Bio

As a tutor, I strive to teach a lasting understanding and knowledge that can be built upon so that my students can find the confidence and the tools that will be continually useful.

I believe that communication is key. I do my best to teach by using my student's viewpoint as the starting point then traveling to the point of understanding in a way that will facilitate future learning.

In addition to my tutoring experience, I have extensive experience helping friends and family with a variety of coursework, and so I feel that the tutoring experience should be fun, while still staying on task. I see learning as a journey that requires work but that is also very rewarding.

GENERAL EXPERIENCE
I have experience helping students prepare for the SAT, the GED, and NYS regents exams (Algebra 1, Algebra 2 / Trigonometry, Geometry, and Chemistry).

MATH
I have experience as a high school math tutor. I have worked for the MCC math department as a tutor. My degree and experience in Engineering help me to demonstrate the usefulness of math in real world applications.
I am knowledgeable in Algebra I and II, Geometry, Trigonometry, Calculus 1 and 2, and Statistic 1.

SCIENCE
I am knowledgeable in Introductory Chemistry and Trigonometry-Based Physics (High school level and college level).

I look forward to helping you reach your academic goals.

Knowledgeable and patient

Ms Elaine is helping out my daughter's Algebra 1 yearly review to prepare for Algebra 2. She is very patient. My daughter is very comfortable with her. Ms. Elaine has good volume voice. She explained accept very clearly. She is always positive. My daughter got encouraged. We will stick with Ms. Elaine for more lessons.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

My daughter failed the geometry regents in June, meaning she would have to retake it in August. Knowing we barely had any time we decided to come to Elaine for help. The sessions started off with what my daughter knew and quickly switched to what Elaine had to teach her. They went over practice tests and mostly spent that time going over questions my daughter was confused on. Elaine had my daughter do practice tests by herself and then go over them in session. My daughter retook the exam on August 20th and we just got back the score and she passed. It was a pleasure to have my daughter working with Elaine, thank you!

Very patient and knowledgeable tutor

wonderful tutor

My son is so happy we found Elaine. She is patient, kind and takes the time to explain concepts to him. He told me he feels comfortable asking her what seem to him dumb questions and she makes sure he understands the subject. Chemistry is difficult for my kid and she is helping make it easier. Thank you!

Fantastic Tutor

My son does online school so I was not sure how the tutoring process would work and how effective it would be. In addition, I was looking for one tutor who could provide tutoring in two subjects. We found Elaine and she is fantastic and made the process quite easy and enjoyable! She is helping my son with both chemistry and geometry. She is great at providing support as needed and explaining problems in a way that he can comprehend.

Excellent first session

My daughter was very happy about her first session with Elaine. Elaine is patient, kind and effective. She went over concepts she was not in class for and helped boost her confidence in her own abilities. My daughter is looking forward to her next session.
