Hi! My name is Susan Cavness, and I am excited for the opportunity to be your online tutor. I have been teaching science and math for 19 years and have had the pleasure of working with students of all ages and backgrounds. My tutoring philosophy is centered around creating a positive and engaging learning environment, where students feel successful and gain confidence in their skills and abilities.

Everyone has a unique learning style, and it’s my job as your tutor to adapt my teaching approach to meet your needs. My goal as a tutor is to help you achieve your academic goals and prepare you for success in future courses.

In addition to tutoring specific courses, I also enjoy working with students as a mentor for science fair projects. From helping determine project ideas to identifying methodologies and analyzing data, I work with you to develop a plan from start to finish.

I am new to Wyzant, not new to tutoring!!! I have been tutoring online since 2020 and have helped numerous students achieve success. I’m excited to get to know you and work together to help you achieve academic success!

The Best!

My daughter worked with two previous chemistry tutors before we found Susan. She’s the best! So encouraging and has a way of explaining things to my daughter so she can understand. She is a gifted teacher!

Linda, 26 lessons with Susan

Exceptional Science Mentor!

We had an incredible experience with Susan as a mentor for my daughter's science project. The call was informative, engaging, and my daughter learned a lot. Susan answered all her questions patiently and sparked even more enthusiasm for the project. My daughter is excited to continue working with her! I highly recommend Susan to any student looking for a knowledgeable and supportive mentor in science. Thank you, Susan, for your dedication and expertise!

Knowledgeable and kind tutor

Susan helped me brainstorm and plan ideas for my science fair project on material/textile science. She's very knowledgeable in so many diverse fields, and I highly recommend her for any student.

Jessica, 4 lessons with Susan

Extremely Well Versed and Kind Tutor

She has taught me so much already in the initial sessions that we have had. She is extremely helpful and kind at teaching, she helps digest material that might seem tricky. Specifically for me in physics I am in a fast paced class, where a lot of topics are given in a short time frame. She makes this manageable and always is there to help me for my tests. I give her 5 stars.
