Math Tutoring Overview
Math does not have to feel like a constant source of stress. When a student falls behind or starts to believe they are "just not a math person," every quiz, homework assignment, and report card can feel heavier than it needs to.
Through Purpose Tutoring, I help students rebuild their skills, understand the "why" behind the steps, and regain confidence so they can walk into math class feeling capable again.
Perfect for:
Middle and high school students in Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Precalculus, and Calculus
Honors or AP students who want to maintain strong grades
Students who feel lost or anxious in math, even if they have done well in the past
Learners who understand math in class but get stuck on homework, tests, or word problems

Conceptual understanding, not just memorizing steps
Students learn what a process means and why it works so they can adapt, not just repeat.Clear, step by step explanations
I slow things down, unpack the language of the problem, and model how a strong math student thinks.Problem solving habits that transfer
We practice how to read questions carefully, organize work, and check answers without needing a tutor beside them.Test and quiz preparation
Students learn how to review effectively, avoid common traps, and manage their time on assessments.Confidence and mindset
A big part of math success is believing "I can figure this out." I help students rebuild that belief through small wins and clear progress.
Math Subjects I Tutor
I work with students in middle school through early college on a wide range of topics, including:
Elementary Level Arithmetic
Pre-Algebra and foundational skills
Algebra 1
Geometry
Algebra 2
Trigonometry
Precalculus
Calculus (high school or intro college level)
Integrated math courses
SAT and ACT math review
General homework help, test prep, and catching up after gaps
If you are not sure whether your student’s course fits, feel free to ask in a quick consult.
How We Can Work Together
1. Ongoing Weekly Math Coaching
Best for students who need steady support throughout the semester or school year.
Regular weekly sessions focused on current class material
Time for both homework support and filling in older gaps
Short check-ins about upcoming tests, projects, and deadlines
A consistent routine that keeps students from falling behind
2. Short Term Boost: Tests, Finals, and Specific Topics
Best for students who are generally doing fine, but need support for a specific hurdle.
Targeted help before a unit test, midterm, or final exam
Focused review of one or two challenging topics
Strategy for how to study and what to prioritize
Can be a bridge into ongoing weekly coaching if needed

What A Typical Session Looks Like
Every student is different, but a typical session often includes:
Quick check-in
How did this week feel in math class? Any wins, frustrations, or surprises?Review of recent work
We look at homework, quizzes, or past tests to see what is sticking and where the breakdowns are.Focused teaching and practice
I re-teach key concepts in a clear, calm way, then we work through problems together, step by step.Guided independent practice
The student tries similar problems on their own while I coach their process and thinking.Wrap up and next steps
We summarize what clicked, what to watch out for, and what to do before the next session.
Results You Can Expect
Families often notice:
Higher quiz and test scores
Less stress and fewer tears around math homework
A student who asks better questions in class
Improved organization and study habits that carry into other subjects
A shift from "I hate math" to "I kind of get this now" and eventually "I can do this"
My goal is not just to help students survive this year’s math class, but to help them build skills that will serve them in future courses too.
