Jeff Morris at home

Jeff Morris

Math & Science Center Tutor

I have taught math from basic to AP Calculus for 28 years. I enjoy tutoring as I get to take into account the differences in learning styles and levels of proficiency of each student. There is no better sound for a teacher than when they hear a student say proudly “Oh, now I understand!”

I enjoy family, playing my guitar and writing songs, and hiking in the White Mountains.
