Tutoring

My name is Dr. Bonita (Graham) Bryson and I am a goofy number nerd who loves to share my love of math!
I am a former college professor with experience tutoring everything from number fluency to SAT/ACT to advanced university level courses and actuarial exams. I design lessons to fit a student’s age, personality, and learning style. I will work with your schedule and can tutor online or out of my home. I will come to your home or meet at a library or other public place. I am happy to do one on one or group sessions.


Fee per hour long session

Testimonials

“Like a miracle and exactly when we needed it, Bonita Graham appeared in our orbit as a math tutor ready to accept new students! Tutoring began within days of my initial call. Math is a language that does not come easily to all, but Bonita’s teaching methods embrace individual learning styles and needs.
She is patient and kind which minimizes stress for anxious learners. Her injection of humor and positive reinforcement facilitates the development of confidence and skills in mathematics. I highly recommend Bonita as a math tutor for your student in need.”


Parent of a MEHS student

“Bonita has been a kind, patient, and inspiring tutor for my children (12 and 17). She is comfortable in person or working virtually, and her love of math is clearly evident. She is creative and flexible, using different techniques for different kinds of learners, and she is good at communicating with caregivers. She helped my daughter develop her confidence in math and helped my son prepare for the SAT and ACT so that he could take them with confidence. Most importantly, she is a positive and good-humored person who is very well-liked by my kids.”

Parent of two LACS students

I first heard of Bonita Graham from a friend who said she had a wonderful math tutor  who was working with her two children.  So, when we learned on very short notice that our 8th grade daughter would need to sit for her first math Regents as a transfer student to Ithaca High School –we called her right away.  
She quickly folded our daughter into her schedule twice a week and got to work helping her to prepare. Her demeanor was perfect for our shy daughter and her expertise was just what she needed.  She learned ALOT in a short time but wasn’t pressured or stressed out by Bonita’s assignments.  Our daughter felt very comfortable asking questions right from the start. We couldn’t have asked for a better math tutor Bonita Graham and we highly recommend her!
