About
The Accomplish Math was founded on the belief that every student has the ability to learn.
Shana Tarman, Founder and Tutor
We want to empower all students to achieve excellence and confidence in Math.
Shana Tarman, M.S.,M.Ed, Math Professor and owner of Accomplish Math Learning Center has specialized experience in working with students in the areas of Math and Science. I have been working with students for over 19 years in the areas of Math and Science. I received my education from Cal Poly Pomona earning a B.S. and M.S. I also earned another degree M.Ed from the University of La Verne . Over the years of teaching, I obtained certificates in Independent Educational Consultant, Accommodating Students with Disabilities, Postsecondary Reading & Learning, and Online Teaching.
My educational philosophy:
My educational philosophy is deeply rooted with the idea of "caring" as its core. I believe and care for each student as an individual who has many talents. I welcome and celebrate the diversity of my students, recognizing that each is a unique individual who deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
My experience as a college professor, high school teacher, Independent Educational Consultant, and tutor outside the classroom gives direct insight of what is needed to be successful in college. I have helped countless number of students improve their study habits, comprehension, and test-taking skills. As a result, these students have earned better test scores and grades, and grown in self-esteem and confidence. I love celebrating those victories with my students. I incorporate passion and understanding with my teaching methods.
My teaching strategies reflect that learning is an active process by which learners construct new knowledge and meaning based on past and present knowledge and experience. It is my belief that by using a variety of teaching strategies I will be better able to meet the diverse learning styles of my students and act as a facilitator of learning as they begin their life-long educational journey.
By bringing my excitement and enthusiasm for math, I hope to inspire a love of life-long learning in my students. I will do my utmost to provide a caring environment that is conducive to learning as well as providing a safe and non-threatening setting in which to practice new skills and explore new ideas.
Recognized by California Faculty Association for Outstanding Adjunct Professor 2016

"My son is a homeschooler and teaching math is my weakness.
We tried different math programs; web and text-book based and my son was not grasping the concepts. I came across Accomplish Math Learning Center through a homeschool group. Ms. Shana is kind and patient. My son enjoys his sessions with her and he looks forward to math
Ms. Shana explains math in a way he understands. Best of all, he's learning.
I highly recommend Ms. Shana!."
-Irene T.
Thank you for helping me. It really means a lot to me. And you really helped me try in school, because I never cared about school. But now I know the meaning of it because of you.
