Experienced and Compassionate Mathematics Teacher
I am a Massachusetts licensed teacher, and I have taught Math & Computer Science for the past 17 years working in the Sudbury and Newton public school districts. I have recently retired and moved to Venice, Florida! I have taught all levels of algebra, geometry, trigonometry, precalculus and AP Calculus AB & BC as well as AP Computer Science. In addition I have tutored many students preparing for the SSAT, SAT, ACT and GRE exams by helping them improve their score and finding their best pos…
Testimonials
Ryan V. from Westford, MA If you are looking for a REAL math teacher, one who clearly has tons of experience, Ms. W is a perfect fit. I have been struggling with Pre-Calculus, and her clear and patient explanations helped demystify this tough subject. She even prepared before the first lesson, having numerous calculator programs, a textbook and exercises. With Ms. W as a tutor, one should feel a lot more confident about math!
Mary K. from Medway, MA I contacted Margery in order to help my 16 year old son who is completing high school through an accredited, online high school, with his AP Calculus AB class. He is a very bright math student, wanting to learn everything himself, but was struggling with some Calculus concepts. He agreed to meet with a tutor, and through Wyzant, I found Margery who seemed to have all of the necessary qualifications, at least online. Well, she exceeded both of our expectations, especially with regard to my son! She arrived promptly, and had already looked over the chapters in his book which he had covered (I had told her on the phone which book he used), and had taken it upon herself to contact his school to try and get information about his course. She immediately jumped into the section he was working on, and seemed to intrinsically know the best way to work with my son. She was extremely respectful of his intelligence, and explained the concepts he didn't understand in such a way he was able to understand almost immediately. She has a great sense of humor, and taught my son many useful calculus techniques in only an hour. Not only that, as his school doesn't offer AP Calculus BC, she offered to help him with that portion in order for him to take the AP Calculus BC exam rather than the AB. Needless to say, we have made the decision to use Margery on a regular basis, especially as Calculus can be a rather daunting class to teach oneself and she made it an enjoyable learning experience for my son.
Karyn K. from Ashland, MA Our son was not doing well in math and we could see that he was feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. He is a very hard worker, but does have some learning deficits. Margery began tutoring our son and within 2 weeks his grade was brought up. His last two test grades were a A and B. Along with her excellent educational experience, Margery has a keen ability to pinpoint the type of learner our son is. She gets our son!!! Margery has given him the tools to succeed in Algebra and we would highly recommend her. We are so delighted that we have found her!!!
Julia S. from Framingham, MA "Wow! Who's the tutor you are using?" asked our son's pre-calculus teacher upon seeing his grade turnaround. Mrs. W knows truly knows how to teach. This is evidenced in her patience, her command of the subject matter and most importantly, her ability to convey the subject matter in a manner that is understandable and relatable. As a result of her tutoring, our son now has greater confidence and the understanding to grasp the subject matter. Our son, his teacher and we, as his parents, have been thrilled with the progress he as made. We wholeheartedly endorse Mrs. W's skills and abilities as a tutor who helps students learn, grasp and grow.
Ashley M. from Sudbury, MA We found Margery to help my daughter prep for the English and Math SAT. We were able to have three lessons with Margery prior to the test and she worked well with my daughter and we saw my daughter's motivation and willingness to practice go up after each lesson. Margery was also able to offer some feedback on their progress to me which was appreciated. Based on that, we agreed that my daughter should plan on taking the SAT a second time and for her focus on improvement on her algebra skills prior to that. We will definitely ask to Margery to come back and help her prepare for that in due course. In the mean time we feel she is well prepared for the SAT next week. Thank you Margery!
Jeremy A. from Hopkinton, MA I have never worked with a tutor who knew their material so well or was as organized as Margery. I contacted Margery to help me prepare for the BC Calculus exam while I was taking an AB Calculus class. With just a few months to prepare, this seemed like a daunting task; yet with Margery's clear instruction and guidance I was able to score a 5 on the exam. Using her mastery of the material, Margery is able to break down complex topics clearly and is excellent at communicating different mathematical concepts. She laid out a 3 month schedule, creating a timeline of calculus concepts to learn before the exam, and provided invaluable test-taking tips. I have worked with several different math tutors, but none could have prepared me as well as Margery did. She also helped my sister achieve a near perfect score on the SAT II Math 2 exam!
Amy B. from Newtonville, MA Margery was wonderful to work with, easy to schedule with, and very organized. She was a tremendous help to my son in reaching his ambitious summer math study goals.
Shaoping W. from Southborough, MA I have never met a tutor who is as caring as Ms. W. She not only teaches my son pre-Cal but also teaches him learning skills. My son is struggling with pre-Cal, algebra and math in general. Ms. W. observed my son's learning style, and communicated with me with compassion and solid suggestions. Remarkably, with Ms. W.'s lessons and previews, my son is able to be ahead of class and understand the complex concepts taught by his teacher at first time.
Tiziana R. from Marlborough, MA Margery is clearly a very experienced and effective tutor, but what stood out to me was also the flexibility that she has shown in the scheduling of the lessons for my 9th grader. We had a couple of changes of dates, and I had not received an email that Margery sent me to confirm the next appointment. When we finally spoke over the phone, she was extremely understanding, and my son was able to get his badly needed lesson on another date!
Jeffrey P. from Ashland, MA Margery is simply terrific! She's very knowledgeable, professional and wonderfully patient. My son very much enjoys their laughter-filled tutoring sessions and appreciates that she continuously challenges him. I highly recommend Margery.
Karyn E. from Southborough, MA Margery has been working with my daughter for only a week and after three sessions, my daughter is already grasping the concepts that she didn't understand in AB Calc class this semester. She has gone way out of her way to accommodate her and has even been tutoring her via Skype while she has been away. My daughter is gaining confidence and absolutely loves working with Margery. I highly recommend Margery and feel so very fortunate that we found her!
Yanni G. from Acton, MA My daughter had her first math tutoring session with Margery on Jan 24. Margery quickly identified her study tendencies and her strengths & weaknesses. She reviewed together with her on a recent math test set and explained the problems. We shall arrange for new study sessions. Perhaps Tuesday afternoon would fit my daughter's schedules better. Margery- please let us know your availability! Thank you.
Srikanth S. from Shrewsbury, MA Margery is an extremely knowledgeable teacher to be able to understand the students need and ensure the student understands the fundamentals thoroughly. She understands where the gaps are and what areas needs to be focused on to ensure the student thoroughly understands the subject. She is on time for the lessons, very professional and kind. She understands each student very well and does what it takes to build their confidence level to become successful and perform to their potential. She has been very flexible when we needed to change occasionally the lesson times once she has sufficient time to alter her schedule. I would highly recommend Margery.
Mary J. from Sudbury, MA Margery is a wonderful tutor. My daughter has struggled with math and it has challenged her confidence. Margery is extremely warm and patient and has really built up my daughter's confidence and test scores. She is always prompt, professional, and easy to reach. Margery has a gift for tutoring kids and truly seems to enjoy her work.
