I graduated from Drexel University with honors and also from GWC Engineering and Science in Philadelphia with honors.

Hi everyone! My name is Vania and I have been tutoring in Algebra and Pre-Algebra for over 20 years. I graduated from Drexel University with honors and also from GWC Engineering and Science in Philadelphia with honors. Math has always been a strong subject and I have had nothing but success with my students. My love for math is infectious! I have had many students who initially hated math, now view Math as one of their favorite subjects. I am a former Middle School math teacher at a Friends School in NJ. I currently have a Marketing business and tutor students in my spare time.

I have several methods for helping students understand math concepts, depending on how they learn. I am a strong believer that not every child learns the same. I have a son who is one of those children and I use visual, musical and tactile methods to help him learn and grasp concepts in Algebra. This is equivalent to UDL methods, which I've used in my classroom and with those I tutor.

If you are looking for a patient, effective tutor with experience teaching all types of learners, then look no further and get in touch! I guarantee you will see improvement in your child's grades.

I tutor 3rd - 5th grade students independently already. I also teach 6th grade math at Friends School in Mullica Hill. My tutoring methods include completing an assessment first on quantitative reasoning, number sense and comparisons, procedural knowledge and problem solving. Then I identify the areas of weakness and work on strengthening those areas.

Really nice working with Vania

Great work very patient and thoughtful. No complaints by me or my son. Definitely worth the time and the money.

Edward, 1 lesson with Vania

Great Tutor

The day after the lesson, my son got a 100 in his math test. She makes a huge difference!!! I'll continue to get her help until he graduates college, and he is only in the 6th grade (lol).

Toriano, 2 lessons with Vania

Great tutor!

Vania worked very well with my daughter. It was a comfortable no-stress math session that made it very easy for my daughter to learn. My daughter is able to learn at her own pace. Vania did a great job!

Chanin, 5 lessons with Vania

Excellent First Session

Vania was very patient and polite. She made sure she was able to find the best way for my daughter to understand the problems she was working on and I can't wait to work with her again.

Keisha , 6 lessons with Vania

Highly recommended!!

We had a last minute tutoring session with Vania. She keeps us updated on what Jaidon needs to focus on. Needless to say he aced his test with a 88.6 which I am ecstatic about because he has struggled severely in math these last 4 yrs!! He is becoming more confident in himself & focusing on making honor roll!!

Aisha, 1 lesson with Vania

Clearly competent, very likeable tutor

Vania is tutoring my daughter in Math (Algebra I, Algebra II & Trig). I was very clear with my daughter that I want her to be comfortable with whatever tutor we choose, because I want no distractions from the learning process. At our initial meeting, my daughter was smiling and engaged in the conversation, telling me that my teen liked the tutor. She did not sit there on her phone while Vania and I spoke, rather was an active part of the conversation, which is big for her. At the first lesson, Vania reviewed my daughter's knowledge base, then made recommendations on how she could remember key rules and principles. She was clearly comfortable with the subject matter and knew her stuff. She was also very patient with my daughter as she tried to remember the information, as she has been off all summer and also did not have math last semester in high school. We are quite pleased and my daughter feels Vania can help her a lot. She even asked me if she can continue tutoring with Vania even after the school year starts. Great start!

Ken, 11 lessons with Vania

Great tutor

Ms. Vania has been very helpful to my son. He has a much better understanding of Pre-Algebra, which has given him more confidence in his class. Vania has been accommodating with her availability and explains everything that her and my son worked on during the session. My son is comfortable with her teaching style and I'm glad to know he is improving.

Nicole, 2 lessons with Vania

Amazing Tutor!!

Vania was very prompt to respond to my request for a tutor for my daughter. She contacted via text and we spoke the next morning. During our conversation we conversed about the help my daughter needed with algebra & she provided in brief, some tactics she uses to make "it stick" using real life applications. I knew right away after speaking with her the help she would provide would be exactly what I was looking for. She did not only meet, but exceed my expectations. We look forward to our next session with Vania.
