About Susan

Bio

After 25 years as an Electrical Engineer, I chose to change careers to teaching mathematics and technology to students from middle school through adults. I spent many years mentoring electricians through apprenticeship programs and noticed that I spent much of my time teaching mathematics. I also loved working with students in middle and high school careers classes where I could show why learning mathematics was a necessary life skill.

After 25 years as an Electrical Engineer, I chose to change careers to teaching mathematics and technology to students from middle school through adults. I spent many years mentoring electricians through apprenticeship programs and noticed that I spent much of my time teaching mathematics. I also loved working with students in middle and high school careers classes where I could show why learning mathematics was a necessary life skill.

I completed my Master's degree in inclusive Secondary Mathematics Education at SUNY Brockport in June 2016. I have taught and privately tutored students from 5th grade through college in middle school math, Common Core Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Precalculus and Statistics. I really enjoy working one-on-one and in small group settings with students who are either struggling or need extra challenges.

Please feel free to contact me about personalized tutoring in for mathematics and electrical engineering subjects. I love helping students to learn methods to work through word problems and review for the NY Regents and College Entrance exams as well as helping adults increase their test taking skills for job improvement opportunities.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have successfully tutored many students through the Algebra 1 NY State Regents exam since Common Core was implemented. My specialty is taking the fear out of testing to allow students to do their best.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I have successfully tutored many students through the Algebra 2 NY State Regents exam since Common Core was implemented. I designed a cross-level curriculum on electrical applications of rearranging equations which helps students succeed in both mathematics and science.
Common Core

Common Core

I have recently taken two courses in teaching Common Core mathematics at the middle and high school levels at SUNY Brockport as part of my Masters program in Education where I have a 4.0 GPA. I have completed 4 semesters of observation and student teaching of Common Core mathematics including 6th and 7th grade, Algebra 1, and Geometry. I have prepared students for both the Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 & Trigonometry Regents exams through the Gillam Grant Learning Center. I enjoy teaching the process of working through word problems since this is a large component of the Common Core mathematics curriculum.
Electrical Engineering

Electrical Engineering

I have over 25 years experience as an Electrical Engineer in an industrial setting. My specialty is teaching PLC programming in a variety of controllers. I have also taught microelectronics and circuits. I enjoy working individually with people who are looking to gain their journeyman certification for the electrical trades.
IBEW/ Electrician

IBEW/ Electrician

I have over 25 years experience as an Electrical Engineer in an industrial setting working closely with IBEW members. I studied the National Electrical Code and have taught many apprentices how to efficiently find the correct code section so they can pass their journeyman's exam. I teach pre-apprentices on their algebra skills to prepare for any NJTAC-style apprenticeship entrance exam.
Regents

Regents

I have successfully tutored several students in Regents Common Core Algebra 1 and Algebra 2/Trigonometry over the past two years. I grew up in NY and successfully passed all the Regents exams all the way through high school at a Mastery level (85+) and recently had some professional development regarding the grading of the extended response questions. I can help your student understand how to gain the most points and be confidently ready for the test.
SAT Math
