High School Algebra 1 Tutor

My goal for Algebra 1 tutoring is to meet the student where they are in their ongoing curriculum. We can work on extra practice problems, study for quizzes/exams, or complete homework.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I am so excited to meet you! I currently tutor Chemistry, Algebra 1, Algebra 2 and Pre-Calculus. I have been teaching and tutoring these classes for the last 10 years. I graduated from Indiana University with my BS in Biochemistry and Minor in Mathematics. I also went to Purdue University for my MS in Biochemsitry. I love math and science! I enjoy helping students with these challenging classes to do their very best! I homeschool my own five children. I love to camp and hike with my family and play with my sweet bernedoodle, Daisy!
