Tutoring

Does your child need a little extra boost? Are you lost trying to help him or her get through the next topic in math? Is your family lost in a sea of what’s-up-with-that-new-math-stuff?

I have limited availability these days for tutoring and consulting. You can hire me to

tutor your child
teach you how to navigate the new math
tutor your child and teach you how to navigate the new math, so you can help with math homework long term! (in beta – so you get a discount if you choose this option)

I have taught and tutored math to over 15,000 children and adults in living rooms, classrooms and conferences for 25 years. See my full bio here.

What others say

Bon worked with both of my sons during their middle school and high school years. She helped them with accelerated math classes, algebra through calculus. Bon is dedicated, energetic and inspiring with students. My sons are now college students studying pre-med and engineering and have Bon to thank for their strong foundation in mathematics.

Thank you for teaching how to do math and not how to use a calculator. I was so worried about taking the THEA because everyone I know kept telling me how hard the math part was. Well I sat down to take the test and the first page has all the formulas and I was like “ok where is the hard part?” … I am so thankful that I had you as my teacher for Algebra.

– Kellie Drexler, adult student

I regularly visit your site for great math inspiration and always like to hear your input and advice through the Living Math forum. I love what you bring to math! It’s contagious. Thank you.
