Tracy S.

Tracy has a B.S. in mathematics at Arkansas State University and a M.S. in Education a Northcentral University.

In her 23 years of teaching algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus, her greatest satisfaction is having former students (especially the ones who struggled) tell her that she was the one teacher who believed in them, and that made all the difference.

Tracy’s approach to tutoring is very similar.  She doesn’t just teach math — she teaches students of all ages how to think and reason.

She truly believe that confidence is the key to success — in school and in life. That’s why Tracy always begins each tutoring assignment with an assessment of what each student knows and doesn’t know. She then builds on that information as students go from confusion to confidence, confidence to competence, and competence to mastery.
