Debbie has been an amazing tutor! Very patient, kind, and incredibly understanding. I struggle a lot with understanding both concepts and actual math, but she takes the time to explain things as many times as I need. She never makes me feel stupid and is incredibly knowledgeable. She goes above and beyond with supplemental resources and fast communication. I cannot recommend enough!

Details: Undergraduate school • Calculus • 18 - 25 years old • Improve grades at school • Learn new topics and techniques • As recommended by teacher • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc. • Remotely (phone or internet)

Debbie was everything you would expect in a tutor. She went above and beyond to ensure that my son learned what he needed to succeed in his college calculus course even scheduling extra hours to assist in preparing for exams. I would highly recommend Debbie if you are looking for the best!!

Debbie increased my daughter's math SAT score by 90 points in just four 1-hr tutoring sessions! She has an excellent way of maximizing your SAT scores with the right approach to answering the questions.

My son's test scores have improved after we began tutoring sessions with Deb. She is very accommodating when a lesson time has to be changed. Deb encourages her students to reach out to her at any time if they are struggling with something, so they will not have to wait until their next lesson.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge $60 per hour.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Math and science depends a lot on practicing problems. We work through homework or textbook problems. When the student breezes through a problem, I know what he knows. When he gets stuck on a problem, then we have identified subject matter that we need to review. I start at the beginning and explain. My most important job is to watch and listen to know what the student understands and where there are holes in the material that we need to correct.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a BS and MS in chemical engineering from Rensselaer and Carnegie-Mellon. I spent 40 years as an engineer in a chemical plant. I have a lot of experience with practical and academic math and chemistry and more importantly, I have experience in the people skills of communicating and listening.
