Your first hour with any tutor is always 100% refundable!

I'm an experienced high school teacher with over 15 years of experience in education. I've tutored all levels of math up through calculus level. I'm certified and licensed by the state of MA to teach 5th-8th grade math, 8th-12th grade math, and 8th-12th grade physics. I enjoy helping with homework and practice problems and am interested in teaching you the concepts as well as getting all those correct answers which you'd like to see.

My rates are reasonable and I'm interested in being your client. I am willing to tutor anywhere within a few miles of where I already work in downtown Chicopee or within a few miles of where I live in South Hadley. I am available for tutoring in person or online...starting today!

Chemistry

Topics that could be covered would include matter and measurement, atoms, molecules and ions, periodic properties of the elements, basic concepts of chemical bonding, stoichiometry, electronic structure of atoms, ideal gases and gas laws, acids and bases, electrochemistry, nuclear chemistry, and properties of solutions.

Microsoft Excel

Microsoft Excel is perfect for making spreadsheets of all different sorts. I have experience from while I was completing my master's degree in education AND from my current occupation as a teacher. For example, I currently use a Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet to keep data for a point "levels" system which assesses students' behavior during classtime. This Excel Spreadsheet is updated by me weekly. Many countless uses for spreadsheets come up on the job for recording and keeping data.

Geometry

Subject areas include: inductive reasoning, biconditionals, deductive reasoning, methods of direct and indirect proof, postulates and proofs, equivalence relations, simple angle theorems, congruent polygons and corresponding parts, proving triangles congruent using two pairs of sides and included angle (SAS), proving triangles congruent using two pairs of angles and included side (ASA), proving triangles congruent using three pairs of congruent sides (SSS), isosceles triangles, equilateral triangles,...

Read More

SAT Math

Topics include: General SAT strategy concerning answering questions in a fast and efficient manner, arithmetic, algebra, plane geometry, solid geometry, coordinate geometry, trigonometry, functions, statistics and sets.

Physical Science

This subject entails the science of basic physics and chemistry at the middle school and early high school level. The math level needed involves basic algebra formulas and arithmetic used to solve appropriate word problems. Topics include: the properties, classification and structure of matter, the use of the periodic table and the laws and facts for using it as a reference, chemical bonding, chemical reactions, forces and motion, forces in fluids, Bernoulli's Principle, work, power and simple...

Discrete Math

I majored in math in college and have experience with linear algebra, number theory and logic and could help a perspective student taking courses in this realm who might be involved with writing proofs of this nature.

Discrete math involves the study any form of analytical math outside of the realm of continuous variables as one would see with function theory and the calculus. It is basically a subcategory which concerns logic, set theory, number theory, linear algebra, combinatorics,... Read More

Linear Algebra

I have taken a few upper division level college Linear Algebra courses at SUNY at Stonybrook. I received a a B and B+ in the classes which I took. Seeing as though I majored in mathematics, I was required to take Linear Algebra, Abstract Algebra and Number theory courses there which exclusively use matrices and linear dependence and show how these subjects are used in vector calculus and differential equations.

Logic

Basic Logic Skills are crucial for understanding Euclidean Geometry proofs and for understanding Venn Diagrams in Probability and in Computer Science. I have taught and tutored logic at the high school level as it is part of the standard math curriculum in both NY state and CT. As a math major in college (Although as a course for math majors, it was an elective which I did not take.), I was required to know logic for the first chapter in multiple upper division mathematics classes such as Abstract... Read More

Praxis

As a requirement during grad school toward getting my MA, I had to take the math Praxis and passed it the first time I took it and scored fairly well without ever cracking open a book. I have an extensive background in mathematics and am proficient in test taking strategies of government tests such as SAT, ACT math and the Praxis. If I tutored you, we would use a Praxis review book and do a host of problems together from a variety of math subject areas which are covered on the Praxis test.

Electrical Engineering

As a mechanical engineering student, and as a straight physics student, I have had some experience solving problems concerning electricity, electric potential energy, electrical circuits, electromagnetic induction, alternating current circuits and electromagnetic waves. I have experience solving circuit problems for series, parallel and combination circuits using Kirchoff's Rules and with calculation of capacitor discharges, resistivity, impedance, inductance...you name it. I can help you with... Read More

Mechanical Engineering

Before I chose my original college route of becoming a math major for my first degree at SUNY at Stonybrook, I originally completed the first two years of undergraduate Mechanical Engineering Classes at a community college and was accepted into Stonybrook University as a 3rd year Mechanical Engineer. Once I became enrolled there, I switched my interest to a straight mathematics degree. I originally liked math much more than physics. It wasn't until I went back to school many years later at Boston... Read More
