About
student taught in Roxbury, MA at the Mission Hill School, one of Deborah Meier's storied small schools. I also have tutored students privately for the past 10 years and have volunteered in schools over this period. I love tutoring because it provides me the best perspective in order to understand the issues a scholar is having with a particular area and allows me to tailor my approach to fit the specific need. I also find that the proximity allows me to lift the confidence of the student by cutting away at the insecurity they harbor in not knowing the material. I exceled at math throughout my elementary and high school years, scoring a 730 on the Math portion of the SAT. I scored 100% on all but 2 of my Algebra 2 and Trigonometry exams in High School and all but 3 of my Pre-calculus ones. I've tutored elementary through high school students in mathematics for over 10 years. I have tremendous writing skills, marked by impeccable grammar and expressive ability. I'm a very gifted tutor as a result of my passion for education, strong quantitative abilities, expressive writing and tremendous interpersonal skills. I love inspiring scholars who struggle with confidence by finding the gaps in their understanding and encouraging them through their own realization of their abilities, which leads to a vigorous determination towards continued achievement.

The job was to tutor my daughter in Math who at the time was struggling. She was failing all her test and her teacher tried as did I. When Horace came in he was so patient and understanding, they fell into a very nice rhythm. When she didn't understand the way he was explaining he would find other ways until she got it and he never gave up or got frustrated. She started to pass her class exams and the best was passing her Math and ELA exams . Horace was amazing and I started recommending him to any and everyone. He made such a difference and it helped with my daughters confidence . I highly recommend him for your company
