Prior to pursuing a M.A.T., I earned a B.S. in Chemistry with a minor in Government from Utica College in 2009 and I began my collegiate work in 2005 at Mohawk Valley Community College where I studied chemistry, biology, and public policy.

I am currently a high school math teacher at Mount Markham Senior High School as well as an adjunct instructor of mathematics and chemistry for Mohawk Valley Community College. Previously, I worked at SUNY Polytechnic Institute as a professional tutor and learning center coordinator and for Herkimer County Community College as a Statistics and Integrated Algebra Instructor. I tutor college students in a variety of mathematics courses including Calculus 1 and 2, Differential Equations, Statistics, College Algebra and Trigonometry. I also provide tutoring for students taking Chemistry courses and non calculus based physics.
For the 2014-2015 school year, I worked as a long term mathematics substitute at Frankfort-Schuyler High School teaching Integrated Algebra to accelerated 8th grade students. I also acted as a Resident Chemistry Teacher at Frankfort-Schuyler as part of my Master's Degree program for the entire school year. As a Resident Teacher I completed a 10 week student teaching experience where I taught both regents chemistry and non-regents chemistry.
Prior to working at SUNY Poly, I worked as a Certified Teacher's Assistant for the Utica City School District. I was an AIS reading/math assistant as well as a Special Education Teacher's Assistant at both the elementary and middle school levels. I provided academic assistance to students with individualized education plans (IEPs).
As an undergraduate, I spent time tutoring Chemistry and mathematics courses up to calculus at Mohawk Valley Community College. I also volunteered my time to assist students at the college level prior to becoming a peer tutor. I am trying to branch out and start tutoring using Skype or other online servic

Differential Equations,

Differential Equations

I am qualified to teach differential equations because I took it in college. I feel I understand the subject enough to explain it to someone else. In the past I have helped students in differential equations understand how to complete problems in a simplified way. I have students work problems until they feel comfortable working them alone. I try to show my students how to use their books/notes to find out how to problems on their own.

All reviews excellent understanding advice short notice understandable

Knowledgeable and understanding!!

Dana is very flexible and understanding when I have had to change my daughter's session. My daughter is very happy we found her. My daughter said, "she walks through the problems in a way that helps you completely understand it at the end."

Wonderful Experience

Dana helped my group on a relatively short notice and definitely boosted our confidence for the upcoming test. Thank you!

Cassandra, 1 lesson with Dana

Excellent teacher

Dana is very knowledgeable and accomplishes a lot in an hour lesson. She is presently working on pre algebra and algebra skills with my daughter who will be entering 7th grade. There is no frustration and she makes sure my daughter understands. I am very happy and highly recommend Dana.

Leona, 3 lessons with Dana

Thorough

Dana T. is an excellent teacher/tutor. These words were expressed by my daughter, who is studying chemistry at MVCC. Dana has been easy to set up appointments with, and has been available for tutoring when my daughter has needed her. We are very pleased and are grateful for her help. Dana makes sure the content is understandable. No rushing.

Excellent educator.

My son has worked with Dana T. as a WyzAnt tutor this past summer. It is my observation that as a educator and Technology Director, she is excellent. She is a hard worker, performing her Algebra tutoring on time and done well. She is persistent in her approach to problem solving; she works well with my son, and is improving his understanding of Algebra. Her organization and attention to detail is instrumental in the success that my son is seeing with Math. My son likes Dana as an instructor; he seeks her advice and counsel on math issues. This she gives without reservation, and without condescension. She is bright, inquisitive, and I would recommend her as Math Instructor and tutor.
