My name is Shannon. I am a patient and experienced tutor since 2006. I have a B.S. in Honors Biology, M.S. in Biology, and M.S. in Sustainable Management as well as a teaching certificate. I have a passion for teaching and helping students with the concepts.

In my tutoring sessions I use Socrates's method. I use questions to draw the answer out of the student, thereby facilitating long term memory instead of instant answers without thinking. I have found my students improve their overall grade this way not just their homework grade. I also help teach the students how to recognize what type of question is being and how to answer that question.

I look forward to working with all of you and helping your school year be successful!

Great tutor!

Shannon has helped my daughter enormously with Chemistry this past summer and is currently helping her with microbiology. She is dependable and flexible with my daughter’s very busy schedule. I would highly recommend Shannon as a tutor.

Roxanne, 17 lessons with Shannon

Very effective tutor

Shannon uses the Socratic method in a very effective way. My daughter was truly struggling with chemistry and went from a C at the start of the year to a possible A by the end of the year. My daughter is not STEM oriented at all, so this is a major accomplishment and we are very proud of our daughter! We owe a lot to Shannon, as she tries very hard to make sure my daughter understands a concept. Highly recommend!

Excellent tutor!

Shannon really helped my son with biology! He felt so much more confident after working with her, as she helped him to understood the concepts. We will definitely use Shannon again for tutoring!

Great from the very start!

My daughter is studying AP Bio. Shannon was prepared and knowledgeable. They plan on working together for the semester. She was able to be very flexible on times to meet and on material they are covering.

Great tutor

Positive, Personable Tutor

Shannon was incredibly helpful in her explanations. What I didn't understand right away, she provided further detail and even offered different explanations until it clicked. We worked through practice problems efficiently and were able to push through many concepts during our 2-hour session. Shannon is positive and personable, which is particularly helpful when studying difficult topics in Chemistry.

Tutoring 10/17

We have already seen a difference in Kate's math grades. We know she has her struggles with math. However, she LOVES Ms. Shannon & actually looks forward to doing math with Shannon!! That alone is priceless to us. Thank you to Ms. Shannon for being such a great role model :-)

Knowledgeable and encouraging tutor.

On 1st impression Shannon was confident and knowledgeable, made daughter comfortable right away, and provided multiple study tips to better prepare for exams. We will continue to work with Shannon for remainder of semester.
