I have been a high school math and science teacher for 22 years. I have taught classes including Algebra I, Pre-algebra, Geometry, Algebra II, Chemistry, Physics, and Astronomy. I have had experience with a wide range of math and science content, which also gives me experience with many of the concepts and strategies needed for ACT and SAT Prep. This has also given me extensive experience and knowledge of high school curriculum and expectations.
I have a BA in Mathematics Education, a MS in Education with a specialty in integrating technology in the classroom, and a 5-12 All Science endorsement.

Whether extending on a lesson or concept, or helping build understanding and confidence for students that may be struggling. I have extensive experience identifying and understanding the pitfalls and areas that can be challenging for students in a wide variety of subject areas, and in that time have developed numerous strategies and resources for helping students better learn and understand.

I have also worked extensively with students 1 on 1 to help bridge gaps in understanding, help students get caught up on homework, improve grades, and prepare for tests. This not only includes my own students, but also many students from other teachers that seek me out for help due to my ability to explain tricky concepts. As a tutor, I would bring these same strategies and qualities to our sessio
