 12th grades students including non-native speakers and those with learning disabilities. In addition, I have taught online high school math courses in the summers and taught fellow math teachers while working for the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. 

​

Throughout my career as a high school math teacher, I have worked one-on-one with students starting from the age of 10 through freshmen in college. Before I begin a session, I get to know students habits, weaknesses, strengths and evaluate their math proficiency. I then work to fill in gaps, improve their current conceptual understanding, and teach them to apply new methods to different kinds of problems.  My goal is to build a student's skills and confidence to the point where they will not need my support.

Testimonials

I found myself struggling to understand simple word problems and equations and that is when I started meeting with Helen . She understood my learning abilities and the techniques needed to help me understand the concepts more clearly. She made me enjoy math again and I began to ask for more sessions with her because I didn't want to stop learning. I ended up being ahead of most of my classmates because of her and I can not thank her enough. Overall, Helen has been such an amazing resource for me and has helped me grow so much.
