Research indicates that tutoring is the most effective approach to learning. This is especially true for students that do not have the prior knowledge, habits, or academic circumstances they need to achieve their goal. However, it is also very true for advanced students taking difficult upper-level courses while striving to succeed and achieve their aspirations.

I use my training and experience as an educator, the depth and breadth of my content knowledge, and my enthusiastic and nurturing tutoring approach to elevate academic performance, confidence, independent reasoning skills, and motivation.  My goals while tutoring include creating independent learners that have the skills to figure things out.

Building an enthusiastic, trusting, and safe tutoring environment where errors are always viewed positively as opportunities to learn is one of my priorities.

I have successfully tutored advanced students that were not challenged enough in school and I have tutored struggling students with a diverse range of academic abilities, interests, and backgrounds. My students have had a breadth of learning needs, including those described in IEPs or 504 plans.  I have helped students across this wide range of experiences to succeed and achieve their learning goals.

I founded The Science and Math Tutor, LLC, “The Teacher That Tutors,” because I love science and math and teaching individual students.

Tutoring consistently creates the most rewarding moments for me as an educator.  Those moments are when students understand new concepts, perform new skills, and confidently improve their grades and understanding of the world.

Tutoring enables me to indulge my enthusiasm and aptitude for science and math to educate students to meet their learning needs and improve their lives.

• I currently tutor online and in person.  Online is very effective one-on-one using modern technologies. I have effectively tutored students as far away as Seattle.  I tutor in person in southeastern Connecticut.
• I typically tutor M-F, but I frequently tutor on the weekend to meet the needs of my students.
• I have tutored at various times throughout the day, including extensive tutoring to meet the needs of a student in the Seattle area, 3 time zones away.
• My services were developed primarily for grade 6-12 students, but I have tutored students as young as 4th grade, as well as college students.
• Please email me and we can then discuss  your learning needs and make arrangements by phone.

• Tutoring Technology: Tutoring sessions are instructed using Zoom, Google Meet, or if you would prefer, the electronic app Whiteboard Explain Everything. All have a collaborative electronic whiteboard in addition to videoconferencing, but Explain Everything has more whiteboard features (for physics diagrams or math problems, as examples). You do NOT need to purchase anything if we use Explain Everything since I have a subscription, but you would need to download the free Whiteboard Explain Everything app if you are using a device that runs iPadOS, iOS, Android, or Chrome OS. The Whiteboard Explain Everything app is available in Apple’s App Store <iPad and iPhone app link> and in Google Play <Android tablet, Android smart phone, and Chromebook app link>. Devices running Windows, macOS, or Linux can access Whiteboard Explain Everything through a web browser <web browser app link> and enter an ‘Invite CODE’ that I would share to establish the video conference.
