Beverly

I am a career educator with 27 years of classroom experience specializing in middle school mathematics. My passion lies in helping students master the foundational concepts of Pre-Algebra and Algebra I, turning complex equations into moments where students succeed. Having taught grades 5-8 for nearly three decades, I have a deep understanding of where students typically struggle and how to bridge those gaps effectively. I tutor Math for elementary and middle school students.

Tutoring Style

With 27 years in the classroom, I have developed a patient, structured tutoring style that takes the 'scary' out of math. I specialize in identifying the specific gaps in a student's understanding and bridging them through clear, step-by-step instruction. I believe in creating a supportive environment where questions are encouraged and success is built one problem at a time.

Success Story

Math:

One of my favorite success stories involved a 7th-grade student who began the semester convinced they 'just couldn't do' math. To build their confidence, I placed them in a small, supportive tutoring group that met weekly to break down concepts into simple, logical steps. While they finished the term with a solid C, the real victory was the shift in their mindset. By the end of our sessions, the student told me that while math still wasn't their favorite subject, they finally knew they were capable of doing it. Seeing that spark of self-belief is exactly why I love teaching middle school math.

Hobbies & Interests

I love spending time outdoors, whether it's boating on the water or going RV camping with family. I am deeply passionate about animal welfare and dedicate much of my free time to working in animal rescue. My home is full of love from my own pets, and I find that these experiences keep me grounded and energized.
