About Clemence
I am a Cornell Engineering graduate, and I live in Galveston. If you need extra help in Algebra, Geometry, Trig, Pre-Calculus, Chemistry or Physics, I can help. Education is my second career, as a way of "giving back". Therefore my rates are very reasonable. My strength in teaching is in how I make complicated things easy to understand. Below is a bit about my credentials. I can be reached at (concealed information) In the early 1980's, there was an engineering slump, and I decided to enter the teaching profession for a short time by working for Houston Community College. However, they gave me a challenge which I could not resist. They needed someone to start a new Technical Math & Physics program, teaching with real world applications for students earning technical degrees. I developed a new Math & Physics program containing nine different courses. My duties included managing the program --- establishing course contents, choosing textbooks, hiring & supervising instructors, and publicizing the new program. I also created entrance exams, designed for student assessment for correct placement into the Math classes. It was there that I realized teaching came naturally for me and it was my true calling. Later, after raising a family, I wanted to reach younger minds. That is when I discovered I was required to get a Texas State Teaching License to teach at the public schools. In 2008, I received my certification in Mathematics, grades 8 - 12, and then taught at La Marque High School for 3 years. This past year, three days a week, I was a Pull-Out Math Teacher at a middle school. I took small groups of struggling students, and tried to fill their gaps in learning, with the goal of successfully passing their standardized tests. The other two days, I did the same at a charter high school. Over the past 3 years, I have also tutored students one-on-one, in the following subjects: Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Statistics, Pre-Calculus, Physics, and Chemistry. My strength lies in making complex concepts seem simple. Again I truly enjoy seeing a student's face light up when he/she finally "gets it"

Often I encounter students who have, what I call math phobia. Therefore, my first step is to build up confidence. I tell them they are not going to see something that they have not learned, and to repeat to themselves, "I know what I know, and I know it well" Then it is similar to a game, and you have to solve the puzzles. Ask yourself what in your repertoire you can use to attack and solve the problem being asked. I approach each concept in Math by showing how it is related to the previous concept and, when I can, its practical/applied use. I model approaching and solving the problem. Then I have the student attempt the problem with my guidance. The student continues to do problems until he can master the concept by himself.
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Clemence.
Excellent! Clemence got back to my messages quickly. She really knows what she's doing (we needed help Precalc AP help). She was ready to jump in and work through questions my daughter had.
- Megan was a pleasure to work with. Unlike many students her age, she has a solid foundation of prior math concepts. In math this is quite important, because you are continuously building on what you learned before.Clemence's response :
