Helping High School Students Feel Confident in Math

Algebra 2 • Precalculus • Trigonometry • Calculus
Sharyn expert math tutor

When math feels overwhelming, I help students understand what they're doing, and build confidence again.  Math can be fun when you understand what you are doing!

More Than Getting Through Tonight's Homework

A lot of students come to me unsure of themselves in math. They hesitate, second-guess their answers, or assume they're just not good at it.

​

My goal isn't simply to help them finish the assignment. I want them to become strong, confident math students.

​

Sometimes that means showing them a shortcut that makes a complicated problem suddenly click. Other times, I'll deliberately challenge them to solve something the harder way because I know the skills they're building will make the next chapter easier.

​

With 38 years of tutoring experience, I know which skills students need to master, which shortcuts are worth knowing, and where they're likely to get tripped up on a test. As their skills grow, so does their confidence—and students who once dreaded a topic often discover they actually like it.

​

Yes, I've even had a student tell me she loves logarithms. 😊

​

I don't lower the bar because a student is nervous about math. I give them the support they need to reach it.

We both write on the same screen. Students work through problems themselves while I guide, add notes, draw graphs, and step in when needed.

Online Tutoring That Actually Feels One-on-One

​

If your student has had a bad experience with online tutoring before, this is different. We work together in real time, just like we're sitting at the same table.  I am the only tutor here, and I bring almost 40 years of experience.  I understand what the students need to know, and I can reinforce the main points.  I can also find any holes that need a little extra work.  

​

✓ We work problems together step-by-step
✓ Students can write directly on the screen
✓ Homework and test-prep pages are easy to share
✓ Students can stop me and ask questions at any point

​

It's not a lecture. It's guided problem-solving tailored to your student's learning style.

Personalized Approach

Every student has different gaps. We focus on their sticking points instead of following a one-size-fits-all lesson.

Confidence Building

Students can ask questions, make mistakes, and work through difficult concepts without feeling rushed or embarrassed.

Year-Round Support

Weekly support, test prep, homework help—and same-day sessions when my schedule allows.

Why Students Choose to Get Tutored by Sharyn

I've been tutoring math since 1988, and I still love the moment when something that felt impossible suddenly clicks. I have a degree in Computer Engineering and specialize in helping students understand the why behind the math—not just memorize steps for the next test.
