Meet the Tutors
SANDRA
As the founder of Two-Steps Ahead Tutoring, my goal is to elevate students’ understanding of mathematics through individualized instruction. With a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Statistics and over eight years of experience working with students of varying skill levels, I have developed a deep passion for helping students achieve their highest potential. My background in mathematics, coupled with my ability to adapt to each student’s unique learning pace, allows me to bring a meaningful and effective approach to education.
I have had the privilege of tutoring students from 1st grade through college calculus, including those with learning disabilities, as well as providing support in other subjects up to 8th grade and preparing students for ACT/SAT exams. My teaching philosophy is centered around patience and adaptability. By creating a one-on-one environment where students feel confident to share their challenges and questions, I strive to understand their perspectives and tailor my guidance accordingly. My ultimate goal is to rebuild their confidence and empower them to move forward independently, pushing beyond their initial expectations and achieving success they once thought unattainable.

KATELYN
I am an avid gamer, manga reader, and casual artist. I love a good puzzle and am always ready to watch a good mystery. I have been teaching math for 6 years and tutoring for 10 years.

BRANDON
I am a PhD physicist who has worked on projects studying the underlying mechanisms of diseases like Alzheimer's, ALS, and sickle cell disease. I have had a strong passion for teaching since I was an undergraduate student at Baldwin Wallace University, where I began tutoring. Since then, I have worked with students from K-12 and at the college level. My key focus when working with students is to develop their brains so that they can be adept at solving problems and have the stamina to think hard for long periods of time.
