Introduction: I have a lot of experience, energy, and interest in helping you succeed. Because of my background (I have a BA in Liberal Arts, and an MFA in Performing Arts) I can offer a lot of tips for remembering difficult concepts and show the way that different subjects relate to one another. I've lived abroad, and I know French and Spanish through both teaching and immersion; I'm responsible, friendly, and personable. Most importantly, I'm eager to work with you individually to help you find the methods that work best for your learning. I love communicating with people and finding the one kind of explanation that makes sense to my individual students. When something becomes clear to them, it makes my day!

Libby was truly a great find as a math tutor for our 8th grade daughter. After screening at least a dozen tutors and interviewing a handful of them, Libby proved to have the best combination of math experience (we needed her strong foundation in algebra and geometry) and more generally tutoring experience (broad not only in terms of years but also the many subjects she is qualified to tutor). Our daughter added that Libby's teaching style combines innovative learning techniques with an enjoyment of both the subject matter and her students. As a result, our daughter scored higher than expected on the math sections of her ISEE, and received a full letter grade higher than expected in her 8th math class. Perhaps most importantly, Libby made a difference in our daughter's confidence level and enjoyment of math. Finally, beyond her tutoring, we were so appreciative of the fact that Libby is punctual and very reasonably priced. So our only reservation in writing this review is that we hope Libby will again be available when our daughter starts high school in the fall! Thank you Libby.

Libby has a wonderful rapport with my son, who she tutors in spanish. He is always excited to see her, and eager to see what new book she has brought with her to the session. Her intelligence, patience and warmth, plus her ability to really "see" my son and find out what motivates him, make her an excellent tutor. I highly recommend her!

My daughter is in 10th grade and was having trouble with geometry and was really stressed about her grade. Libby is able to explain the math problems so that my daughter not only understands that problem but the whole concept. Her test scores have improved, which means her grade has improved, which means no more stress!

Libby has tutored my 6th grade daughter in math this last semester. We found Libby to be an excellent tutor. She is very patient and friendly, and my daughter really likes her. Libby has an excellent knowledge of the math material and has carefully thought through the best ways to present it. She uses manipulatives, games and visual techniques very effectively. She has been very reliable and conscientious. I would highly recommend her.

Libby is very patient, and my children (middle schoolers) always look forward to working with her. She has great ideas for teaching concepts more than one way. She is reliable and punctual. We highly recommend her.

FAQs

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Always find someone who fits with you! Sometimes you have to try more than one tutor to find a good match. You should look for someone who wants to understand your individual learning style, and set up their teaching to match it as well as possible.
