Welcome to Math Success. I am Laura Hathaway and I am your coach at Math Success. I have a unique background and approach in working with students, which has led to a very high success rate in my work. I have a Ph.D. in Math and Science Education, and M.S. in Counseling and a B.S. in Physics. This education and background enables me to work with all of the aspects that can affect a student's performance and attitude in math and science. I address the issues of self-confidence, math and test anxiety, past deficiencies, learning styles, conceptual understanding, and standardized test preparation. All of these areas are vital in improving a student's performance on exams, their attitude towards math and science, and their college and career choices.
