Bio

Experience has taught me that students will meet the bar that you set for them. Raise the bar high and give them the support and structure they need and they will reach it.

I have a true love of both teaching and learning. Not much beats the feeling of seeing a student have that moment when things finally "click"! Patience and good communication skills with each individual student are key. Equally important is the willingness and ability to adapt methods of explaining a topic until you...

Experience has taught me that students will meet the bar that you set for them. Raise the bar high and give them the support and structure they need and they will reach it.

I have a true love of both teaching and learning. Not much beats the feeling of seeing a student have that moment when things finally "click"! Patience and good communication skills with each individual student are key. Equally important is the willingness and ability to adapt methods of explaining a topic until you find one that is right for that student. I enjoy working with students one on one to build their confidence and help them achieve their highest potential.

I am a summa cum laude graduate holding a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology and Mathematics. I graduated with a 4.0 GPA while taking overload courses and raising two children to very successful adulthood - so my study skills, work ethic, and organizational skills are also very strong. I have a quadruple level II teaching certification in MS and HS Mathematics, MS Science, and HS Biology.

I worked as a full time teacher at the high school level for ten years teaching several different math courses. I have also worked as an adjunct math instructor at a local college. Additionally, I have worked with students studying a wide variety of subjects and grade levels through home school and cyber school programs and am very comfortable adapting to an individual home school student's needs and abilities.

I specialize in Geometry, Algebra, Precalculus, and Trigonometry. However, I have a broad knowledge base in math and science disciplines in general and have successfully tutored a wide variety of subjects. I also have extensive experience in SAT/ACT and other standardized test preparation.

For the past eight years I have devoted myself solely to private tutoring and I must say I am one of those lucky few people who can truly say "I love my job"!!

I look forward to hearing from you and to helping you or your child achieve success!

Professional, patient and very knowledgeable

Such a wonderful experience. Cyndie was patient and never rushed my son as he worked through problems. She is knowledgeable and quickly identified areas he was struggling with. She also tailored her teaching to best suit my son's learning style. She stayed on topic until he grasped the material. He came out of his session feeling good about what he had been able to accomplish and was able to articulate the "lightbulb" moments so well that it was clear it was making sense to him. When I asked him how he would rate her on a scale of 1-5 he quickly replied "6".

Empowering Excellence: How Cyndie Transformed Our Child's Learning Journey

We have been fortunate to have Cyndie as a virtual tutor for our child over the past four years. Although our child has always excelled academically, due to COVID, we wanted to provide him additional educational support not knowing what challenges we may face due to the lock downs and circumstances that could have occurred during this pandemic. After the lock downs, we continued to hire her as a tutor, and it has been positively impactful in so many ways. We are so blessed to have Cyndie a part of our son's life. Her patience and extensive knowledge across multiple subjects have been invaluable. She employs excellent teaching techniques and provides one-on-one, customized tutoring that perfectly meets our child's unique needs. Cyndie is incredibly flexible and always encourages our child, fostering both academic growth and confidence. Due to her support and my child's work ethic and skills, he has been in the top 10% of his class year over year with multiple honorary awards. We highly recommend Cyndie to any parent seeking a dedicated and effective tutor.

Knowledgeable, patient and flexible tutor.

Cyndie helped my son with Algebra 2. He struggles with math and Cyndie helped to bring him up to a B average. She was also super flexible and let us move lessons around for tests and other activities as needed. Definitely use Cyndie if your child needs help with Algebra 2.

Patient, clear, and helpful

Cyndie explained things clearly and well. Easy to understand and helpful for the 10th grade Chemistry Regents test. Knowledgable about the specific needs for this particular test.

Physics

Excellent tutor, broke down information easily and more user friendly manner for better comprehension. Would absolutely recommend Cyndie to students looking to acquire better understanding of physics.

Maria, 2 lessons with Cyndie

Excellent Tutor

Cyndie has tutored our son in Algebra and Geometry for two years while he was in 7th and 8th grade. She has been excellent, and we have seen his math skills grow immensely. We highly recommend her as a math tutor as she meets the student at their level and works to build their confidence, make it fun and help them develop mathematically.

Great tutor

Mrs. Cyndie taught me difficult topics in a simple, straightforward and efficient way. I was able to finish studying for a test at a much quicker pace then normal, and I feel a lot more prepared then I was before.

Shady, 4 lessons with Cyndie

Patient and flexible!

My daughter had her first session with Cyndie yesterday and we are already feeling so much better about the school year! Honors Pre-Calc isn't a strong point of mine and we are so grateful to have found her!

Caryn, 23 lessons with Cyndie

Above and beyond

We are so grateful for all Cyndie’s help with math. It isn’t always a favorite subject with some students and she tries different approaches to get success. We appreciate her support with all the questions and concerns we have had! Thank you Cyndie!

A, 33 lessons with Cyndie

Awesome!

Cyndie is awesome. The only issue we had was with the responsiveness and speed of the website. I would recommend Cyndie to anyone. She tutors me in Geometry and Chemistry.
