Higher Primes Math Tutoring
One-on-one math tutoring, homework help, and Test Prep from a student-friendly math enthusiast.
Giving Math Students Their Best Chance to Succeed
Prime numbers are unique in the mathematical world--each one divisible only by themselves and one. And just like these highly individualistic numbers, your student deserves a math approach tailored specifically to their own personal learning style.Higher Primes Math Tutoring is the work of Anita Burkam, a math enthusiast and tutoring specialist. Anita studied math as an undergraduate at St. John’s College, the Great Books school, where one track of the curriculum follows the development of Western mathematical thought. Working entirely from primary texts, Anita studied geometry from Euclid, trigonometry from Ptolemy, calculus from Newton, relativity from Einstein, and non-Euclidean geometry from Lobachevsky. Coursework included two years of mathematical laboratory science which transported topics of pure mathematics into the physical world. Following her graduation from St. John’s, Anita joined the Peace Corps and taught math for two years to engineering students in Tanzania.Since then, Anita has worked extensively with students from many different populations, including the neurodivergent community, and has collected a wide array of approaches and teaching techniques to reach students where they are and help them move forward to greater achievement. She loves to encourage students with positive reinforcement and team up with them to make math a surmountable challenge rather than a dreaded chore. Now located in Takoma Park, MD, Anita offers homework help, subject area instruction, and test prep services.
