Deb's Math Tutoring

I start with a student's homework.  I help the student solve all of the problems assigned.  If it is apparent that the student needs more practice, I find similar problems in the textbook or on the net to reinforce the concepts.

I have a BS in Chemical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and an MS in Chemical Engineering from CMU.  I have worked as a chemical engineer for 38 years.  I have tutored students in all levels of math and science for 10 years.  I am more experienced with older kids (grades 10 to college) and higher level classes.  I can help with any level of math and science.  I'd rather be teaching pre-calculus or college calculus III than pre-algebra.

I helped my classmates when I was in college.  I helped my kids and my friends' kids.  Later, I tutored for some tutoring services.  I have my unique and very caring ways and prefer to tutor for a student/family directly without a tutor service providing rules.  Every student's needs are different.  I care very much about each individual student and will work very hard to help them succeed.

I have worked with children 8 years old to college.  I have worked with adults.  I have taught pre-algebra to college Calculus III.  I have taught chemistry, honors chemistry, AP chemistry, college chemistry.  I have taught general physics, SAT, ACT.  I have not taught anything that doesn't fall under STEMS.  I have taught some students for just one session and some students for 3 years.  All of my students progress until they don't need a tutor.

I tutored a student who had trouble with geometry, algebra II, pre-calculus.  She got her first B in math in pre-calculus.  She went to college and got an A in college math without a tutor.
