About
Hi.
My name is Catherine Elias. I would be delighted to help your child excel in math. I have been tutoring for over ten years, during which I have tutored elementary through high school math courses including 3rd-8th grade math, accelerated math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, PreCalculus, AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, IB Math, and AP Statistics.
.
I have a BS and a MS degree in engineering, from Washington University in St. Louis, so I have had extensive training in Math and Science. While in graduate school, I taught several undergraduate courses and tutored students one-on-one.
.
I work well with students and parents alike and I love seeing kids understand the material, improve grades, and have a good time learning. Parents have told me often how well their children are learning their particular subject because of my expertise and personal interaction. I have a great rapport with students and parents alike. Many of my students I have had for years, starting in middle school and moving right through high school.
.
Online tutoring is an effective one-on-one tutoring experience. I have been using Zoom for years, because it makes the experience quite personal and very effective. It also gives you the most flexibility in managing your time. I have tutored most of my students online for years. I live in Martinsville, NJ.
.
In addition to the weekly sessions, I provide help (via texting and photos of problems) when the student is stuck on a homework problem during the week between sessions. During the school year, I keep open time slots later in the evening on most days for extra tutoring sessions when needed in preparation for a test or quiz.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
With MS and BS degrees in Computer Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis, I have extensive mathematical, applied mathematical, and science background. I am a certified pro with tutors.com. I have taught classes and tutored students at the college, high school, middle school and elementary level. I have tutored students that have fallen behind, those that need an extra boost along the way, and those that want to get ahead. It is a delight for me to be working with kids at any stage of their curriculum.
I have direct communication with most students, dependent on parents' preferences. I love when students or parents text me when they do well on a test or quiz, and often events not related to math or science. I believe that there is more to being tutored than just the lesson. I value my relationships with parents and students.

Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
My current rate for tutoring math and science is around $60.00/hour for standard classes, with price variations depending on frequency, duration, and course level.
How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching computer science at the college level when I was in graduate school. I tutored students at that time as well. I homeschooled my own children while they were in middle school. I started tutoring middle school and high school students in math and science while working full time as an engineer at AT&T. I am now semi-retired — I just love tutoring kids.
What types of students have you worked with?
I’ve tutored all age groups from elementary school into college. I have tutored for over ten years. I love seeing kids understand the material, improve grades, and have a good time learning. Having tutored a lot in each subject, parents have told me often how well their children are learning the particular subject because of my expertise and personal interaction. I have a great rapport with students and parents alike. Many of my students I have had for years.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I enjoy getting to know my students. Recently, I started working with a sibling. It was so much fun getting a different perspective and to see similarities and differences between siblings. I’m always grateful for a chance to have an impact on a student’s life.
