MEdAbout Susan
After 25 years as an Electrical Engineer, I have chosen to change careers to teaching mathematics and technology to middle and high school students. I spent many years mentoring electricians through apprenticeship programs and noticed that I spent much of my time teaching them mathematics. I also loved working with students in middle school

Approved subjects
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
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
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
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
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.
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.
