Education Hill Math Tutoring

Owned and operated in the Education Hill neighborhood of Redmond, Washington for over 25 years with all tutoring provided for by Carol Villeneuve, sole proprietor.

Notice to all who have found this link: After a long and rewarding career operating my tutoring business, this current school year will be my last year tutoring, as I plan to retire in June. So I do not plan on taking on any additional students.

It has been my utmost privilege to tutor math these last twenty five years. While the majority of my students have been junior high and high school students, I have also had the opportunity to work with adults going back to school and students who were being home schooled. I have loved this work as it brought together the excellent and intriguing world of mathematics and fused it with the opportunity of getting to know and teach wonderful young people. I have loved all the different personalities and passions and energies of my students. And I have been able to witness the power of the mind in endless teaching and learning moments. It has been an incredible journey and I wish to thank the amazing families that allowed me to work with their children.

Thank you so much!

As my students called me: Ms. Carol, Mrs. V, or Mrs. Villeneuve
