"I am a certified teacher in 4 areas: Math, Science, Social Studies and Business Technology. I have a undergraduate degree from Northwestern University in Illinois and a MBA in Finance from Temple University. I have been teaching in Philadelphia for the past eight years in both Math and Science, with a little technology thrown in through my work with the robotics team at the high school. I have taught Algebra 1, Statistics and PreCalculus - but my true love is Geometry. In Science, I have taught Physical Science, Earth Science, Environmental Science and Astronomy. And, yes, I have my own telescope!
I have tutored in the Elkins Park area for over ten years, primarily in middle school and high school mathematics. In addition to the subject areas I teach, I like to concentrate with all my students on finding the right set of skills and study habits to meet their goals. With the emphasis on testing in schools today, I work on how to reduce the stress of test-taking. My students tell me that they "like" math and science better after woking with me. I believe that change in attitude, and a bit of work, can make all the difference!
I truly enjoy working with students one-on one. There is nothing more satisfying than helping a young person conquer a concept that they found challenging." less...
