"**Helping you build your confidence and earn the credit you deserve**

The best part of this for me is watching my students overcome their particular obstacles and knowing I helped them achieve the level of success they set for themselves. My main goal is to help you achieve yours!

I'm a former certified NYS math, physics, and technology teacher. As an active supporter of STEM learning experiences and non-traditional education since the mid-90s, I volunteered in the schools and at outreach events before offering private tutoring services in 2002.

For math and science in general, I can draw from nearly two decades of work experience in various settings (office, lab, field, production, retail, distribution) and two years working directly as a certified math teacher (7-12). I've helped prepare students for high-stakes testing, like NYS high school regents and college entrance exams, using techniques tailored to the needs of the individual student. Currently tutoring students from 8th grade through college in pre-algebra, algebra (1 and 2), geometry & trig, pre-calc, and advanced algebra as well as physics and calculus.

Taking a science and math class in the same semester? I'm here to help you with both subjects!

I love physics and am able to recognize a student's difficulties from teaching and tutoring this subject for over three years. I focus on building a solid understanding of the big concepts and encouraging my students to develop a sense of the reasonableness of their results; both can really help out when a little math or decoding skill sometimes gets in the way of getting the "book answer."

I encourage you to contact me to learn more and schedule our first visit. I'm looking forward to getting to know you as we enjoy our sessions together and work through what you struggle with most!" less...
