Meet Tiffany Layton:

Math Tutor Tiff’s love for math created a desire in her to help others. She would love for children not to be intimidated by math, instead appreciate, understand, and acknowledge math.

She is a Youngstown, Ohio native, who received her

B.S. in Industrial & Systems Engineering from The Ohio State University, and M.S. from Youngstown State. Her love for math started at an early age. She can remember hanging out with her dad in the garage, as he was fixing things he would teach her how to use fractions. When she went to the grocery store with her mom, she was responsible for calculating the cost and making sure they stayed within the budget.

Her love for math continues to grow as she helps her students build confidence in their math skills. Math Tutor Tiff knows the more you practice math the better you can be at math. So let’s get it!
