I'm Bernard! I graduated with a 3.67 out of 4.0 GPA in graduate school while I was studying for my Masters of Science in Business. I became certified to teach math by taking a concentration of courses at the University of Delaware and later at Marshall University.

I'm Bernard! I graduated with a 3.67 out of 4.0 GPA in graduate school while I was studying for my Masters of Science in Business. I became certified to teach math by taking a concentration of courses at the University of Delaware and later at Marshall University. During my graduate and undergraduate course time, I found out that, like me, a lot of my classmates were intimidated by mathematics. This was the case because although the instructors knew what they were talking about, they often went too fast and didn't bring their knowledge of the material down to a level where we could understand its content and then process it successfully. As a result, I became frustrated and ended up spending much more time searching for a methodology to understand the course material than I originally intended. Therefore, the instructors of certain classes that I took, had a lot to do with my attitude and motivation, as well as how I performed. I also found that if the instructor would go the extra mile and be available for the extra help I needed to succeed, I would put more effort into the quality of work that I would produce in the class. I later found this to be the case as I worked with middle and high school students throughout my teaching career.
In my tutoring approach, I try to bring this ideal alive through making the sessions fun, personal and thorough. I talk with my students about what areas they need more practice in, then design an academic plan around their feedback. I often use the materials that the student brings to the session or use the materials that the student is using, at that time, in their class; then supplement it with extra practice and review. Between sessions, if needed, I'll provide students with additional assignments to complete independently for practice and review during the next session.

I have over five years tutoring experience in a multi-grade, multi-level math classroom. I have worked individually with any student who needed assistance, but also have had small direct

geometry

Bernard is always a pleasure to have over tutoring. Ever professional but relaxed and easy going. Both of my children have had great success with Bernard's instruction, but also enjoy it as well.

Great Tutor!

Bernie helped my son understand the current concepts he was supposed to be learning in school. My son's algebra teacher doesn't really teach so having Bernie's help has been a big lift.

Stephanie, 6 lessons with Bernard

Great person and math tutor

Barnard is a great person and math tutor. He has been patient and kind to connect with my daughter and understand her gaps and needs, while supporting her in overcoming some of those gaps and progressing through her 7th grade math. In this first month of school, they have covered topics like proportions, percentages, decimals, ratios, and basic algebraic expressions. Sofia is making very good progress. We appreciate very much Barnards help and guidance.

Always excellent. Bernard has a calm demeanor which aids in the effectiveness of lessons. His ability to beak down instruction into bite size steps, makes it easier for my son to understand and build on his knowledge.
