About

Meet your tutor

Hi, I'm Britney Hersman — a certified elementary educator with two specializations: K–6 elementary education and math (grades 5–9). I'm currently a virtual 7th grade math teacher and pursuing a master's in educational technology. I've also taught STEAM and coding in a brick-and-mortar classroom for a year and currently run a STEAM club. Before all of this, I spent five years tutoring college students across every subject. Steady Steps Learning LLC is my independent tutoring and homeschool portfolio review practice.

Why families choose steady steps

Every learner gets a personalized plan built from where they actually are — not where a pacing guide says they should be. Sessions blend discovery-first math instruction, clear progress checkpoints, and social-emotional support, because confidence and skill grow together.

Whether you're using Hope Scholarship funds, paying out of pocket, or need a portfolio review to keep your homeschool compliant, you'll get a plan that's honest about where your student stands and clear about what comes next.
