Bio

I graduated magna cum laude with a Master of Science degree in biology and a Master of Education degree. I have been fortunate to teach a wide variety of subjects at many different grade levels for 28 years before retiring. I am thankful to be able to continue to use my academic training and classroom teaching experience to tutor students in many subjects both in person and online. It is truly a fulfilling experience to see my students become more capable and confident at skills that were...

I graduated magna cum laude with a Master of Science degree in biology and a Master of Education degree. I have been fortunate to teach a wide variety of subjects at many different grade levels for 28 years before retiring. I am thankful to be able to continue to use my academic training and classroom teaching experience to tutor students in many subjects both in person and online. It is truly a fulfilling experience to see my students become more capable and confident at skills that were once difficult for them. I was also honored to be a Top 10% Wyzant Tutor for 2019.

My goal in working with my students is to make concepts understandable using different methods that are suited to each person's learning style. I also want to get to know my students as individuals, and learn about their interests and talents.

I have five years of experience teaching 7th grade math, and one year of experience teaching prealgebra. I have also worked with students during the school day and after school doing math, science, and reading STAAR interventions.

In addition to having an undergraduate and graduate degree in biology, I taught general biology classes and an ecology class as an interim instructor at Stephen F. Austin State University. While working in different public schools, I taught integrated science courses which covered physical science, chemistry, biology, and earth science concepts at the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade levels.

I am certified to teach all subjects in grades 1-8, as well as high school biology. I also have taught 7th grade Texas History for one year and 6th grade world geography for one year. I currently have the pleasure of tutoring math, reading, pre algebra, algebra and science to students ranging from 3rd grade to adult. In addition, I have assisted undergraduate and graduate students at the university level with proofreading and writing.

I hope to work with you soon and see you become more confident and successful in your studies!

Wonderful Tutor

Sheryl is a great math teacher! She's prepared, engaging, understands how to make the best of remote tutoring, utilizes the tools effectively, and communicates clearly. Our child seems to retain the information that she learns from her lessons with Sheryl, and looks forward to them each week.

Emilie, 48 lessons with Sheryl
Tutor responded:

Thank you so much for writing a review! I really enjoy being able to work with you!

Made my child feel successful in math!

My child just had her first math tutoring session with Sheryl and is feeling VERY proud of herself after working with Sheryl on challenging math topics. She has never felt this confident in math. Highly recommend and will book more tutoring sessions with her.

Danielle, 9 lessons with Sheryl
Tutor responded:

I am so pleased that your child feels better about math! It is a pleasure to work with her!

Patient but not slow! Very attentive to my daughter’s understanding of each math problem

Sheryl is extremely accommodating and helpful. Obviously knows the math and different ways to explain it so my kid understands. Definitely recommend her assistance to anyone that needs some help.

Nikki, 5 lessons with Sheryl
Tutor responded:

Thank you so much for your review, Nikki! It gives me great joy to be able to help your daughter to understand and have more confidence.

Extraordinarily patient tutor!

Sheryl worked through individual algebra 1 problems making sure every step was clear. She was so level-headed and encouraging that my son, who initially did not want to participate, kept doing more problems. We will schedule another lesson or 10!

Marcie , 4 lessons with Sheryl
Tutor responded:

I really appreciate your review, Marcie! I am so glad that I could be of help!

5th grade math tutor

This was our first lesson with Sheryl to help my daughter with her 5th grade math. She was knowledgeable, thorough, organized, and friendly. My daughter learned a lot from her in that lesson and felt comfortable working with her.

LATORA, 24 lessons with Sheryl
Tutor responded:

Thank you so much for your review, Latora! I have really enjoyed the lessons with your daughter!

Clear explanation and great patience.

Sheryl is a so kind and patience teacher. My 6 yo girl has a violin lesson and this was the very time to play. (We got her violin just one day before and we have no idea even how to hold it!) Sheryl gave her a great lesson with pictures and my daughter enjoyed her class. I was so happy to have Sheryl 's lesson. Thank you.

MELISSA, 1 lesson with Sheryl
Tutor responded:

Thank you very much for your review, Melissa. I really enjoyed the time spent with your child during our lesson!

Friendly and patient tutor

This was our first experience with Wyzant. Sheryl was very patient with my daughter who really struggles with math and staying focused. Sheryl was friendly, knowledgable and kept things light hearted when my daughter was having trouble. Thank you Sheryl!

Laura, 1 lesson with Sheryl

Thank you very much for your review, Laura!

Very Patient and Kind Tutor

Mrs. Sheryl is such a wonderful tutor. She works with my 11 year old son and helps him with his math. She has a way of making the learning easy to understand. She paces herself and reviews skills that my son was not able to grasp in the classroom. Her rates are reasonable and the Wyzant platform is user friendly. My son is able to log in to his sessions independently. Thank you Mrs. Sheryl for the support you have provided for my son!! :)
