Hi! I've spent my educational career in the Catholic school system, and my professional career in one form of chemistry or another, and I feel that I can help people who need that extra help in science, or math and English. The sciences will always be my first love, but I am also particularly interested in grade school and high school level math classes like algebra, geometry and trigonometry. Grade school/high school level English classes are also a strength of mine, as is reading comprehension and the planning, organizing, and writing of reports. My tutoring experience mostly comes from tutoring in college, where I worked with both young children who needed extra help in Math and returning adults who were interested in the sciences. Since then I have guided many of the neighborhood children and my own children in their attempts to be successful in reading and math. I'm happy to say they've done well! My style could be considered varied, then focused, as I try to not just reiterate information from a textbook, but offer different views of a question so the person's unique way of learning best can be uncovered. Once we can find the best way to learn, I find the pieces fall into place more easily. I love that - ah HA - moment as well, when it all finally makes sense from nothing but confusion.

Other subjects such as sewing, religion snd computers are interests that I have picked up either after my college days or I have been interested in since I was a child. I'd be happy to share what I have learned.

Thanks for your consideration!

• general computer

  Hi. I've been interested in computers since my first one at 12 years old, and have always been fascinated by what you can find out if you just know the proper way to ask. I'm naturally curious by nature, which has helped in this case because when I was leaning a new operating system, I always found out what each button could do. I've mastered most of the standard Microsoft Suite of programs, Word in all it's forms, Excel, Outlook, Photo Editor, Lotus 1-2-3, and some basic programming and web design.

• religion

  I was in the Catholic School system for 16 years, so I'm well versed in Roman Catholisicm, but I've been interested in religion and what part it plays in people's lives since high school. I've taken many college-level courses on the major world religions, and many of the minor ones as well.

• sewing

  My Mother and Grandmother were accomplished seamstresses and they taught me the basics of how to sew when I was a child. Since then I've learned the practicalities of following a pattern, making clothes, and now I'm a consultant to a small business selling machine-sewed goods. I've also had to figure out how to make a few more complicated items without patterns, and have had good success with that.

  Very knowledgable, patient. Willing to work around my schedule

  I can't say enough about the time I spent with Jen. She was able to help me make sense out of a subject that might as well have been a foreign language. She was always willing to adjust her schedule to ensure she was available when I was. She was able to explain my lessons to me in words I could understand. I am most appreciate of her talent and time. Thank you!
