Bio

For five years I tutored professionally for Boston's Metro West Area's most elite tutoring agency. I was named Tutor of the Month after fewer than three months with the agency, and I have become a preferred tutor for ACT and SAT preparation, essay writing/editing, and middle and high school math subjects. I have been tutoring math up to Calculus for 8 years, including my three years of volunteer tutoring in high school and college. Although I took one math class in college, my performance in...

For five years I tutored professionally for Boston's Metro West Area's most elite tutoring agency. I was named Tutor of the Month after fewer than three months with the agency, and I have become a preferred tutor for ACT and SAT preparation, essay writing/editing, and middle and high school math subjects. I have been tutoring math up to Calculus for 8 years, including my three years of volunteer tutoring in high school and college. Although I took one math class in college, my performance in math in high school, including my AP Calculus grade and exam score, has qualified me to tutor middle and high school math subjects. After my course in ACT preparation students often see composite score increases of 3-4 points. I have similar success tutoring the SAT: students can typically expect to see 200-350 point increases in their composite scores. My unique approach to these tests helps students triage questions, skim read, and learn strategies to bypass difficult math figuring on the ACT and SAT math tests. My education and concentration in English language writing while at Hamilton College has made me an elite and awarded writer and editor. As my 9-5 job -- or rather, 7-3:30 :) -- I work in nuclear energy for the Quality Department, assuring the quality of the parts we manufacture through destructive and non-destructive testing.

Please let me know what I can do for you and/or your child. I am available to answer any questions you may have about the service and/or my experience and qualifications. I am able to provide flexible scheduling and can meet you or you child at a location of your choosing.

I have been tutoring the ACT test professionally for 5 years and was the preferred ACT tutor at my former employer, JBG Educational Group.

I have tutored Algebra 1 for over 8 years both professionally and as a volunteer. I tutored Algebra 1 in high school through the National Honors Society, in college through Hamilton College’s Study Buddies program, and professionally for five years both through an agency and on my own. I have a mastery of Algebra 1 as well as Pre-Algebra and Algebra 2, which allows me to ensure that students have no gaps in knowledge of material prior to Algebra 1.
Algebra 2

I have been tutoring Algebra 2 for 8 years, including 5 years as a professional. My extensive knowledge of math up to Algebra 2, as well as Pre-calculus, has made me an effective tutor. I have logged hundreds of hours tutoring Algebra 2.

For the past four years I have tutored professionally, mostly through an agency in the Boston, Massachusetts area.

I have tutored elementary school students for seven years and have seen their math, literacy, reading, science, and general learning abilities increase. I try to make lessons fun and engaging and often utilize educational games. Within this age group, I have the most experience with students in grades 3-6.
