Math Coaching

It’s tough watching your kid struggle with math. You try to help, but somehow it always ends up… well, stressful (for both of you!). Maybe they think they’ve got it—but when test day comes, things mysteriously fall apart. Or maybe attention and focus are a challenge, and they feel stuck in a dark hole with no idea how to climb out.

But it’s often more than just math—school can be stressful for all sorts of reasons, especially when attention and focus are a challenge. My goal is to help students discover how they learn best and begin to feel good about learning again.

what parents and students say…

  • Tina is a great resource for anyone in need of any kind of math support; she can bring both sanity and joy to the math learning process!

    Annie, Parent

  • Tina's impact has been profound. She's been able to match her teaching to my son's learning "style", and "gets him" in a way that breaks through.

    Matt, Parent

  • Not only did Tina teach me each week's worth of material in our hour-long session, but any test stress, or other stress for that matter, vanished.

    Mirenna, hs junior

  • Her depth of knowledge and her ability to read his non-verbal cues were key in zeroing in on areas that needed work.

    Sarah, parent

  • Not only has Tina been helpful with academic challenges but she’s helped him improve his organizational skills, planning, and confidence in himself.  He’s starting to clarify his goals and interests.  

    Parent

  • Our son genuinely enjoys working with her as do my husband and I.  The combination of her counseling skills and her tutoring have been invaluable during a very challenging time for our family.

    Parent

  • As a parent and former teacher, Tina “get’s it” on multiple levels – academic, institutional and social.  She will help your child grasp or master the concept at hand, and she will help you (the parent) by diminishing conflict with your child... It’s a win-win all around.

    parent

  • She also tutored me for the SAT, and my score was 380 better than my initial PSAT. She helped me relive my stress around the test, and tackle problems with confidence

    Amalia, student

  • My son already had a fairly high SAT score, but after working with Tina his score improved by 130 points. Tina has a very calm demeanor, a style that suited my son perfectly -- especially given the daily challenges and workload of attending a college prep high school

    Teri P parent

  • Tina presented me with multiple routes to take for each mathematical concept, and allowed me to choose the route I liked best. She made me enjoy a class that I originally found dry and boring.

    Shanti, student

  • Tina is NOT your regular math tutor, nor is she one of those subscribers to a "system". Rather she is a math counsellor, someone who really learns the way your kid works and finds the ways to reach them.

    Matt, parent

I’ve helped hundreds of kids feel better about math and themselves.

For over 40 years, I’ve been working with students, K–12+, who struggle with math. Sometimes that means figuring out fractions, sometimes it’s factoring quadratics, and sometimes tackling the dreaded SAT.
