I have been teaching high school for 57 years. I am now still teaching full time. My subjects at present are Multivariable Calculus, Calculus BC Advanced Placement, and Algebra II. I have received "Teacher of the Year" awards from Tufts University and MIT. I have also been tutoring for many years and am very cognisant of the requirement for patience with students. Students learn at different rates which is fine. Many are quite capable but need more time to learn concepts. Watching students grow and discover the beauty of mathematics is a tremendous reward which comes with teaching. Tutoring has the same rewards except it is on a more personal...

I believe that to be successful at math you have to see how concepts and theories link together. Students often have the tools but don’t know how to apply them to solve a problem.

When you are trying to solve a problem, there are many roads that lead to a solution. I really enjoy solving maths problems and I enjoy seeing students raise their head with pride as they have a sense of accomplishment when they successfully solve a problem on their...

On average, students take 9 to 50 sessions.

Celine is a great tutor. She is knowledgeable on every subject. I have seen a great improvement in my kid’s academic performance since she is been tutoring them. The most important thing about her is how patient she is with the kids. I also introduced her to one of my friends whose child is preparing for SAT and the feedback has been positive from my friend too!
