Many of my students have improved their SAT and ACT scores by 250-350+ points and 5-8+ points, respectively, too.

All my students are successful learners who have fun learning!

My style is a creative one with results.I have watched students start coming to school with confidence,prepared to meet teacher expectations instead of arriving fearful,knowing they didn't understand what to do,didn't have the materials to do it,or forgot or lost it.Demystification,respect,and rigor are what I offer my students.Responsibility,respect,and rigor are what I expect.I teach organization and empowerment techniques that give tutoring long-lasting effects, not just short-term results like a passing grade on next week's test. As a businesswoman for over 20 years, I believe in prudent use of resources and measurable results.

I love working with students. One on one is even better than teaching groups of thirty in my book. I also worked ten years as a Physical Chemist where I had to know Math and Physics as much as Chemistry. I have taught Math, Physics, Biology in addition to Chemistry, and tutored in all these areas. I also graded essays for the state of Georgia and so I could sharpen any students essay skills. I have lived in Africa and so am ready to work with any culture. I believe that each student should learn to be in charge of their own education. My goal is to help them achieve that goal. I am not quick to jump in with the answer but can wait patiently for them to work through the problem. Since I learned by a very different method than my teachers tried to teach, I look for a students learning style. If he is not getting the concept, I'll try another or even invent one on the spot.

I can help your child achieve academic success and pursue any field he decided to attain. I am patient, easy going, and considerate.

Through my many years as a student, I have developed numerous, “Student Skills”. These are skills which enable me to get the best possible results for my efforts. I have three children of my own and two of them consistently make honor roll – the third is going to be a “Star” (hey, what are you going to do?) I tell them that the difference between an “A” student and a “C” student has nothing to do with intelligence. Anyone can be an “A” student with motivation and a mastery of student skills. I teach by example. Having been a nurse for many years, I have developed the ability to remain calm under stress. I am VERY patient. I will give as long as is necessary until the student “gets it”. I recently graduated, Summa cum Laude, with a BS in Biomedical Engineering Technology, having earned a 4.0 GPA. I also hold an AS in Nursing. I love to learn and as such, I have attained mastery in many c

Easy going, supportive, hard working, direct, open, and encouraging. My style is to find real world experiences to provide examples for learning. This approach stimulates students to actually enjoy chemistry instead of thinking of it as something difficult or uninteresting. I've also found that the carrot approach works much better than the stick. Everyone can make the grade or higher by being encouraged and helped. Teaching 5-10 years of college level organic chemistry, physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, biology, biochemistry, and intro chemistry. Also, I've served as a full time lab assistant. I've had extensive experience in both designing exams, lecturing, tutoring, and providing special assistance to students.
