Bio

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 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.

Lavanya, 4 lessons with Carmen

Clear explanations and efficient use of time

Carmen was very knowledgeable on the subject of environmental science. She clearly and efficiently reviewed the concepts as well as assisted with problem sets. Not a bit of time was wasted. I recommend

Alex, 5 lessons with Carmen

great session

She did great on her test. You really helped her understand the information. We will definitely be back for more sessions. Thank you.

Alex, 8 lessons with Carmen

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Awesome tutor. Teaches the topics in depth and checks the understanding of the topics by having an interactive session. Really admire her approach of teaching. I highly recommend her!

Sujata, 3 lessons with Carmen

Great AP Bio tutor

My daughter has really been struggling with this class. Carmen is able to break the complex material down into more manageable concepts. She has great visuals and an excellent teaching style. My daughter is really comfortable with her and feels more confident in her ability to succeed this class. We will be using Carmen again throughout this year!!

Danielle , 4 lessons with Carmen

knowledgeable

Very knowledgeable and patient with my sister who is receiving the tutoring sessions. Very accommodating and meeting with last-minute plans

Estelle, 11 lessons with Carmen

Very knowledgable and patient

She was very knowledgeable and gave me insights into lesson planning and teaching in general. She has a great deal of experience and knows how to navigate the administrative process of education as well as how to explain the material itself.

Sean, 2 lessons with Carmen

Knowledgeable, great and patient tutor!

Carmen did an outstanding job adjusting her teaching to meet my daughter's learning style. She is very knowledgeable and gave great tips for studying. She is very patient and makes sure that my daughter understands a concept before moving on. Really impressed with Carmen. For example, Carmen talked with my daughter about the difference between ice in salt water and ice in fresh water, they together explored volcanic mountains that rise above the sea surface. My daughter can now explain and describe Iceland, the Canary Islands, the Azores and the Pacific Polynesian Islands as examples. They have already learned a lot about the body system, the anatomy, the way the organs function. My daughter is so driven to be a doctor someday. Thanks to Carmen for that great influence. I wonder to what extent my daughter might become familiar with a scientific subject and I strongly recommended Carmen as a great teacher of science and biology.

Olga, 60 lessons with Carmen

Excellent tutor

In one session I was able to understand and clarify what my teacher has taught all semester so far. She used pictures and explained the subject so that I could easily understand it. I appreciate all her help, I’m ready for my test. Thank you.

Sophia, 3 lessons with Carmen

She was well prepared

The lesson with Carmen went great. She explained things well and was super prepared for the lesson. My daughter did learn the material and we will use her again.
