"I am a Professional Online Math & Science Tutor, averaging 20-25 hours of tutoring a week. I retired after teaching fulltime in NJ public schools for over 26 years in 2018. I hold a NJ Science Teacher Certification (K-12) and a NJ Elementary Education Teacher Certification (K-8). During my public school career, I taught from grades 6-12 consisting of middle school computer classes and middle & high school science classes, including teaching AP Chemistry. Since retiring, I found I absolutely love online tutoring, and my students look forward to their lessons with me. I build their confidence and understanding. As a professional teacher, I know how to uncover the difficulties specific to each individual and guide them toward success. Rather than just explaining a concept to them, I lead my students with questions and examples so they can solve it themselves. With true understanding rather than mere memorization, grades naturally improve. I am especially good at teaching how to solve word problems." less...
