Hallo,

I hold a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering and have passed my Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) in Chemical Engineering exam, so I have to know quite a bit of math and science for me to do well in my current job! I tutor on the side to keep up with my skills and to fulfill my passion for teaching. I am extremely passionate about math, science, and engineering (especially chemistry, thermodynamics, and material and energy balances). I also did exceptionally well in both high school and college at history, writing, and reading - I continue to teach all these subjects on a regular basis.

I have a fantastic academic record. I graduated with honors from my university - not an easy feat as an engineering major. I also earned a 4.0 GPA in my college preparatory high school, and I graduated as valedictorian. I definitely fully understand every single subject I tutor.

I have tutored many students during high school, university, and now as a professional between being a teaching assistant and private tutor. My basic approach to tutoring is to see why you are struggling. For most students, it is because they aren't quite up to scratch in fundamentals, and if that is the case I will focus on solidifying those with you. After that, I will work on the problems that not understanding fundamentals caused. If your fundamentals aren't the problem, usually a student doesn't understand something because it hasn't been explained in a way that they can understand, so I will do my best to find a way to best explain them to you. This method has worked with every single student I have tutored. I will NOT do your homework for you - I will simply try to help you learn enough so that you can complete it and, more importantly, understand it on your own.

I truly hope that you consider me for tutoring - I will do the absolute best job I can to help you succeed in your academic difficulties. There is nothing more that I enjoy than helping a struggling student.

I graduated from high school with a 4.0 GPA in a college preparatory curriculum, so I have covered all the material necessary to pass a GED. In addition, I have tutored many students in every major subject area - math, science, history, and English - and all of them have succeeded in improving their understanding of the material as well as their grades.

Microsoft Word

I have used Microsoft Word ever since I was seven years old, when I was learning how to type. I am familiar with all of the editions since then - I currently use Microsoft Word 2010, which is not too different from Microsoft Word 2007. I am also very familiar with Microsoft Word 2003 and the ones before that with the .doc system as opposed to the .docx.

Flute

I took private flute lessons for eight straight years. In that time, I won every local flute competition for five years by playing extremely difficult flute literature. I was also a member of a local student orchestra for five years, and I managed to make the top level of the orchestra in that time. I played in my elementary and middle school band and participated in marching band as well as the school band in high school. I have also taught several friends how to play the flute. My forte is teaching good, basic flute techniques that aren't necessarily taught in a band setting, where most beginning flute students learn.

All reviews helpful and patient helpful extremely helpful patient

Really great!

She is so kind and highly intelligent. She helped me out last minuet, despite how late it was in her time zone. She for sure knows what she is talking about and I am confident my homework will have a high grade due to her help! Definitely requesting her again!

Elisa, 1 lesson with A

Very knowledgeable in chemistry and trigonometry

She’s always on time and spent as much time as My son needed to understand the problems. She’s very patient and explains things very well. She’s an excellent tutor and would recommend her to anyone

Colette, 3 lessons with A

Great Teacher, Very kind and understanding

She’s very kind and understanding. She will go through it with you step by step and gives you time to think for yourself. She also greatly values your time! She also really knows her stuff. Will make her my tutor again!

Zeinab, 5 lessons with A

Outstanding

A.P. really worked with my son to find the root of his sudden problems with AP Calculus. She was extremely prompt and polite, and got right to work with my son. We wish we had started using her weeks ago! After one session his confidence level is thru the roof and his anxiety is gone. She assured him with more tutoring (and hard work) that he has the capability of doing well in the class and on the AP exam. He really needed to hear that! We look forward to continuing to work with A.P.!

Trish, 4 lessons with A

Great approach

Providing AP statistics support for our senior. Great approach to breaking down the problems and making math easier to understand. Makes the student bring her along vs making the student follow them.

Melissa, 38 lessons with A

Very knowledgeable!

Great demeanor and had a lot of patience. Gave helpful insight as she tutored my son in AP Calculus. I would definitely recommend to anyone needing help in math.

Celeste, 3 lessons with A

Great results already!

Help with calculus and chemistry to prepare for exams was extremely helpful. A is very patient and willing to explain it in more than one way until the content is understood.

Holli, 27 lessons with A

Very helpful and great first session!

Helpful with my daughter to understand the game plan for her AP class. Great explanation of the material. Looking forward to the next session!

Patti, 4 lessons with A

Got her through AP Calculus

A.P. worked with our daughter to get her through her high school senior year in AP Calculus. They spent a lot of time together, including occasional evening phone calls to help with homework. A.P. did a great job! Our daughter scored a 5 on the AP exam.
