I am an experienced tutor who is available to work with students either one-on-one or in small groups. I take a personal interest in each student's progress and tailor the lessons according to the needs of the individual.

For TEAS Prep, I can assist you with all TEAS subjects, including math, reading, English, and science sections (scientific reasoning, life science, anatomy and physiology, and chemistry/physical science).
I live in Rochester, New York, and I have taught the TEAS prep course at Rochester Regional Health Care multiple times. In addition, I have successfully taught the TEAS prep course to individual students hundreds of times. My qualifications include a BA in English from the University of Rochester, as well as a BS in biology and DPM degree from Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine in Chicago. In the past, I have been a classroom teacher for math (algebra and geometry) in a local high school.

For SAT prep, I focus on strategies and test-taking skills, as well as practice and explanations with actual testing material. I am able to teach and review math skills and operations, as well as English grammar, vocabulary, and reading comprehension specific to the SAT.

In addition to SAT prep, I am an experienced math tutor for middle school math through Regents geometry. I have experience tutoring students with a variety of different learning styles. In addition to academics, I provide support and encouragement, emphasize strengths, and focus on creating a positive, fun learning experience. I hold a B.A. in English from the University of Rochester, as well as a B.S. in Biology and D.P.M. medical degree from Scholl College in Chicago.

Test Preparation

Accuplacer,

Accuplacer

I have been teaching and tutoring math, reading, and English for over 6 years, including preparing students for the Accuplacer test. I currently teach high school algebra and can help students prepare for all math levels for the Accuplacer, including high school algebra and geometry, as needed. In addition to holding a university degree in English, I have been preparing students for the TEAS, SAT and ACT tests for over six years, and I am proficient in all areas of reading and writing preparation.
TEAS,

TEAS

The TEAS exam (Test of Essential Academic Skills) is an admissions test for nursing school. It includes tests of reading, English, math, and science. I have experience tutoring both the TEAS and the TABE (a different nursing school admissions test) which is similar to the TEAS albeit less challenging. Not only am I an experienced math tutor (algebra, geometry, and SAT/ACT prep), I hold a BA in English from the University of Rochester and BS Biology and DPM (Doctor of Podiatric Medicine) degrees from Scholl College in Chicago. My educational background includes an entire spectrum of college-level biology and chemistry courses in addition to the math and English courses.

Amazing teacher, very patient

My first lesson was great! I was nervous to start but after meeting Cynthia and going over what was going to happen I felt more relaxed. Very patient and is willing to work with you at your pace and keep practicing things you need help on. She gives lots of resources and examples which are very helpful.

Great Tutor

I was very nervous about doing online tutoring didn’t think it would work for me thought I would do better one on one, but Cynthia is fantastic I’m enjoying my sessions working with her. Also she’s very knowledgeable about the teas test which is exactly what I was look for! She also given me lots of worksheets to practice with which have helped so much! I

Thank you so much, Stephanie!

Knowledgeable and easy to work with!

Cynthia taught me the difference between complex sentences, simple sentences, and how to know how to answer questions., I learned a lot in that 1 hour than I did in 3 days of studying on my own. Would highly recommend!!

Thank you so much 😊

Helpful

Always willing to teach according to how I learn. I appreciate the fact that she will review with me more than once until I completely understand. She will also tutor in multiple topics and subjects for the sake of what I’m studying. Especially since I am focused on so many things; it’s helpful that 1 person can tutor in more than one subject.

Very Knowledgeable Tutor for a flip class

I just started my session with Ms. Cynthia for the Teas prep, it’s been great so far. Though I am nervous about the test, I feel like it is going to be a wonderful experience. I’m really looking forward to our next sessions in the future.

Super knowledgeable and concise

Cynthia tutored me for my upcoming TEAS 7 exam. She has vast knowledge on all the subjects covered on the exam. Cynthia also has a really great way of explaining complex topics. Definitely recommend!

Very efficient!

My 12 year old received help in prealgebra and he was very confident by the end. I like that Cynthia did not waste time and used every minute to the fullest.

TEAS Tutor

I never ever took the TEAS and had no idea what to expect. There was a lot of "what ifs" thoughts in my head the whole time I was tutoring with Cynthia and thinking about the TEAS. At the beginning, I knew.... Nothing. I took a practice test myself, and I couldn't solve any problems at all!!. I knew I needed a tutor, and chose Cynthia. She told me her goal is to get me to a proficient score (since I only had a month to study). Even with the strong "what ifs" thoughts, I trusted Cynthia and did all the work she gave me to study. It was test day, and got more than the proficient score! I only had about 8 sessions (some 1 1/2 hours but most were just 1 hour). If you never took the TEAS, I think Cynthia is the best tutor for you : ). She's realistic, explains in simple terms and gets straight to the point. Doesn't believe in wasting your time, once you know how to do the problem, she will teach you another but gives worksheets on what you learned (and lots of it). Definitely worth all the time, effort, and money I spent with her!
