"Very helpful and very kind"
- LAURA, Fredericksburg, VA on 3/9/17My son is struggling with Trig. Cynthia was very understanding, helpful, and kind. I really like how she wanted us to connect her with the classroom teacher so that they could work in tandem. My son is still struggling, but rather than being in a state of despair, he is working his way toward hopeful.

Approved subjects are in bold.
Approved subjects
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
ACT Science
I have received training for the ACT and SAT standardized college entrance exams and I use the College board text book for tutoring the SAT exam. I also tutor math and science for the Virginia math and biology SOL. I prepared students from the 4th grade math through algebra II to take the Virginia math SOL. I can help your son or daughter as well.

Biology
I am a Professor of Pathobiology. I have been teaching biology over 15 years at the college level and often tutor biology to high school students on the side. All I need is old tests, quizzes and homework assignments to clarify concepts missed in class. For help understanding current concepts, I ask to see the text book or worksheets to maintain continuity with the teacher.
Botany
I have completed several undergraduate level courses in botany including general botany, plant physiology, plant morphology, identification and mounting and preserving of specimens. I keep plants as pets and often bring them to class to demonstrate morphology. I have also conducted experiments (mostly with my children) on plant physiology. Understanding plants is a major concept in General Biology 102 in the Virginia Community College System learning objectives.

I have studied the mechanisms in memory, have two ADHD sons that I had to teach organizational skills, received counseling on how to help these two sons, and I teach test preparation and test taking skills to my college students. I am also highly organized with the use of lists, calendars and agendas. I raised 4 children so I understand developmental milestones. I can teach any core subject on the elementary level. I can also teach study skills.
Elementary Math
