I work with each study using an individual mentoring approach. Mentoring involves teaching the student the current material as well as giving them additional tools to use in the future. I employ a variety of techniques to help students accomplish their goals. I focus on the strength of the individual and everyone has the potential to learn as long as they have the right tools. Not everyone learns the same, so together we can identify the student's learning style, which will allow them to...

I work with each study using an individual mentoring approach. Mentoring involves teaching the student the current material as well as giving them additional tools to use in the future. I employ a variety of techniques to help students accomplish their goals. I focus on the strength of the individual and everyone has the potential to learn as long as they have the right tools. Not everyone learns the same, so together we can identify the student's learning style, which will allow them to adapt to course requirements.

I have over 20 years of tutoring and mentoring experience for elementary, middle school, high school, college, and graduate students in all levels of Math and Science, with strong expertise in Algebra and Chemistry at both high school and college levels.

I have served as an instructor at UT Southwestern Medical Center, an Adjunct Assistant Professor at Brookhaven College, and a Professor at Ponce School of Medicine. Taking online students.

Great tutor! Matched her teaching style to best suit my granddaughter

This was my granddaughter's first lesson with Summer and she enjoyed the lesson. She felt that this was the first time she actually understood geometry. She is looking forward to future lessons. My granddaughter was very grateful that Summer clearly explained the theory behind the equations.

Adv Chemistry and Adv Alg 2 GREAT!

Summer went over math test and helped my son understand concepts and what he did wrong. He retook the test and did wonderful! She also went over his advice chamistry material for a quiz and he did well on that also. My son said, "Summer explains stuff really well, I understand it better when she exlains it".

Patient and Skilled Writer

Summer helped with graduate level entrance essays and was very helpful in editing as well as adding ideas to enhance my work! She has experience in many different fields and writing is a strong suite! It is difficult to find writing tutors that are patient, skilled and have the time needed to produce good work! She's got it all!

On time and did a great job.

She was very good and knowledgeable. I appreciated that she gave a bit of extra time to finish a problem.

Knowledgeable Teacher

As of now, my son had couple of classes but he is enjoying him time with Summer. She seems to be having very strong knowledge in Math, Science and Language Arts, and on top it, the method of breaking / explation, seems to be very good, and which is benefiting to my son. I would strong recommend Summer!

Perfect for our Daughter

Summer truly was...She somehow figured a way to take our daughter's LEAST favorite subject and actually make it fun, and make it fun while she's on summer break!! Summer KNOWS how to teach, and how to communicate with a 13 year old who, in the beginning, didn't want to learn. The two of them are now buddies!! We were on vacation last week, and our daughter wanted to make sure she brought something back for her. I am positive this summer's tutoring with Summer will make a HUGE difference this coming school year. Worth every penny

Wonderful tutor. Very encouraging and positive!!

We have seen a major difference since Summer has been helping our daughter. Our daughter has more confidence in herself and her grades have improved tremendously. She is also understanding how she learns and what she needs to do to keep improving.
