I like to get to know each student's unique circumstances and challenges so I can best help them to reach their goals. I find that a little encouragement, humor, and patience on my part goes a long way in reassuring them they can succeed in class.
For the last 20 years I have especially enjoyed helping middle- and high-school students earn higher test scores, get better class grades, and increase their self-confidence. I have taught students from K-12 in private tutoring centers, one-on-one and in small groups of 5-12, and worked as a substitute teacher in two different districts. I was qualified and asked to serve as the long-term sub for two classes, Integrated Math I and regular chemistry.
I earned my teaching certificate as a student teacher in chemistry. I also qualified, by testing, to teach math, middle-school math thru Algebra 2 (does not include trigonometry, math analysis, nor calculus). The past few years I have been working for a private tutoring company, but I’ve enjoyed the same joys that teaching can bring.
Please feel free to let me know what your goal(s) for each tutoring session is/are. I can help with homework, preview material, review material, prep for tests, and give you additional practice. Please give me at least a 4-hour notice if you need to cancel. I understand that schedules can get complicated. I look forward to meeting you soon. Mel
