The MsEd Degree mathematics curriculum studies I took at Hofstra University, has ensured that I can tutor students in mathematics and humanities. I am a savvy test taker and would be able to teach your child not only the content necessary to excel at the SAT and other standardized tests, but also how to utilize strategies to maximize efficiency and accuracy. I have knowledge and certification also of Pre Algebra, Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre Calculus, Elementary Math, and several other areas of mathematics. I enjoy connecting the subject matter to topics that are relevant to the lesson in order to engage the student on a deeper level. I assess a student's strengths, weaknesses, and interests by diagnostic assessments in order to best make the lesson come alive and ensure that the skills and knowledge learned are most easily learned and also nurture critical thinking that would contribute positively to success in other subjects relevant to real world skills.
