Algebra I and Geometry  

Lori has always had a love for learning mathematics and teaching it to others. She attended college at Loyola College in Baltimore, MD, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics. Following working several years in finance at T. Rowe Price, she went back to earn her Masters in Business Administration (MBA) from the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon University. She spent six years working in Finance for Marriott International before “retiring”,and focusing on her three children. For the past two years, Lori has homeschooled one of her three children, her son Luke who has learning challenges. One of her greatest joys has been watching him evolve from a student who was afraid of mathematics, to one who embraces the subject, has built a good strong foundation of mathematics, and even somewhat ENJOYS the subject. Lori’s passion is to get children to understand math, especially children who do not think they like math, or who are afraid of math. To break complex ideas down into learnable information, whatever that takes, is her goal for every student. She promises to make it fun, and hopefully pass on her passion for math to every student in her class. Lori has a long history of tutoring students, beginning in highschool, and continuing on through college, business school and throughout her working years. She has tutored students of all ages in math, and taught English as a second language. She lives with her husband, three children and three dogs in Crownsville. 

Highschool Language Arts, which includes grammar, composition,

literature, and an introduction to public speaking, will be taught by Steve

Krukar, who has spent decades developing a unique collection of personal

skills encompassing the written word, spoken word and God’s Word. Given

his experience in Christian youth ministry, public and homeschool

teaching, radio and television broadcasting, small business ownership and

operation, as well as in the airline industry, he is well equipped to help

students to think, write and speak from a Christian worldview. He has a

passion to see America return to its Biblical and Constitutional heritage,

and for Americans to embrace the God worshipped by many of our

Founding Fathers. It is his hope that each student who attends the

“Learning With Grace Tutorial” will be inspired to communicate, through

their lives, the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
