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.

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.

Dedicated tutor

Working with Cynthia as my TEAS tutor over the past two months has been such a positive and rewarding experience. From the very beginning, she showed genuine dedication to helping me succeed. She always came prepared with helpful materials—worksheets, quizzes, practice tests—you name it. Whatever tools she had, she shared them generously to support my learning. What really stood out to me was her patience and warmth. No matter how many questions I had or how many times I needed something explained, she never made me feel rushed or discouraged. Her calm and friendly approach made it so easy to ask for help and stay motivated, even when the material got tough. Cynthia created an environment where I felt supported and encouraged. She took the time to understand my learning style and adjusted her teaching accordingly, which made a huge difference. I honestly looked forward to our sessions, and I’m so happy I had the chance to work with her. I truly enjoyed every step of this journey with Cynthia and would highly recommend her to anyone preparing for the TEAS or any other academic challenge that she offers.

Exceptional

Cynthia is truly the best tutor I've ever had! Her expertise in the TEAS exam is impressive, and her professional yet friendly demeanor makes learning a breeze. She's incredibly patient and always makes me feel comfortable asking questions. If I could shower her with twenty stars instead of just five, I absolutely would! Thank you for everything, Cynthia! Your support has made all the difference!
