Trina's Tutoring Team
About
I have been tutoring on and off since 2015. I have mainly worked with high school students in math and science topics. I have worked with a few students in elementary/middle school level as well as early high school.
I have an undergrauate degree in environmental engineering and I recently completed my asters degree in education for curriculum and instruction with a focus in STEAM. I work full time at the Museum of Science in Boston as a curriculum developer for computer science education.
After completing my graduate degree I found my self with a lot of extra time on my hands and thought I would get back into tutoring.
