"After a break from afterschool tutoring to raise my child, I am excited to return to Wyzant. I am a 2005 graduate of Roosevelt University (Education, Mathematics minor). I am also presently back in grad school finishing a master’s in Special Education.

This past August, I began my 17th year in the classroom as (primarily) a math and science teacher, serving both regular ed and neurodivergent youth from 7th–12th grade, with some late primary experience as well. My students’ needs have ranged from profound learning disability to honors/accelerated/gifted students. I have extensive experience developing rapport and improving academic outcomes/test scores of students with BD, LD, ED, ASD, and OHI (ADHD).

As a private tutor, ~80% of my registered hours have been for triage in a H.S. STEM subject, or for secondary test prep (PSAT/ACT/SAT). Just over half of my past clients were neurodivergent by one metric or more. My test prep clients have seen score jumps of up to 9 points on the ACT (~300-400 points on SAT), with final scores as high as 34 (~1540 SAT). I have also assisted multiple adult clients looking for help with upcoming placement/basic skills exams in fields such as nursing and education, boosting overall confidence and aptitude with the career skills that will help them thrive in the workplace.

In my full-time teaching position (H.S. 2008-Present), I have developed curricula and taught over a dozen subjects, including Consumer Math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Geometry/Trigonometry, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus, Earth Science, Environmental Science, Biology, Chemistry, and Psychology. All coursework was tailored to individual student strengths and covered all required and recommended state standards.

I am flexible and happy to work around the days, times, and locations that best suit your schedule. I look forward to helping you achieve your academic goals!" less...
