For some people, math can feel like the bane of their high school or collegiate experience. Maybe you need to take a pre-cal class for your teaching degree, or maybe the school of business requires that you take calculus, or maybe it would just feel nice to not worry about falling behind.

I’ve been there, and I want to let you know that you don’t need to struggle with math. Most people, including myself, have been through courses that they thought they may never pass. The work load is heavy, the teachers are unclear, and most nights are spent pulling your hair out over a textbook.

The truth is that a good teacher can make all the difference. Having a real person in front of you who can give understandable explanations to problems has the potential to make or break any math class. Subjects that at first seemed nonsensical and arbitrary can become clear and concise with the right tutor.

I know what it feels like to worry about math, and throughout the years I have gathered methods and techniques to make even the most frustrating topics understandable. Math can become a beautiful subject when explained clearly, and with a little bit of help, anybody can become a good mathematician.
