I have taught all levels of Mathematics and tutored Mathematics for many years. I have taught and tutored and Mathematics in New York State and in South Carolina for many years. I have a Master of Science in Education from The College at Brockport granted August 1982. I am New York State certified to teach Mathematics seven through twelve.

I am very patient with all the people that I tutor. I have been able to break down difficult topics in Mathematics, so that students can understand them. I work very well with students with learning challenges. I work well with people of any age group from children to adults. I will work diligently to ensure the students I tutor develop an appreciation for Mathematics and increased content knowledge in the course they are taking. I believe that the best way to learn Mathematics is by constantly doing your assignments. I will work with the student to
make sure they achieve the best that is within them. I look forward to working with students and parents to achieve success.
Sincerely,
Raymond

I have tutored people successfully in the A.C.T. for many years. It is important for students to do well on these tests in order to avoid taking prerequisite math classes in college before taking required courses needed for their major. By teaching students simple and practical ways to solve problems they are able to score higher on the test and have a better appreciation for mathematics.
ADHD

ADHD

I am a certified New York State mathematics teacher grades seven through twelve. I have tutored and taught mathematics successfully to students of all ages who exhibit ADD/ADHD tendencies. I also have a nineteen year-old son who deals with the effects of ADD/ADHD from time to time. I have been able to help him be successful in his academic pursuits. My tutoring and teaching techniques for this unique group is to be patient and explain things as simply as possible.

Special Needs

Special Needs

I am a New York State certified mathematics teacher grades seven through twelve. Three of my sons are special needs children. One son has Aspergers syndrome. One son is somewhere on the autism spectrum without a specific diagnosis. My third son has ADD/ADHD tendencies at times. He was diagnosed when he was very young. My tutoring and teaching techniques allow me to be patient and explain things thoroughly to allow my sons to learn and flourish.

Excellent Tutor for HS Regents Geometry

We have been working with Ray for over 4 months; usually on a weekly basis but sometimes more frequent if needed to help our daughter with Regents Geometry. Ray is a great tutor and a good motivator as well. He genuinely cares how his students are doing. and will find new ways to explain a solution if the student is having problems with it. Also, Ray took the time to personally work on review packets we provided to him before the lesson so that he was ready to teach and help, instead of trying to solve the problems while with our daughter. I am very happy that we were able to have Ray for our daughter's tutor, and highly recommend him to others.
