Experience

I've been a private tutor since 1980. I'm a very clear, patient, and supportive tutor. Math actually makes perfect sense, when it is explained well. One of my clients whom I was tutoring in Statistics said "Are you over-simplifying this?" I said "No, why?". The student responded "Because I can understand it!" I was privileged to have studied with some famously good teachers, and I have modeled my teaching on theirs. I love mathematics, computer science, and physics. I enjoy it when I am not only able to help you get past any fears of math which you might have, not only able to help you see what it's all about and how to do it correctly, but even help you to discover how enjoyable it is! I'm also professionally involved in the arts (see "Hobbies/Interests") and especially good at explaining math and science to non-math, non-science people. (Please note: Because of my tight schedule, I generally cannot travel to tutor. For anyone in or near San Francisco, I am very close to BART and a number of buses, and for anyone else, I have frequently and successfully tutored using Skype or various other online communication.)

Hobbies

I have had a double career, in mathematics and in dance. I performed on national and international tours with a major New York modern dance company, the Nikolais Dance Theater, and since 1991 I have been Artistic Director of my own comic dance company, Run For Your Life!...it's a dance company!, which has also performed many times across the US and in Europe. I also have a background in both Western classical music and Balinese music, being a (part-time) composer and having performed for 10 years with a major Balinese ensemble, Gamelan Sekar Jaya. Because of my interest in the arts, people from outside the math/science world especially seem to enjoy and benefit from my tutoring.
