About Yvonne


Bio

I specialize in math up to precalculus, general chemistry up to college level, and SAT/ACT/ISEE/STAAR/IB test prep. My main goal is to teach my students to become their own problem solvers - to pause and think about how they can apply what they already know. I specialize in making algebra and chemistry easy as pie - they're my favorite subjects!

Regarding the SAT, I provide practice problems based entirely on the 2024 Digital SAT practice tests. I provide many similar examples in a row,...

I specialize in making algebra and chemistry easy as pie - they're my favorite subjects!

Regarding the SAT, I provide practice problems based entirely on the 2024 Digital SAT practice tests. I provide many similar examples in a row, so every student is prepared for all question types and difficulty levels. I drill all test taking strategies every session and participation is required.

And a little about me...
I have over 16 years of tutoring experience, and I take my job as a tutor very seriously! I love to explore the world we live in, and I hope to inspire that curiosity in all of my students. I began my tutoring career during my college years working for Miami University's tutoring center (The Rinella Learning Center). I have also worked for Varsity Tutors, VIPKid, Tutor.com, and Turito. I absolutely love what I do, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I am a huge animal lover, so I went ahead and majored in zoology (my favorite animals being elephants, giraffes, and mastiffs). I love dancing, Pilates, lifting weights, and going for a run in the park. When I'm not hopping around Houston, one can find me nurturing my creativity, for it is the key to problem solving! I love playing the guitar, painting (acrylics & oils), sewing, clay sculpting, and knitting/crocheting gifts for my most dear.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I am a math person and have excelled in any course that is math related. I have tutored up to college level algebra II at Miami University, and I have the understanding and insight of mathematics to help any student succeed in algebra I! Gain a solid foundation for all future math courses by mastering order of operations. Master topics such as: expressing variables adding/subtracting integers adding/subtracting rational numbers multiply/dividing rational numbers solving equations solving inequalities linear equations graphing polynomials data analysis radicals factoring
Chemistry

Chemistry

I have three years of chemistry tutoring at the college level. Chemistry is presumed to be a very difficult subject for most, but most people cannot fully understand this subject by reading a text book or listening to a lecture. It is a very literal subject best explained using visual aids, examples, and real life scenarios. Master topics such as: matter stoichiometry enthalpy balancing equations oxidation numbers gas laws kinetics acid/base reactions rate of reaction naming compounds forming products nuclear chemistry
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

Mastering basic math principles at the elementary level is crucial for success in all future math courses. Struggling in math is not uncommon for elementary students, but with a little bit of patience, explanation, and practice, math will no longer be a source of anxiety and disappointment. Believe it or not, but I can make math fun for your little one! Master life skills such as: telling time counting coins measurements English and metric systems Master topics such as: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division in whole numbers, fractions, and decimals multiplication tables number patterns and mathematical trends factorization
Elementary Science

Elementary Science

Science can be so much fun in elementary school because students learn more about how their world works. A lot of students need to feel a connection with science in order to be motivated to succeed, and it is my job to find that connection! Master topics such as: the basics of matter (atoms and molecules) basic anatomy and systems in the body ecology and the environment animals, habitats, and ecosystems laboratory practices the scientific method introductory biology
Geometry

Geometry

As a tutor, it is my job to teach students HOW to understand geometry. Success in geometry is all about developing a literal thought process, not just memorizing theorems, laws, and rules. Master topics such as: linear expressions angles parallelograms triangles polygons congruence parameter and surface area for 2D shapes parameter, surface area, and volume for 3D shapes theorems and laws
Grammar

Grammar

Understanding how to correctly use grammar is key in becoming a good writer. Grammar is one of those subjects that over the course of a lifetime will never go away, and fortunately, learning correct grammar is just like learning how to ride a bike. Once you figure it out, you never forget! Master topics such as: sentence structure diagramming clauses and phrases verb conjugations correct case of pronouns run-on sentences subordinate and coordinate conjunctions punctuation capitalization abbreviations
ISEE

ISEE

I tutored for the ISEE when I worked for Varsity Tutors. I helped students review and practice strategies for the 5 sections on the ISEE. Verbal Section -Vocabulary strategies: memorizing prefixes and roots, applying prefixes and roots to the definition, labeling words as positive/negative, ruling out synonyms, using own context -Sentence Completion: matching positive/negative, using context clues, applying process of elimination Mathematics Section -practice basic math skills such as multiplication tables, long-division, trends in numbers, and shortcuts to calculating -review fundamentals of algebra, geometry, and reading graphs -breaking down word problems Quantitative Section -review rules for eliminating certain answer choices -practice making column A look like column B -incorporating the importance of negative numbers and the concepts of greater than or less than Reading Section -review the 5 types of reading questions -practice paying attention to what is stated in the passage -focus on context clues to find what the author is inferring Writing Section -practice setting up an outline for intro, body, conclusion essay -go over the fundamentals for writing a persuasive essay as well as an essay in response to an open-ended question -practice using metaphors and imagery to be descriptive as well as spark the reader's interest
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

Taking the time to master prealgebra will set your child up for succeeding in any future math course. It is so important that students take the time to understand and master prealgebra because these basic principles are applied all the way through high school and beyond. Confidence in this subject area is very important! Master topics such as: order of operations calculating exponents writing algebraic expressions word problems distribution graphing
SAT Math

SAT Math

I have worked for the tutoring company, Turito, as an SAT tutor for all sections of the SAT test. Turito trained me and tested my ability to effectively tutor difficult subject material. I worked for them for over a year, and I continue to tutor SAT independently.
Zoology

Zoology

I majored in zoology at Miami University because I love learning about animals and uncovering all aspects of life. My senior capstone was in animal behavior, and I have taken courses such as invertebrate zoology, environmental ecology, cell biology, and primate biology and behavior. I love sharing my interest and passion for the beautiful and puzzling animal kingdom!

Need a kind, understanding, and patient tutor for your child? Vonnie is making a huge difference in my daughter's progress in Algebra. What I love is the fact hat Vonnie listens to what our needs are as a family. She is flexible and adjusts curriculum, and meets students right where they are. I no longer see frustration as my daughter works through her problems! Vonnie is a joy and we just love her!!!

Great ISEE Prep Tutor

Vonnie helped my children learn test-taking strategies, as well as teaching and reviewing test subject matters. She gave them small, manageable daily homework assignments -- plus lots of encouragement. We were very pleased with the test results.
