Bio

I spent several years as a grade K through 12 science curriculum supervisor in three school districts. New offerings! Complete, standards-based science online course, grades 4, 5, 6 as well as high school biology.

I have more than 20 years of experience as an elementary, middle school and high school STEM teacher in Connecticut. I spent several years as a grade K through 12 science curriculum supervisor in three school districts. New offerings! Complete, standards-based science online course, grades 4, 5, 6 as well as high school biology.

I have taught general science, AP biology, IB biology, Earth Science including NY Regents Earth Sci, 10th grade biology, chemistry, physical science, AP and college level environmental science, astronomy, meteorology, marine science, oceanography, computer science, mathematics and algebra. I have also taught courses as an adjunct professor. These courses included anatomy and physiology, sex ed and computer programming.

I love teaching and tutoring students one-on-one. My goal for every one of my students is to make them love science and learning as much as I do. If they earn top grades and prestigious awards along the way, it's a bonus for both of us!

I excel in project design and project completion with students. Teaching students how to get organized and break a large project into manageable pieces is my specialty. I have coached several winning projects for student entries in the CT Science and Engineering Fair and the CT Invention Convention, Science Olympiad, as well as other state and national competitions. I am also a CSEF judge with 10 years of experience.

Please contact me to discuss your tutoring needs, as well as days and times that meet your needs.

Excellent Lesson

Carmen did a great job going over specific honors biology material and provided additional resources. They covered several topics over a short time to help my student prepare for his next quiz.

Science Fair help

Her level of knowledge about science fair projects was IMPRESSIVE! I would highly recommend her if you need help planning out a project, executing it and writing it up. She reviewed my daughter’s project and provided good suggestions for improvement.

Highly Recommend

Carmen is an excellent tutor who is very knowledgeable about the subject and has a good sense for the needs of her student. She has patience and comes prepared with visual aids and resources to fully explain specific topics that are engaging and make it easier to understand. My daughter looks forward to working with Carmen and not only feels she has a better understanding of chemistry but feels she can achieve success working with her, a positive feeling she didn’t have before her sessions with Carmen.

Great Tutor

My daughter had a big project in AP Biology and needed support. Carmen not only got her on the right track and confident in completing the work but she did so while sick. Dedicated and patient.

Carmen seems to have a way of connecting with my daughter

Carmen has been helping my daughter with 10th grade honors science for about 2 months now. My daughters grades have definitely improved, my daughter finds Carmen much easier to understand and much easier to connect with than her H. S. Teacher. Carmen has been very very helpful in getting my daughter to understand the level of science.

Living Environment

Ms. Carmen was very patient and explained the subject for my daughter to better understand her weak areas of Living Environment. She’s committed and wants to see her students do well. It was my first time having her as a tutor for my daughter and my daughter requested to have her next school year as a tutor for Living Environment.
