About
First of all, I know math inside out. Secondly, I actually enjoy working with students. And thirdly, I am told by students that I explain things a lot more simply than their teachers and other tutors. For 20 years I have enjoyed working with students to improve their Math skills and confidence. Both my B.S. and M.S. degrees are in Applied Math. I offer private MATH tutoring for students in grades K through college, with both remedial and enrichment foci. At upper levels, I handle all topics in Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, Trigonometry, and College Math and Algebra. I also conduct test prep. Since I currently substitute teach for public schools, I frequently see exactly what topics and methods the schools cover. I believe in meeting the student wherever his/her knowledge level is, and then building from that point. "Building fun from fundamentals" is my motto. While a math problem may have one and only one answer, there may be several valid avenues to arrive at that answer. The process is as interesting as the end. Also important is checking answers for reasonableness. I enjoy working with students of all ages and abilities. I get to witness their growth in skills and confidence. Together we explore the wonderful world of patterns. We build and utilize patterns and prior knowledge to resolve practical problems and conquer math puzzles. And a student's success really is FUN.

My daughter was struggling with her math skills throughout her 2nd grade year and lost any confidence she had to complete a math word problem. For the summer, I decided to hire Nancy to help keep math top of mind for her and to get her comfortable wtih the upcoming school year. I can say in the two months of attendance, I have seen a significant difference. Nancy's approach is beyond what I was expecting from a tutor and she has made my daughter comfortable and excited to attend her sessions. Nancy is not only organized and professional, her method of teaching and how she informs the parents has been impressive. I'm looking forward to my daughter's continued growth and development in math-thanks to the help of Nancy.

We are still working with her. So far my daughter is getting something out of her tutoring. I believe Nancy will help my daughter be prepared for 8th grade math.

Mrs. Alexander was very accommodating and fit me in at the last minute. She was able to breakdown different math processes/steps so that I was able to understand solving the problems and her patience was remarkable. Excellent instructions and I highly recommend her!!

Nancy is an amazing tutor!!!! My son is an active 9 year old boy with ADHD and she is able to teach him math fundamentals without having any major melt downs. Any mom that works with her ADHD child understands they can easily overstimulate and shut down. Mrs. Alexander, redirects him and shows him to to get back on task while keeping his self-esteem intact. My child is very excited to show his new math skills in the fourth grade!!!!
