TEAS

TEAS

I have a strong understanding of each section (Math, Reading, Language Arts, Science) of the TEAS test. My academic background and certifications are also strong in these areas. I have successfully prepared several students for the TEAS exam. I tailor the sessions toward the needs of each student (ex: some students need help with Math more than Reading and vice versa). For some students taking the TEAS, it is a matter of understanding the vocabulary words that are being used in each question. Once they learn the meanings of the terminology or phrases being used, they are able to increase the number of questions that they answer correctly. For other students, it is a matter of remediating or refining their skills in a certain area. I structure and modify the lessons (and types of preparation materials used) according to the students' individual needs.
United States History

I personalize every lesson to meet each student's learning style and academic goals, whether they need help with classroom assignments, AP U.S. History, standardized test preparation, or improving overall grades. My approach emphasizes understanding historical context, analyzing primary and secondary sources, and making meaningful connections between past events and today's world. I strive to create an engaging, supportive learning environment that builds confidence and inspires a lasting appreciation for American history.

Suzanne made the concepts very easy to learn, I was able to apply what I learned in our session to the rest of my weeks course work. Great tutor!!!

Mark, 6 lessons with Suzanne

Great tutor. Knows the subjects well!

Suzanne helped me with math for the general knowledge test. She showed me step by step for each problem. I feel more prepared for my test and would recommend her to anyone! Thanks for all your help, Suzanne.

Andrea, 3 lessons with Suzanne

Excellent Tutor!

Suzanne is an excellent tutor. She prepared my 13 year old son for his FCAT testing in which he did very well. She made things easy for him to understand and learn. He has retained all the knowledge and is very grateful to her. I highly recommend her.

Edmee, 115 lessons with Suzanne

Listens well, and makes sure I understand the material before moving on!

Suzanne was awesome! During the lesson, she would go over the problems I struggled with and then she would give me a set of questions to answer. When I was working the problems, I made simple careless mistakes and Suzanne taught me how to avoid them in the future. The next day, I spent some time re-working those problems along with a list of other ones out of my TEAS study guide, and I got each and every problem right! Thank you so much for your help and I look forward to our next session on Sunday. I already have a few more different types of problems to ask you about.

Kayla, 3 lessons with Suzanne
