About Courtney

I have been a writing tutor for eight years at three different universities and have taught college composition for two years. During this time, I have worked with students who are non-native English speakers or students with learning disabilities. With these students, I like to build up their skills, starting by identifying their strengths and encouraging them and then building on their weaknesses. While writing is my passion, I have always had a knack for math, even now. Finding X is really fun for me! Algebra is my jam. But I can help students with different areas of math. With math, I like to work together with students to figure out step-by-step how to solve the problem, so that they can solve similar equations later on. I like to make up equations myself, if possible, to emphasize their understanding of the material.
