About Emily

I am a firm believer in the fact that anyone can understand math. It's a nuanced subject that can seem intimidating, but I'm passionate about helping each student see the concepts in the way that THEY learn so they are encouraged by their own progress and gain momentum.

I have been math tutoring since my freshman year of high school (almost 11 years) in subjects ranging from 6th-7th grade math through Geometry. I was also privileged to teach Pre-Algebra and Geometry for a year at a private school.

I mainly work with students online, but am open to in-person lessons as well if the circumstances allow.

I just love encouraging students that they ARE smart and capable of learning. It's very important to me that students feel heard and understood, and that they feel comfortable asking questions.

I have loved math always, and I started peer tutoring my freshman year of high school (2010). I was a grade advanced from the rest of my class from 6th grade onward, so it made it easy for me to tutor my peers.

I have been tutoring or teaching in some capacity ever since, with anywhere from 1-6 students per week, depending on the year and my availability outside of tutoring.

I worked for a private school for a year as a Secondary Education Assistant. Because it was a small school, I was essentially teaching the Pre-Algebra and Geometry classes under the tutelage of the main math teacher there. He helped me with curriculum pacing, grading, presenting topics, testing, etc. and I was able to manage my own classroom under his supervision. It was a blast.

About the lesson

I like to take the first session or two just learning about the way they would naturally work through a problem, or even do simple operations. That can tell you a lot about the way that a person thinks, learns, and processes. I use that information to tailor my teaching style in a way they can easily relate to.

I mainly work with middle and high-school-aged kids, but I have worked with some 4th-5th grade as well.

I work with a variety of learning styles as well, and my passion is to find a way to effectively teach in the way the student will best learn, even if it sometimes takes a little trial and error.

My advice is to find someone that teaches the way you learn, and someone that listens to/understands your process. Math is a nuanced subject that sometimes seems intimidating because the approach isn't as black-and-white as some other subjects are able to be.

Often, we don't understand because the teacher is simply explaining in a way that we don't process information, and if they aren't able to adjust their style so that you can understand it can be pretty frustrating.

It also helps if you like them in general. :)

Any time a student comes to me to let me know that they aced a test, or even went up a grade or two from their normal, they have a beaming smile and it makes my day. There's something amazing that happens when a student realizes they are ACTUALLY capable of succeeding in a mathematics class when so many people believe they will never understand it.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
One of the big things I have to work with students to improve on is slowing down. Many of the mistakes we make in math are due to simply not taking the time to fully read/understand the question, or not double-checking the steps we've taken.

If you are able to keep track of why you took the steps you took in a problem, and you've double-checked your process and still don't understand your result, it may be time to check with your teacher to see what you may have missed.

Emily is really good at figuring out what your child's learning style is and tailoring the lessons to fit the way they learn.

She's helped my son through algebra I and II as well as geometry.

I highly recommend her to anyone with frustrated kids who think they "aren't smart".
