GRE

I have worked w all levels of students from those who are still taking college classes to those who have been in the professional world and haven't taken a math course in 10+ years. I have taught many students the basics as well as advanced topics up to and including calculus. I use the approach that there are multiple ways to solve a problem and there are more efficient ways to solve it under time constraints. I point out the different approaches that work best for each type of problem. Grad school and the GRE require advanced thinking and I can help you get there.

Prealgebra,

Prealgebra

Prealgebra is is foundation to a students' mathematical journey. It is usually at this stage where students either blossom or wither. I have helped 100s of struggling students overcome their fear of math and I've also advanced students to the phases where they are successful in advanced mathematics. I have coached hundreds of students through this phase, including my own children. (I currently have twins with learning disabilities each having earning an A in this enriched course). It is the best place to start tutoring in prealgebra, because if you don't grasp these concepts, the higher levels of math can be difficult.
Precalculus,

I am a mom of Special education 7th grade twins as well as having spent time tutoring several Sp Ed students. I am an executive officer of the Special Education parent group and have worked w many children of varying needs. I have successfully tutored those w ADHD, dyslexia, as well as anxiety disorders. I find that despite some areas of difficulty, these students tend to be the most hard working children and w a little bit of encouragement and guidance, can reach enormous potential.

Knowledgeable and accommodating Tutor

Karin has worked with my son for 3 years. She has helped him from algebra 2, pre cal and currently Calculus. She has always been very patient with him. When my son has a test or quiz and needed extra help, Karin will always try to accommodate him. We have worked with a couple of math tutors in the past, my son prefers how Karin teaches and explains concepts and solutions to him. Karin has been a great tutor for my son. She enhances his love for Math.
