Hello! With over two decades of classroom experience and a passion for helping students succeed, I specialize in general high/middle school science courses and middle school math. My science teaching background includes biology, chemistry, earth and space science, zoology, and environmental science, along with 10 years of experience teaching middle school math, including one year of Cambridge Lower Secondary stage 9. I’ve also coached competitive MathCounts teams, guiding students in advanced problem-solving and teamwork.

While teaching in the classroom, I also taught with Florida virtual school for five years. I guided 15 - 20 students individually through their coursework, meeting virtually to review topics, coursework, and exam answers, keeping each student organized and on track to finish each semester on time. Throughout my teaching career I have also tutored students outside of the classroom in a variety of STEM topics.

I hold a B.A. in Biological Science from Smith College, with additional coursework at Vassar College, and a Master of Science in Animals and Public Policy from Tufts University.

Whether you're preparing for a test, catching up on missed content, or looking to deepen your understanding, I offer supportive, customized tutoring to help students succeed.

Biology

Biology

A love for biology led to a degree in Biological Sciences and employment as a STEM teacher, including biology, chemistry, and zoology.
Chemistry

Chemistry

I recently taught high school chemistry for 4 years. My favorite topics are the periodic table and stoichiometry.
Earth Science

Earth Science

As a high school science teacher I taught a full-year Earth-Space Science course for 4 years. I also taught Earth-Space Science as part of a 9th grade curriculum class and to middle school students.
Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

I was a STEM teacher for over twenty years - for 10 years I specifically taught 6th, 7th, and 8th grade math. I provided one-on-one and group tutoring for students as well to help understand the concepts. I also tutored elementary students and assisted elementary teachers with some lessons. For my last three years of teaching I was the MathCounts coach, preparing middle school students for state and national competitions.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I taught middle school math for about 10 years and assisted with elementary age students. I really enjoy working one on one to make sure concepts are understood.
GED

GED

As a middle and high school STEM teacher, I can help students prepare for the math and science portions of the GED. I would also be happy to help read over written work and help reason out problems in any subject.
Regents

Regents

I have taught multiple math and science courses over the last 20+ years. My science experience includes earth-space science, biology, chemistry, zoology, and environmental science. I have experience teaching middle school math plus algebra I and geometry. I am also able to review practice exams and explain the answers as needed.
Zoology

Zoology

I taught a full-year Zoology course for 3 years. I focused on taxonomy, adaptations, biogeography, and ecosystems. My favorite aspect of zoology is the classification system.
