Taylor-Made, a premier Austin math tutoring company, was founded by Lacie Taylor, who has over fifteen years of experience helping people to better understand math. Since 2002, she has been teaching math professionally--researching and field-testing methods for concept mastery.

"Let's say you understand a math concept pretty well," suggests Lacie, "but haven't fully integrated it. If you're not using it regularly, it's one of the easiest things in the world to forget. However, once you've mastered it, it's like riding a bike. You don't forget it. You own it, and can call on it whenever you need it. And the things you can now learn-the ideas that require this mastery in order to fully comprehend-are very rewarding. Your whole academic career gets easier and more enjoyable when you are no longer battling the math monster."

Lacie's instruction holds the key that makes math like riding a bike. Her experience in and enthusiasm for the subject, her methods (learn by doing, keep every foundational skill in regular orbit, practice to 'sight word' level, etc.), and her firm belief that if taught the right way, everyone has the aptitude for learning math, make her math tutor services and instruction invaluable.
