Hello! You can call me Ms. Blair. I have a degree in Economics
and Mathematics from Cal State University, Northridge and I’ve
been tutoring math for over 20 years 😮. When I was in high
school, I never liked math, but I really enjoy helping student
learn that they can learn anything, including all sorts of
math. Math is a language and the more languages you know, the
more you can understand the world. Like they say in the movie
Mean Girls, it’s the universal language. In my free time, I
like to be active when I’m outdoors and watch cartoons and
YouTube when I’m in doors. Send me a request for tutoring! I’d
love to help you love math too!

Hello! I’m Mr. Miguel and I am an Online Tutor. I went to Cal
State Northridge where I got my degree in Child and Adolescent
Development. I think it’s easy to trick yourself into
believing that you can’t do something, so what I love about
tutoring is that it helps students gain confidence. I have a
motto: Every problem has a solution; you just have to find it.
I enjoy traveling to new places! The world is too big to not
explore. I also love watching movies. Suspense and horror are
my favorite. And overall, I just love making new memories with
friends and family.
