Recently retired high school teacher and many-year, teacher of the year, Science Fair coordinator. I was a pre-med major, and have taught General Biology (at 'gifted,' general and 'special needs' levels), Human Anatomy, AP Environmental Science, Earth Science, Physical Science and Oceanography and Chemistry for a short time.
Outside of the classroom I loved being a Boy-Scout troop master and going on outings (my son was part of the troop). I love scuba diving, camping, fishing, kayaking....

Patience, patience, patience and persistence. One-on-one learning is very effective and the focus is all on the topic. I have always offered after school help and was usually the last teacher out of the building. Should you decide to hire me- our first step is to find out what you best learning modality is- are you an audio learner? a visual learner? a kinesthetic learner? Next we find out how good your memory is and learn ways to improve it. Finally I will help you with techniques on test taking and how you can improve your scores.
I prefer to come to you- in an environment that you are comfortable and feel safe in, but where there are no or minimal distractions. The learning techniques I teach you can be used in ANY subject.
