Tutoring Home

My name is Carey Gire, and I am a math tutor in the Olney, Maryland area. If your son or daughter finds mathematics difficult, I may be able to help. Not only can I provide tutoring in high school mathematics, but I can also provide coaching to inspire a different way of thinking about the subject.

I have worked with students in courses from Algebra I through AP Calculus BC, plus preparation for the SAT and ACT tests. My students come with various backgrounds - poor math fundamentals, insufficient confidence, and poor test skills. Each of those students succeeded because they knew that they needed help and sought it out.

Please feel free to peruse my website for more information. If you are interested in other tutoring/mathematics topics, I have also set up a separate informational website: The Educated Math Tutor*.

Effective immediately, I am no longer accepting new students. I am preparing to retire and plan to work with my current students only.

However, at a future date I intend to continue my tutoring work in the Ashton and Olney areas, but not as a paid tutor. More information will be forthcoming.

Also, please continue to view my separate informational website: The Educated Math Tutor. I plan to continue updating that site, focusing on the Puzzles and Competitions section.
