The Skills Evaluation
Every student begins with a one-on-one diagnostic. Dr. Cheryl pinpoints exactly which concepts are solid and where the gaps hide - often years below the current course. No guessing, no generic curriculum.

How Math Doctor works
Three steps between "I can't do math" and "I've got this."
A Plan Built for One
The evaluation becomes an individualized roadmap: which foundations to repair, which grade-level skills to build, and in what order. Parents see the plan. Students understand the why.
One-on-One, Every Session
Always Dr. Cheryl herself - never a rotating cast of part-timers. Sessions happen in person in Melbourne or live online, paced to the student in front of her, adjusted week by week.
What families say
Loved across Brevard County.
"Dr. Cheryl found the exact gaps holding my daughter back in Algebra I. Within a grading period she went from dreading math to explaining it at the dinner table."
"My SAT math score jumped 90 points. The Nifty Notes alone were worth it - I still have them folded in my backpack."
"Both of our sons worked with Dr. Cheryl - one for Geometry, one for Calculus. Two very different kids, one remarkably patient teacher."
"Proofs finally made sense. She doesn't just show you the answer, she shows you how to think."
"The skills evaluation told us more about how our son learns than four years of report cards ever did."
"Timing was my enemy on the ACT. Dr. Cheryl gave me a pacing plan for every passage and I finally finished the math section."
"Even over Zoom it feels like she's sitting next to you. The unit circle went from my nightmare to my favorite page in my notebook."
"Professional, warm, and genuinely invested. Our daughter asked for extra sessions before her Algebra 2 final - that has never happened before."
Math tutoring, K–College
Every level, one teacher.
Test preparation
Big tests, beaten with a plan - not luck.
SAT, ACT, PSAT, and PERT preparation built on diagnostics, timed practice, and error analysis. Every point of improvement is measured, not hoped for.
