NOW ACCEPTING STUDENTS FOR THE NEW SAT.

Did you take a prep course but aren't happy with your math progress? Are you a do-it-yourselfer who just needs a little boost? I can help!

Better your score! Whether you're a dedicated, focused self-starter, a complete screw-up, or anything in between, if you're about to take a standardized test, there are strategies you need to know, and I can help.

I am a full-time, professional tutor with more than fifteen years experience tutoring math, from elementary school to college level. Calculus is my specialty, but I can and have tutored all lower levels. I have also tutored special-needs students, including autistic students and a blind student.

I am a UIC graduate with a Master's degree in Pure Mathematics. Moreover, I excel at "explain-ery": I can present it so you understand all of it. And I can show you the easy shortcuts, as well as the "proper" way to do a problem.

I offer a satisfaction guarantee: if, after the first hour, you feel I haven't helped you, you owe me nothing. I do this because not every tutor is right for every student, and you shouldn't have to pay to find that out. For what it's worth, no one has ever taken me up on it. References from satisfied parents and happy students are available on request.

My rate is $60/hour, with no contracts. You decide how much tutoring you need or want, and you can stop any time. Additional discounts are possible.

I usually meet students in their homes, and pets are fine - I love animals. But if you prefer, we can meet at a convenient coffee shop or library.

Get a better score, and have fun doing it!
