Bio

Hello, prospective student! I am a Math and Physics teacher with 16 years of experience spanning classroom teaching, private tutoring, and Gifted and Talented programs. I presently tutor over 35 hours a week in Math, Science, and test prep (ACT, SAT, and ISEE).

Hello, prospective student! I am a Math and Physics teacher with 16 years of experience spanning classroom teaching, private tutoring, and Gifted and Talented programs. I presently tutor over 35 hours a week in Math, Science, and test prep (ACT, SAT, and ISEE). I have a MA in Physics Education from the University of Virginia, with an additional 15 graduate credits in Mathematics, holding dual teaching certification in Math and Physics, and published a book called SAT Math for the Garden State. I make myself available to my students, answering frantic text messages at 11pm, and occasionally meeting as early as 4:45am (during Finals week, don't ask...)!

I specialize in demystifying challenging math and physics concepts by (1) explaining concepts as clearly as possible, (2) performing examples in order to model the problem-solving process, and (3) providing several practice problems to work up to mastery. While I am a professional, I enjoy conversing in a casual tone (think more Penny, less Sheldon), as math and science are often culprits for producing anxiety in students. Whether you are aiming for that 800 on the Math SAT, or simply trying to make it through your physics course unscathed, please feel free to reach out to me and let me help you in attaining your goal!

If you'd like to try an online lesson, I meet students via Facetime, Skype, Google Meet, or Zoom (video optional- your preference!) and use an Interactive Whiteboard so you can see everything I write in real time. If you have worksheets, textbook pages, you can take a quick pic with your phone and text them to me. Usually, people who try online with me never want to see me in the flesh again! =)

I have been tutoring SAT Math since 2006, and am adept at teaching strategies, tricks, and time-saving tips for problem-solving as well as reviewing content in a condensed/easily comprehensible form. I have passion for SAT and ACT test prep, and truly feel satisfaction when a student surpasses their "dream" score. One of my students had a 680 with the goal of breaking 700; she ended up with a perfect 800 just 12 weeks later!

I've been tutoring ACT Math and Science for 7 years, and am passionate about helping students ace this exam and get into the college of their choice. Many students preparing for this exam are currently in Algebra II or the beginning of Precalc and haven't been exposed to logarithms or trig yet, so I specialize in giving a crash course of that content as well as strategies to excel on the test itself!

Great and Understandable Tutor

Lynda was a great tutor introducing my daughter to SAT Math and providing her with the tools she needs to continue her studies.

Olivia, 8 lessons with Lynda

Caring and intelligent!!

She taught me tactics on how to take the exam. We reviewed problems, which she explained exceptionally and made me feel comfortable the entire time. Great tutor!! And I've had a lot of math tutors... def my favorite !

Alicia, 6 lessons with Lynda

Highly Recommend

I would highly recommend Lynda for tutoring. She has excellent communication skills and was very timely when asked anything. My daughter previously had taken the Praxis exam and failed three times. After Lynda's tutoring a few weeks with Lynda she successfully passed the Praxis exam. I as a parent and my daughter as a student would recommend Lynda. If you or your child needs help she will get the job done quickly and will address individual needs. Thank you Lynda-you are the best!

Great SCAT Prep

Lynda was great at assessing my sons abilities. She came prepared, was knowledgable of the material that needed to be covered and was patient and kind. My son liked her very much.

Karen, 9 lessons with Lynda

Many thanks for your help!

Elizabeth was very happy with the lesson! She was full of confidence after working with you. I am sure we will be setting up more time with you as the Physics course gets harder.
