About
I have been a teacher and tutor for over 20 years. My son is almost 18, and wants to learn how to help kids with tutoring. I am mentoring him on how to be a tutor and teacher, so we work together to help students learn their material.
About me:
I love students, and I remember being a student. Sometimes it was difficult to connect concepts because the teacher had to move at a certain speed or I just needed more help. I understand the challenges students face, and help provide the support, education, lightheartedness, care, and patience to help a student feel and be successful.
I have a BS in Chemistry with a math minor, an MS in Biochemistry, and over 20 years’ experience teaching and tutoring all ages and levels.
About David:
I am in honors math and science, and love helping people learn.
