I have been tutoring math for more than 10 years. 

My experience includes working with students of a wide-range of abilities and talents -- including Honor students, special needs, and ESL.

Communication is my true love -- in a previous life, I was a writer and editor. With students, I focus on translating academic jargon into plain language. I turn "mathy talk" -- so prevalent in textbooks and classrooms -- into understandable English.

I consider it the highest compliment when a student says: "Well, that wasn't so hard. Why didn't my teacher just explain it that way?"
