About Mary

I am changing careers and looking forward to getting back to work that I love: teaching. After graduating with a BS in Applied Physics, I tutored students for several years in math. I have a wide variety of life and professional experience, spanning over 30 years, mainly with non-profit organizations (university, biomedical research, parks department) which has prepared me well as a tutor. Many people, no matter their age, seem to have a "fear of math," which can be so easy to succumb to, creating a lack of confidence that can seriously inhibit learning. Let's not do that! I create a positive and encouraging learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. Regardless of whether it's math, science, or....? Together we'll work through challenges and build skills, one step at a time. Alternative topics: cooking, sewing, gardening, fabric arts Education: BS Applied Physics, Xavier University
