I am an enthusiastic math and science teacher with 18 years of experience teaching all age levels including college. I am especially good at making difficult concepts understandable by helping students to build a step-by step understanding of the information.

I currently tutor a wide-range of math and science related subjects: all k-12 math subjects, biology, and chemistry as well as help students prepare for special entrance exams, like the SAT, Math Level 1 and 2 Subject Tests, Chemistry and Science Subject tests, and NET. I have a personal library of test exam books, video and other materials to aid student learning.

Building effective study skills is a key to success in any class, no matter what age. I will show students a number of techniques to help them understand and retain more information, greatly contributing to their success.

I look forward to hearing from you!

SAT Math

I have reviewed many SAT workbooks, and my favorite by far is the Gruber's series. The Gruber's Complete SAT Guide contains two diagnostic tests that I have all of my SAT math students take, and these tests assist us with approximating a beginning overall SAT score, as well as pinpointing areas of weakness that we need to concentrate on for our sessions. My SAT students have been very successful achieving their desired scores through our sessions and their home practice.

Elementary (K-6th)

I am an enthusiastic math and science teacher with 18 years of experience teaching all age levels including college. When tutoring elementary students, I incorporate diagnostic testing, workbooks, and school studies into the students' sessions. There are many diagnostic tests available that can help me to assess an elementary student's areas of weaknesses in a range of subjects, including; reading comprehension in a variety of subjects, vocabulary (word recognition and definition), and math skills...

NCLEX

My biology background and knowledge of the subject matter of the NCLEX has enabled me to help several students obtain entrance to nursing school as well as pass their NCLEX exam. In my personal library of subject matter resources, I have NCLEX books and online databases of test questions. I can work with nursing students based on their individual needs, according to whatever content area of the NCLEX they need to work on.

Dyslexia

Last summer, I worked one-on-one with a dyslexic girl. Her mother had been concerned because she had only learned to read that past December and was old enough to be in second grade. After I worked with her all summer, she returned to her regular school and was tested. She had advanced two grade levels over the summer and was able to be placed in her correct age group. I have also worked with dyslexic children previous to private tutoring, while working at a local learning center.

Praxis

I have a secondary certificate in biology and currently teach a wide range of math and science skills to students K-12 through adult. The Praxis exam's math component includes the following math skills: basic operations and numbers, fractions, percents, ratios, exponents, and geometry. I currently teach all of these math skills to my students in courses including: pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, SAT math, and GED math. For Praxis students, I will incorporate a Praxis study book into my library... Read More
