I'm an award-winning scientist and former college professor who has received grants from the National Science Foundation
I'm a patient, kind tutor with a knack for easing math anxiety.
I have a master's degree in mechanical engineering and have 7 years of experience teaching young children to university level. On GRE, I have helped students see improvements and achieve into the 700s. In GMAT, I have seen students make improvements from the high 500s into the 700s.
Here are some of my reviews
"Was very helpful in describing
additional methods to me in
order to save time. Also did a
great job walking me through
problems step by step."

"Very encouraging. "
- Tyler J.
"Maura was very helpful, she gave me additional resources to study with and helped point out some methods that could help me in some of my weaker areas. She also took the time to work through problems with me completely and thoroughly until I understood them. I have noticed an improvement in the problem types that I have worked on with her."Show Less

"Maura is always so patient and understanding when working with me. When she sees that a question is difficult for me, she jumps in and guides me through the problem step by step and then afterwards has me explain the process to her to make sure I understand it. I like how she takes the time to coach me through everything. "

Thank you. Worked on writing 4th grade level essay.
Maura is very good with our daughter, 9 years old, they are working on her literacy and writing development. Maura is patient. She has advance degrees in math and has also been helpful in coaching our girl in 4th grade multiplication concepts.
It’s hard to review after one session. Our daughter took an immediate liking to her and she approached her like an adult asking her good questions about her interests so that she can guide a path forward.
