Hello, I have a PhD in math, with 15 years of successful tutoring experience at the high school and and post-secondary levels and 8 years of classroom teaching experience at universities and colleges. I'm currently a math instructor at VIU. I'm available to tutor any level of grade-school math, including calculus, as well as most online/distance university and college courses. Sadly I'm not able to tutor VIU students due to possible conflict of interest. I enjoy working with students one-on-one (and their parents, if appropriate) to help them overcome their specific math challenges, develop effective learning strategies, and gain confidence with math. By emphasizing understanding over "tricks" and memorization, students develop a strong foundation that they'll be able to build on in future courses. Whether you're completely lost, or aiming to go from "kinda getting it" to "acing it", I'd love to help you meet your goals. I prefer to meet in the VIU area, but can come to your home depending on location. My rate is $45/hour, with a possible discount for a convenient meeting location.
