Experienced Math, Science and English Tutor Ready to Help

Hi. My name is Susyn. I have been a tutor for over 20 years. I tutor elementary, middle school, high school, collegiate and adult students.

I received my bachelor's degree in economics/finance from the University of Colorado, and I was in the honor's program and a teaching assistant while there.

While mathematics, life sciences, history, English/literature, and SAT and ACT test preparation are my specialties, I have well-rounded knowledge in several subjects and topics. Other topics that I tutor include clarinet, music, theatre, swimming, psychology, sociology, economics, accounting, finance, resume and interview preparation skills, study skills, vocabulary, business, personal management and computers (general computers, Mac and MS Office - Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Access). I also tutor elementary school subjects like reading, grammar, phonics and arithmetic.

I like to break things down into the smallest components and build them back up - it's the easiest and most fun way to learn. And I am eager and ready to help you gain confidence and knowledge so you become a master student and test taker. I also guarantee the student a minimum of a one grade increase if the student follows the tutor program.

I have a very flexible schedule and will work around your schedule to accommodate you.

Please note I have a 24-hour cancellation policy. If you need to cancel in less than 24 hours, I am willing to give you a credit to be used for a makeup session if scheduled within 3 days.

I look forward to working with you.

Cheers!

Susyn

Reading

I enjoy reading. I have been very fortunate to help elementary, junior high, high school, college and adult students with reading, pronunciation, vocabulary, and reading comprehension and make their reading experiences more enjoyable.

I look forward to helping you improve your reading skills.

Writing

I am a published writer, copywriter and proofreader. I love helping students with their writing assignments and to help them improve their writing skills. Because I have tutored students for a long time, I have found ways to teach students while making learning fun.

Elementary (K-6th)

I have been tutoring K-6th grade students for over 20 years in the areas of arithmetic, reading, reading comprehension, vocabulary, phonics, science, puncuation and grammar. I would like to help elementary school students with these fundamentals to help prepare them for their continuing education.

Study Skills

I have been a tutor for over 20 years and have been working with students (elementary through adults) on their study skills for years.

Having solid study skills comes down to organizing and prioritizing work. I am very strong in this area. And I help students make working on their study skills more like fun and less like work. I have some fun tricks that will help every student improve their study skills.

Theatre

I am a working stage and film actress and tutor. I currently tutor students in theatre. I would like to tutor Wyzant students in theatre as well.

Clarinet

I have been playing the clarinet since high school and college, I have tutored students and would welcome the opportunity to tutor again. I love music and the joy it brings to people.

Bible Studies

I have significant knowledge in multiple religions including: Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism and Mormon. I also have significant knowledge of the Christian Bible, not only through taking a lot of coursework in the subject, but also having taught Bible studies to elementary, and junior and senior high students.

Thank you for your time.

Macintosh

I have been working on Macintosh products since the very first Macintosh (1984). That includes Mail, Macintosh's own suite of word processing, spreadsheet and presentation programs, calendar, and many other Macintosh-specific programs and utilities. I have also tutored students on Macintosh, whether it has been for home or business use. I look forward to working with you to help you become a Mac Pro.

Marketing

I am a Marketing consultant and prior to that, I was a Marketing Director and Marketing Manager in several corporations.

My strengths include: developing marketing and product strategy, brand development, copywriting, designing and implementing lead generation programs, internet marketing, PR, advertising, etc.

I would love to help tutor you in the nuances of Marketing. It is fun and you will learn a lot.
