About Billie

Bio

I am a UCI honors graduate in mathematics with a minor in computer science. I started tutoring as a favor for a friend and have found that tutoring is one of the most rewarding experiences I can have. Many of my students have gone from D's with no understanding to A's with the ability to peer tutor their classmates. It is always wonderful to enter a student's home and hear "I got an A on the test!" or "the teacher says I am her most improved student."

I am a UCI honors graduate in mathematics with a minor in computer science. I started tutoring as a favor for a friend and have found that tutoring is one of the most rewarding experiences I can have. Many of my students have gone from D's with no understanding to A's with the ability to peer tutor their classmates. It is always wonderful to enter a student's home and hear "I got an A on the test!" or "the teacher says I am her most improved student."

I look for the concepts that students may not have totally grasped and help them get up to speed so that future classes are easy and fun. Most of my students continue to call me back on an "as needed" basis when they don't understand some one concept in class, even in college. I frequently am recommended by parents to friends and family members.

Precalculus,

Precalculus

In my opinion, Pre-Calculus is the most difficult math class offered at the high school level. The trigonometry portion presents many new and difficult concepts, but the algebra portion takes everything from Algebra II deeper making everything very complex and solving problems you don't really see any reason to solve. In truth, the main objective is to solidify your Algebra skills. Most of the problems that are presented are much more easily solved in Calculus next year.
SAT Math,

SAT Math

There are several easy things that you can do to help your SAT math score. Knowing the Pythagorean triples will make several problems easier. Understanding basic Geometry, the formulas, and principles are also helpful. Using a book to learn the types of problems is good, memorizing the specific problems is not. Once you know which problems you are having problems with, it is important to learn how to solve all similar problems. The books are always easier than the test.

Very patient and excellent tutor

My daughter was learning Algebra 2 and she was very patient and understanding the needs of her to provide an excellent training. Thank you for your time and appreciate your assistance.

Great Tutor

Billie helped my son review some Geometry concepts that he had missed in class. She was very patient and was able to explain the steps. He walked away feeling comfortable that he understood the material. I would definitely recommend her as a math tutor.

Billie consistently helps our son with Honors Precalculus. She supplements the teacher's instruction and pushes him to apply what he has learned with more difficult problems to prepare him for quizzes and exams. She is bright and friendly.

Billie helps me with my pre-calculus. she is patient and explains things so i can understand them. thankful to have found her. the best part is that she is willing to meet you at a location or home which really helps a lot.

Bridget, 5 lessons with Billie

Very patient and kind!

Billie was very patient and helped walk me through each question that I had. Math is not my strong suit so I have even the simplest questions to ask. I left my lesson understanding every question that I had and with confidence that I can do it on my own.

Very knowledgeable and kind tutor

Billie was very patient and kind while tutoring my son who is a high school freshman struggling with the transition to a new class and teacher. She took her time helping him work through and solve math problems to prepare his upcoming test and explained some concepts he was having trouble with. She was very flexible with a last minute change in plans on our meeting location. Overall a very intelligent and kind person and we will use her services again!
