WELCOME
Hello everyone and welcome to Miss Lando’s math tutoring.
If you’re having difficulty with any of your math classes, or if you wish to raise your grade, give me a call, or if you’re under 18, ask your parents to give me a call, first.
I specialize in basic math through second semester (that’s college) or second year (high school) calculus, which includes those classes in between such as geometry, trigonometry—both elementary and analytic, pre-calculus and finite math. And I’ve also worked with other adult students who may need to pass math tests for college or graduate entrance exams or in order to become certified in a particular trade or profession.
I incorporate study skills and test preparation into my work, which can make all the difference for improving comprehension and performance.
I tutor locally from Redwood Shores to Burlingame/Millbrae, but can go a little further in either direction, depending on scheduling and freeway access.
And while mathematics may not be the thing that you’re in love with, if you’re a student who is motivated to do well (despite being discouraged in the past), if you’re willing to apply your excellent study skills or to learn new study skills and test preparation that can improve your math performance, then I would love to hear from you.

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
As an educator with over twenty years teaching and administrative experience, I have had the privilege of working with students and families in the Bay Area in both the performing arts and academics.
During that time, I have continued my academic education, but the best education I've ever received has come from the students themselves. Over the years, I've been fortunate to have the opportunity to work with individuals from diverse age groups (preschoolers to senior citizens), diverse learning styles/differences, and distinct cultures. It is from these students and their families that I have been able to form concepts about the ways in which individuals process information and perform to their potential, and I continually use and refine my techniques in order to improve my practice and to help students realize that they can do math, and pass and even excel in their math classes.

To receive a weekly report that communicated the progress as well as the nuances of motivation, was extraordinarily helpful. Linda truly made a difference to our daughter's academic work.

Linda is a gifted teacher. Technically, she conveys the information very effectively; personality-wise--always enthusiastic, positive, encouraging. It is very easy to learn from her and to feel a sense of accomplishment.
