Experience

I have been tutoring for 14+ years and have worked with 80+ students, ages 5 to 75, in math (up to pre-calculus), English (reading, writing, ESL), science (biology, chemistry, physics), college applications, test prep (SAT I & II), and study skills My greatest qualities and strengths as a tutor are empathy, patience and gentleness. I can accommodate to a diverse group of people and tap into their personal strengths. I can help students feel SAFE to be fully themselves and to learn from their mistakes. Since students' self-confidence and personal interests are essential for their growth, I place a heavy emphasis on boosting self-esteem and using different means of motivation. My goal is to help students UNDERSTAND and ENJOY the material rather than simply memorize relevant information. I emphasize skills that are useful in life, not simply in academics.
