Bio

Each person learns differently. Reading from a text works great for some people. But in my experience, most students understand a subject better when they learn through using real examples, sketches, and visual materials. I have enjoyed helping students "get it" for over 20 years as a teacher, university faculty member, tutor, and director of a nonprofit school and learning center. Now I want to use that experience to help you succeed.

Each person learns differently. Reading from a text works great for some people.

I have enjoyed helping students "get it" for over 20 years as a teacher, university faculty member, tutor, and director of a nonprofit school and learning center. Now I want to use that experience to help you succeed.

I majored in science as an undergrad, and always loved science and math. I enjoy helping students realize that, with the right approach, they can (at least) 'get through' finite math, calculus, or physics even if it's the last class they will take in that area. I'll share hints and tips so your work - whether it's doing a math example, editing a research paper, or getting ready to take the Praxis, TEAS, Hesi, ACT, ASVAB or other test - makes sense to you.

My doctorate in education focused on how people can learn best using books, materials, and 'stuff' (I ran the education departments at zoos and museums). I have an extensive background helping students with dyslexia and other learning challenges realize their potential. I've been told that my patience and a sense of humor make learning more fun too!

Need a math tutor? I can help students see the patterns in Finite Math, Algebra, Precalc, and Calculus that make it easier to complete an assignment or take a test. The steps that we go through make sense. You can learn this stuff even if you have not taken a math class in years!

Science was always one of my favorite subjects -- As a kid, I was always taking things apart or looking at something under the microscope. Too many students get stuck in all the vocabulary and miss how topics connect. That's a lousy way to learn, I can help you work through problems so they make sense on your homework or when it's time for the next exam!

Don't struggle -- please contact me to see how I can work with you to get the most out of your classes or get a better score on that important entranc

Proofreading

Proofreading can be a challenge because you often don't "see" things objectively after you have written them. There are also so many different rules for citations and references depending on your field or industry. I have years of successful experience teaching writing and editing at all age levels, along with proofreading papers, journals, and other materials for education, college, and business applications.

Vocabulary

A good vocabulary is important for so many areas -- in school, in business communication, writing, and just everyday emails. Most tests -- SAT, GRE, PRAXIS, ACT -- have a specific vocabulary section. I have over 20 years of experience helping people of all ages develop and improve their vocabulary skills as a teacher, tutor, and facilitator.

Denise makes it make sense and I am not the sharpest crayon however she makes you feel like it the way she breaks it down. Anyone who needs a nursing tutor go with Denise I promise if you listen to her and study on the side you’re golden💗💕💗💕

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

She is the best teacher/tutor. She made me bump up my HESI grade. she gets straight to the point. She teaches so can understand why the body does what it does and why and how. I will be recommending her to everyone who needs it.

Mitshell, 4 lessons with Denise

Denise is amazing!

I had went to Denise looking for help in increasing my HESI biology score and confidence within A&P. Overall, I increased my bio score 12% and scored a 96% in A&P!!! Denise used practice quizzes, and explained every question and even further. She even gave me packets to do on my own that we reviewed again on our next zoom. 10/10 recommend Denise!!!

My teacher is very polite and very welcoming.

Ms. Denise was very nice and friendly. I can tell she will be great to work with! On my first lesson I have already learned new and great information that I know it will help me pass my medical exam. Today we focused on English.

She has giving me vocabulary words and helping me to break them down in a way I can understand some words in the context of a sentence. Denise is an outsta

Brilliant!

I Highly recommend. Denise makes things clear and easy to understand. She took a 3 hour Anatomy & Physiology lecture and explained it better in out first session.

My high school daughter really benefited from Denise’s physics tutoring. She explained things very clearly and my daughter was feeling more confident afterwards. She’s excited for their next session.
