Adam’s expertise in math, combined with his genuine enthusiasm for learning, make him an invaluable asset for any student looking to catch up, keep up, or get ahead.

Clyde K.

Clyde Kertzer is a Boulder native with more than seven years of tutoring experience.

At Fairview High School, Clyde founded the number theory club to share his love for the subject with his classmates. He continued pursuing number theory at CU Boulder and is now a published mathematician.

Clyde believes that the “creativity of mathematics” is not only severely overlooked in modern math education — it’s the most important piece in a student’s understanding of mathematics. Moreover, he believes that this application of “creativity” is not some fringe math theory, but an important skill to be learned.

When Clyde’s not doing math, he’s probably playing soccer or hockey, watching the USMNT (U.S. men’s national soccer team), or playing the  trombone.

“Mathematics is not a contemplative, but a creative subject” — G. H. Hardy

Tangelica C.

Tangelica strives to help students achieve the self-confidence they need to succeed in school — and beyond. She supports students with their academics (reading, writing, and grammar), but also with their motivation, organization, study skills, self-reliance, and perseverance.

She thrives on helpings students learn how to fill in their learning gaps, because the skills learned in overcoming those “gaps” are often the ones that will help them succeed in all their future endeavors.

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.
