If you were stranded on a deserted island, could you reinvent Algebra? Calculus? Trigonometry?

I could!

Not that that would be the most practical thing to do, but once you understand the basic concepts, you will be able to do the same.

I am a strong believer in understanding concepts and knowing fundamentals, NOT in doing math by rote. I will certainly help you get your homework done and get better grades, but I will also make sure that you understand it!

I teach students techniques...

Sharon taught my daughter calculus and was so clear and knowledgeable. She clarified the concepts and built her confidence up. calculus is finally starting to click now.

Sharon was able to establish trust and communication with my shy daughter. She is still active with teaching math, and enjoys when a student grasps a concept. Daughter will give her own review later - but the fact she didn't dread going to our appointments, speaks volumes!

Sharon made my daughter feel so comfortable and she really built up her confidence. That?s half the batter with math. I?m thankful for the opportunity my daughter has to work with her.

My daughter wanted some intensive math review the week before taking her SAT since she was a bit rusty, having not taken math for nearly a year. Sharon to the rescue! She knew the material cold, was able to present and explain it, answer all questions, and give effective test-taking strategies. And she was able to work with my daughter's limited availability. Was enough rust removed to get a good score on the test? Too soon to know -- but if not, that's because it's pretty tough to cover all the material sufficiently in depth in a week. Next time (if there is a next time), we'll be sure to start sooner -- and definitely with Sharon!

So appreciative of Sharon's ability to be available to help may daughter with precalc study (for USC!). A lifesaver! Thank you so much for the time and effort spent with my daughter today.

Sharon helped my daughter with Geometry. My daughter went to school the next day and not only understood all that she learned the night before with Sharon, my daughter helped other students in class. My daughter?s quote, ?I woke up the next morning understanding everything Sharon taught me and I was helping other students in class?. Sharon is a keeper. We will be seeing her weekly now. Thank you Sharon! You are an amazing teacher!
- Donna D. from Camarillo, CA
Sharon helped my daughter get up to speed in the first session after she started falling behind in her honors geometry class. It's good for us but maybe not so good for Sharon's business :) Thanks you so much!

Sharon reviewed beginning calculus problems. Helped solve homework problems and reviewed teachers notes. Was on time and polite. Gave information on how review algebra

Sharon is very professional. She always arrives on time, she knows what she's talking about and tailors the instruction to my daughter's needs. She always finds out what my daughter is struggling with as well as what she is comfortable with, and builds on what she knows to expand into what she doesn't know. She is personable and interested in my daughter's life in general but doesn't waste a lot of time on it. One other thing she does is she doesn't force feed the instruction but rather "discovers" the solutions with my daughter. This helps her overcome her math anxiety and gain confidence in problem solving in general. Sharon is a great teacher.
- Sidney Y. from Westlake Village, CA
Sharon is incredibly helpful and knows exactly how to gage your level of understanding to fit instruction based on that assessment. A huge help!
- Barbara S. from Westlake Village, CA
Sharon is an outstanding tutor with 100% mastery of math. She is kind, patient and best of all innovative in her approach to tutoring. She has been a wonderful asset in helping our child achieve her goals of an "A" in math.
- Sheri P. from Thousand Oaks, CA
Sharon was in tune with what the SAT Math requirements are and helped my daughter improve her SAT Math score. She was fair and never charged us extra. She was flexible and great to work with. I definitely recommend her and thank her for her support and guidance!!
