Algebra 1

I am a retired university professor (Florida State University) who has been teaching English, GED, and math in Boston for the past fifteen years. Although my Ph.D. was not in math, I am rather good at teaching math because, in college, I suffered for a time from "math anxiety." For that reason, unlike some math teachers, I do not simply assume that because some part of math is easy for me, it must be easy for everybody.

GED

I am a retired university professor (History, Florida State University) and I have been teaching GED classes and students for the past fifteen years. I have had good success in teaching for this test because I am thoroughly familiar with it and because I work well with students. The section on math is a strong point for me because I had "math anxiety" myself when I was in college, and I know what it is like.

TOEFL

I am a retired university professor (History, Florida State University) with more than ten years experience in teaching for the TOEFL exam. I have taught at Roxbury Community College, UMass/Boston, the International Learning Center at the Boston YMCA and am presently employed, part-time, by United South End Settlements teaching GED and pre-GED classes. I have taught students from around the world, and have had a great deal of success in working with them. I taught for both the old and the new... Read More

ESL/ESOL

I have taught ESL/ESOL for more than fifteen years. I taught at the International Learning Center at the Boston YMCA, at Roxbury Community College, at Catholic Charities, and, presently, at the Jewish Vocational Center in downtown Boston.

TEAS

First of all, I have a Ph.D. from Cornell University with a major field in American history and minor fields in American Literature and American Government. Although it has been several years since I took the exam, I scored in the 99th percentile on the SAT. I have tutored in English, Math, and Social Sciences for adult learners for the past fifteen years. On several occasions I worked with students hoping to apply to nursing programs, and while teaching English at the Boston YMCA I taught a class... Read More
