About Sherry


Bio

After graduating from The College of NJ with a Bachelors in Business Education, I taught high school business for nine years. I designed new curriculum, taught many classes, worked with special needs students, and ran extra-curricular activities. I left on maternity leave, and was then home to raise my family, and homeschool my children. I have homeschooled multiple children from pre-k, through high school, and have covered all the subjects. I teach classes for a homeschool group.

I am K-6...

After graduating from The College of NJ with a Bachelors in Business Education, I taught high school business for nine years. I designed new curriculum, taught many classes, worked with special needs students, and ran extra-curricular activities. I left on maternity leave, and was then home to raise my family, and homeschool my children. I have homeschooled multiple children from pre-k, through high school, and have covered all the subjects. I teach classes for a homeschool group.

I am K-6 certified in NJ, as well as having my Business certifications. I have current experience tutoring lower elementary and upper elementary math and English. I also have current experience with test preparation--SAT, Praxis, and Police Chief test. I also have experience teaching STEM & programming at a beginner level.

I'm a "Jack of all trades"; able to tutor any age bracket from pre-k to adult and work with a variety of subjects and skill levels.

I look forward to hearing from you and helping you meet your educational goals.

Approved Subjects

Accuplacer

Accuplacer

I have helped many advanced high school and adult students prepare for the Accuplacer exam. This exam will get you placed in the correct classes for beginning your college career. Knowing the requirements for math and language arts is key to successfully completing many higher academic programs. Reviewing your math skills from simple calculations through Algebra, Geometry, and Probability and Statistics will help you achieve a desirable score on this exam. Reviewing the basics of English Grammar, reading, and writing skills for both short and longer essays will help you as you take this portion of the Accuplacer. I can help you learn how to navigate the test and the testing environment to achieve your potential.

Bob had another great class with Sherry. He looks forward to seeing her each week. She always has a bag of items that she has researched to keep him interested in. This week she had a very interesting article on her phone for him. He truly enjoyed that because he is trying to get more familiar with his smart phone. He is looking forward to his next class with Sherry.

Bob had another great class with Sherry. They read another interesting book, and continued to review words and sounds. Bob has come such a long way since he has been working with Sherry it’s amazing. He totally feels very comfortable with her and she is easy for him to work with her. He always looks forward to his class and always comes back and shares how good it was. We are just truly happy to have her as a part of our team.

Bob had another great class with Sherry. They were able to find some information on something that Bob had been watching on TV. It always surprises him how Sherry can find information about things that he is interested in. This keeps him very motivated and he looks forward to there time each week. Also Sherry sent homework home with him this week and he worked very hard to complete it . We say it all the time but we are so very happy to have Sherry as a part of our team.

Bob had another great class with Sherry. He took a newspaper article that I thought he would be interested in reading about Buddy Guy. However when he got there he was so amazed that Sherry had done so much research on Buddy Guy that she had an outline prepared for him. He could not believe that she had went to so much work to prepare for there class. She always goes overboard for him. We appreciate all that she does.

Bob had another great class with Sherry. He took a newspaper article that I thought he would be interested in reading about a dog. He said they read the article twice and he was really proud of himself. He continues to grow with Sherry and we know that he would not be continuing on this journey without her. We are so grateful to have her as a part of our lives.

Bob had another great class with Sherry. They finished a book that Bob has had for many years and it was a goal that he achieved. I’m so proud of him for continuing to push himself. However I fully understand that without Sherry he would not be where he is today. Sherry is a bright light that he looks forward to seeing each week. She is one of his priority that he tries to let nothing get in his way to not be able to go. We truly appreciate and are very grateful to her as part of our team.

He has been working with Sherry a little more than two years, and he is never not excited to see her or bored with the information that she provides.

Bob had another great class with Sherry. He was so happy to see her because it was her birthday and he had brought her a bouquet of flowers. He truly appreciates all of the hard work that Sherry does for him. He has been with her a little more than two years and he has come so far. This is one of the main things that he looks forward to in his week.

Bob had another great class with Sherry. He has not seen her for awhile because he was out sick. Bob was so happy to be getting back with his class. Sherry had him read some exciting stories. He is always impressed with the research that she does to bring him things that he is interested in. She told him that he was doing well which I can see the improvement too. I say it all the time we are just so happy to have Sherry as part of our team.
