Bio

Mathematics and Music go together! I have 20 years of mathematics tutoring experience; and in addition, I have been a harp and violin teacher for 15 years. Simply put, being an educator is my specialty. Working with individuals to reach their potential is what I do best. I hope to work with you so you can experience the satisfaction of the "ah ha!" moment. My teaching philosophy is that quality teaching is founded upon knowing and understanding the student.

Mathematics and Music go together! I have 20 years of mathematics tutoring experience; and in addition, I have been a harp and violin teacher for 15 years. Simply put, being an educator is my specialty. Working with individuals to reach their potential is what I do best. I hope to work with you so you can experience the satisfaction of the "ah ha!" moment. My teaching philosophy is that quality teaching is founded upon knowing and understanding the student.

I have a Masters in Mathematics from University of Washington Seattle and double Majors in Mathematics and Conservation Biology from University of Wisconsin Madison. I have tutored extensively the following subjects: Algebra, Pre-calculus, Calculus 1, Calculus 2, Calculus 3, Linear Algebra, and Differential Equations. I have a plethora of study materials gathered and created from 20 years of tutoring math with students from a wide array of universities and community colleges.

As a musician, I am a registered Suzuki Teacher through the Suzuki Association of the Americas with accreditation in Harp, Violin, and Early Childhood Education. I studied harp pedagogy with Mary Kay Waddington, founder of the Suzuki Harp Method, at the Utah Suzuki Harp Institute and the American Suzuki Institute. I advocate that being a musician is just as much a physical pursuit as well as an intellectual pursuit. Therefore, my teaching emphasizes the efficient use of the body’s biomechanics to produce a high calibre tone while avoiding injury.

I have presented solo recitals at the Keweenaw Heritage Center at St. Anne’s, appeared as guest artist several times with the Michigan Tech Choirs, performed with the Pine Mountain Music Festival Orchestra on occasions, and performed with the Keweenaw Symphony Orchestra from 2007 to 2019.

Sidney will definitely improve your understanding of calculus and help improve your overall grade

I came to Sidney because I was struggling with Calculus 2 and was starting Calculus 3 and I wanted to get off on a good note. My first test when I was just starting with Sidney was an 84 but then my last test with her I got a 96. You will improve your score when you have her as a tutor because you will fully understand how to do every step of the problem. I would definitely recommend using Sidney as a tutor.

thank you!

Sidney has helped me a lot in Calculus 3! I was struggling a lot in class at the beginning but after her worksheets and detailed explanations, I was able to understand the concepts behind each lesson thanks to her patience and thoughtfulness! She has plenty of good worksheets and she always checks your work really carefully, which I was really grateful for!

Outstanding Calc 3 Tutor

Sidney tutored me in Calculus 3 and she went above and beyond to ensure that I mastered the material. She was always well prepared and able to answer any question I had. She explained complex concepts in a way I could understand, and worked with me on them until I could successfully work the problems on my own. I went up a full letter grade after I started working with her. An easy 5 star review.
