About
I focus on Regents Review (Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, Living Environments, Earth Science, Global) and SAT prep.
It is rewarding to have students develop working application based on the enhancement of learning and ability to think critically.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I work on getting a baseline of the student’s understanding, then I focus my efforts on strengthening their weaknesses and enriching their strengths.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have 20 years of teaching students in the public school setting.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I ask for $50 per hour for one hour a week sessions, but if the student needs more time a week, the price is negotiable for multiple sessions a week and if the parents gave me referrals.
How did you get started teaching?
I saw a need that the larger classes in schools couldn’t address with a true small focused group like private tutoring.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with grades 4 through 12 and some college-aged. I have worked with honor students and students with disabilities.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Helping a student making connections with the vocabulary in Living Environments. Now she is able to talk herself through the practice Regents using logic and critical thinking.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Look at the connection the tutor tries to make. You need a connection to truly learn and apply practice.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Where am I as far as the learning is concerned? How can what we do now help me achieve more in my learning? How can I start to self-monitor my learning through this process?
