With nearly 3 decades of experience, I have tutored hundreds of at-risk high students and adults to success on the GED. I hold a bachelor's degree in Mathematics and a master's degree in education. Recently retired from classroom instruction, I taught science and mathematics for more than 20 years at the middle school, high school, and community college levels. During my high school years, I served as the AP Coordinator, Department Head, and teacher of Statistics and Calculus AB & BC. My test prep students are attending or have attended colleges and universities to include: Columbia, Harva [more]
Writing is hard. Formal writing can be even harder. Maybe you have to write a paper for school. Maybe you want someone to look at your thesis or statement of purpose. Maybe you just want to improve your writing. The best way to improve is to practice with someone who's been there. Together, we can identify your weaknesses, hone your instincts, and learn the craft of formal writing - a skill that will serve you throughout your life and career. I have a variety of formal writing experiences. ... [more]
With two years of teaching High School, I understand the frustrations and pressures behind the GED. Fortunately, I have tutored the GED for the pass two years, and it's one of my favorite tests to prepare students for. All of my students that I worked with not only pass the GED, but flourish on the exam when they first take it. Hello everyone, I am a recent Berkeley graduate Cum Laude with a Degree in English. My passion is tutoring English and Math because I believe in the power of education and its ability to inspire lives for the better. I have tutored Math and English for the past four ye [more]

I started teaching math to a students' group as a volunteer teaching at the elementary school, middle school and high school level. I also tutored individuals on a one-on-one basis. I treat my students with respect and make sure they understand the lesson before we move to the next one. I worked for about 10 years for UCLA as Computer Programmer Analyst. During those years I learned to be patient which is an important quality for a tutor. I am looking forward to making a difference in a ch... [more]
I'm an experienced special education teacher and homeschool tutor who is patient and supportive. For over 10 years, I have worked with children from preschool through high school in the areas of Mathematics, Reading, Comprehension, Writing, and more. I create lessons that motivate students to learn and modify material for ultimate success in learning. Through the use of multisensory activities, students are able to gain an understanding of their academic subjects. My most recent experience i... [more]
My greatest strength as a tutor (beyond really knowing the subjects I tutor) is my ability to adapt to and match the way you learn. A close second is my ability to take abstract concepts and make them much more understandable. I don?t do ?tricks? since it takes as much effort to memorize tons of tricks as it does to actually learn the stuff (though I do have plenty of ideas on how to do things more easily). What I do do is teach solid theory, techniques, and study skills as simply and directl... [more]
I have a Ph.D. in Educational Policy Studies and a Master?s in Higher Education. I teach because I believe that all students have the capacity to achieve their fullest academic potential. I have years of tutoring experience. Most recently, I tutored students in K-12 in the Champaign-Urbana and Rantoul school districts in Illinois. It is extremely rewarding to see my students excited about the curriculum material after working through problem-solving and practice exercises! Their pre- and post... [more]
Forty years of teaching Mathematics in High Schools, public and private, foreign and domestic, traditional and alternative, magnet and remedial, have provided me with many experiences to learn three basic principles for teaching and tutoring. The first is that the primary information that a teacher needs to know is what it is that the learner needs to learn. The second is that every lesson must be a success for the student. And the third is that the lesson must start at the level of the stud... [more]
When I speak with parents, I am often asked the difficult but fair question: "Why does my child need a math tutor?" Beyond getting an "A" in the classroom and boosting the student's GPA, the benefits of a math tutor are not clear. After all, the vast majority of my students will not pursue a career in math, science or engineering. However, what I do know is that all my students will need to be critical thinkers and problems solvers if they want to succeed as adults. My goal at every tutoring ... [more]
