About Peg

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

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 through AP Calculus 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.

BS and MS in Math Education. Taught for 10 years.   Tutoring test prep and math courses for 10 years.

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

I taught math at high school and middle school for ten years, then spent the rest of my career in IT.  I've been tutoring math and ACT/SAT test prep for ten years. 

Tutoring focuses on goals - subject matter and executive functioning - and begins with Personal Introductions with the student and a parent to understand the situation, needs, and goals.  I ask a lot of open-ended questions and we develop a strategy targeting needs and goals.

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.

Math class tutoring focuses current material, remediation of gaps, study skills, monitoring goal progress.  Test prep students take a practice test before the first meeting to assess current skill status versus goals.  We identify score goals at the first meeting and develop a realistic view of what is needed to reach them.

I encourage the student to take ownership of his effort and results and be responsible for his/her learning and subject matter understanding.  I encourage the use of school-based resources and online tools and resources.

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

Who do I tutor?
I tutor all the high school subjects through AP Calculus and ACT/SAT test prep. I have a few middle school and post-high school students. 
Honors and AP students. Failing students. High performing students. Students with poor/great study and homework habits. Students with lots of extracurricular activities. Students preparing for exams. Students with accommodations and personal challenges.
