Hello! I'm Kara. I have one Master's degree in Mathematics Education and one in Mathematical Sciences with a focus on Computation. I have been teaching high school math and computer science courses for 15 years. My favorite part about learning is the moment when a hard concept suddenly makes sense.

Hello! I'm Kara. I have one Master's degree in Mathematics Education and one in Mathematical Sciences with a focus on Computation. I have been teaching high school math and computer science courses for 15 years. My favorite part about learning is the moment when a hard concept suddenly makes sense. It is my joy to help students achieve these moments of success and gain confidence in their abilities. I excel at being able to adjust lessons to various learning styles so that all students can understand.

I love teaching and tutoring in many areas of mathematics. I have tutored many students over the years in everything from Pre-Algebra to college level Calculus. I have taught Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Computer Programming (Java, JavaScript, Python), Precalculus for 4 years (including college level), AP Calculus and college-level Calculus I am also a co-author of a Geometry and a Precalculus textbooks from BJU Press.

I also have a deep passion for computer science. I have an M.S. in Mathematical Sciences from Clemson University with a focus on computation. I have experience in Java, Python, RobotC and other programming languages. I have been a mentor for an FTC Robotics team for 4 years and have taught Introduction to Robotics using the RobotC programming language, Introduction to Programming using the Java programming language and Computer Science Principles using JavaScript. I am also certified to teach AP Computer Science A.

My desire is for students to gain confidence in the mathematical abilities and reasoning skills. I welcome suggestions and resources from students, their parents and their teachers. Feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule a lesson.

Excellent Online Help

Kara tutored my son in Geometry, and was able to identify that his underlying struggle was really with his weak algebra skills. She was knowledgeable and patient, and available on short notice. That was a huge help. We will definitely call Kara again!

Phyllis , 1 lesson with Kara

Happy daughter happy mom

My daughter finished the lesson with a big smile on her face. She really like Kara and feels much more confident in the area she had problems with. Kara is very knowlegeable according to my daughter. Now I just wish Kara can squeeze us into her busy schedule in the future. Thank you so much.

Sara, 1 lesson with Kara

Great tutor!

Kara has been working with our 10th grade daughter since the Fall 2017 for Math-III Honors. Our daughter really enjoys working with Kara and is able to understand and comprehend the concepts in more detail. Kara is a really great tutor and she works quite well with our daughter.

Shane, 27 lessons with Kara

Kelly, 6 lessons with Kara

Very Patient and Friendly

She helped me with a whole bunch of individual questions, and walked me through the solutions while explaining the concepts behind them. Would definitely tutor with her again!

Sophia, 1 lesson with Kara

Very patient and knows her stuff.

Kara was a huge help in getting my daughter over the wall she had hit in her algebra lessons. My daughter came away from her first session feeling much more confident in her ability to solve motion word problems.

Susan, 1 lesson with Kara

Excellent math tutor

Kara helped me go over and learn geometry concepts to help me in preparation for the GRE. She also provided me with worksheets and formulas to practice with. Very helpful, knowledgeable, and patient.

Josh, 4 lessons with Kara

Very Helpful

My daughter was very pleased with Kara. She was very helpful with the areas she was weak in and now she feels confident going back to class. I would recommend her to anyone else and we will going back to her if she needs help.
