What I tutor
My experience includes over 30 years of helping each student learn to reach their goal, whether it is a better grade, a higher admissions test score, or catching up after a gap in education.
Pre-algebra | Algebra I | Geometry
I’ve tutored math since 2008, starting with pre-algebra and other basic courses. Then I added ACT, SAT, GRE . . . and still relish the math sections for their precision and teachable complexity.
Knowing the biggest gaps in students’ math knowledge are with the fundamentals, I focus on pre-algebra, algebra I and geometry. Students start enjoying math when they discover it is both learnable and accessible.
ALL Sections of ACT | SAT | GRE | ISEE | PRAXIS | more
I enjoy tutoring every section of standardized tests, such as ACT, SAT, PLAN, Praxis, GRE, ISEE and more. When students learn content and test taking skills from one tutor, they more fully understand the test and how to earn a high score. In addition, I edit college applications essays.
Some of my students who reached overall scores of 34 and 35 on the ACT and in the 98th percentile on SAT. Some have scored in the 30s on their first ACT.
Some students have gained admission to prestigious universities and enticing scholarship offers. Others have reached personal goals, improving college choices and received offers not previously available.
“Pam did wonders with our daughter – not only did she help to increase her test score but she built her confidence in test taking. Prior to starting with Pam, my daughter had tutoring with 3 other tutors…her score was not getting better and she was very discouraged. Pam opened up a new world to her, built her confidence and her test score increased 7 points. We credit Pam with the scholarship offers and college acceptances that would not have been possible otherwise.” Sarah [parent]
