I am just starting out as a tutor, but I feel I have a mastery of the material from all the math classes I have taken. I have never gotten lower than a B+ on a final exam in a math course. I am only able to tutor students in Ashland, but I am open to tutoring any age group.

Degree: (2004) B.S. in Applied Mathematics at CSU Chico, grade point: 3.9
My rates and availability are both flexible ~ I will usually charge $20/hour, but I offer give discounts for students with financial difficulties. I am available any night or day of the week, and I am willing to drive to a student’s home – my home is available as well. I have been tutoring for about 20 years now, including more than 10 at the college level. Most recently, I was tutoring for the Math Dept. at CSU Chico (Chair: Margaret Owens) and also at Butte College (community college near Chico). My students have often said that I am very patient and that I explain things in ways that they can clearly understand. I believe that students, especially math students, need confidence and encouragement. I do my best to listen carefully, so that I can understand what the problem may be, or where any confusion may have originated. I am very good in helping students with Algebra and Basic Math, but I can also tutor in Calculus and Statistics. Pre-Calculus is no problem, but for Calculus students, I may need to brush up a bit. For Advanced Calculus, however, I can be very helpful, especially with proofs. The CSU Chico Math Department Chair was my instructor in Intro to Proofs, Advanced Calculus, and also Number Theory. All of my grades in Math coursed at CSU Chico were A’s and A-‘s. And, I would like to offer English tutoring, something I also enjoy.
