one-on-one math tutoring

ABOUT CHRISTINE

My name is Christine Higgins and I’d love to help you achieve your academic goals in math and beyond. I love math - always have! And I absolutely get it if you think that makes me a little crazy. Working together, I’d like to show you or your student how we can breakdown the math concepts, set achievable goals, and reinforce lifelong study habits. Math isn’t everybodys “thing” is that is perfectly fine! (my thing is not science or French!) - so my approach is personal and tailored to each student’s personality and strengths. My 1-on-1 tutoring is built on getting to know each student and building a relationship that goes beyond one concept or one test.

What is "virtual tutoring"?

We will use a web-based whiteboard software so that we can view problems and work together on solutions. As a tutor, I expect my students to do a lot of the "work" of the math problems. That is, they need to use their pencil and paper, either literal or virtual, to do the work with my help, guidance and support. A touchscreen laptop or tablet with a stylus is helpful for this purpose, to be able to write and draw with greater precision. However, we can make modifications to make tutoring work without these tools as well. At minimum, we would need a computer with internet access and either a microphone or phone for audio communication.

How do I get started?

Fill out our Getting Started form and we will set up a FREE 15 minute video conferencing consultation to discuss your needs and determine if we are a good fit!

what does a session look like?

In our session, the student will have the opportunity to present assignments (homework, tests, quizzes, etc) that they are struggling with and I will guide them through steps and strategies in an engaging and organized way. The student will be able to access notes from our session for review and follow-up with email questions.

Fill out our Getting Started form here and we'll contact you to walk you through how to prepare for your first session!

what levels of math can you offer tutoring for?

I graduated from Providence College in the Honors program with degrees in both mathematics and quantitative economics. I have tutored peers as a college student and more recently, I've tutored Rhode Island students in person and online in various high school and college math courses, including:

Pre-Algebra and Algebra
Statistics
Geometry
Trigonometry
Pre-Calculus
Calculus (all levels, including AP)

Can you provide references and testimonials?

Absolutely!

How much does it cost?

My hourly rates vary based on course level and package selected. Typically, hourly rates are between $45 and $55 per hour. I require a commitment of 4 hours to begin a tutoring relationship. After the first four hours of tutoring are completed, you'll be invoiced weekly at a flat hourly rate based on services provided.
