Hi, my name is Beth, and I am a full-time online math tutor. I am passionate about providing math help to students all over the world! I’ve been creating math videos since 2014 as a way to help parents when their kids need help with math homework. A lot of the clients I work with tell me that they don't understand some of the alternative methods that are being taught in schools. Well, I'm here to help with that! I love that there are so many different methods for solving math problems. Students learn in a variety of ways, so why not have a variety of methods?! As a former teacher, now full-time tutor, I enjoy creating and playing math games and activities with students to help them unlock those tricky math skills.
