"I'm glad you've found me! I am an experienced science teacher/tutor who is offering tutoring to suit your needs.

I have over 30 years of teaching/tutoring science. Primarily I teach all things chemistry at this point in my teaching career (regular, honors, AP, and a semester of Organic Chemistry.) Most of my tutoring students are taking chemistry or working to meet their pre-nursing course requirements (chemistry/bio/anatomy.)

I also teach other sciences periodically (environmental, biology, physical science, and a little physics) at the high school level and I am very capable of helping with lower level sciences (K-8 grade). I am certified to teach chemistry and biology in the state of VA and I have a 100% pass rate for my chemistry SOL, and a pass advance rate of between 25-51% depending on the year- both well above the state average. I encourage my second year students to take the SAT Chemistry exam and they do very well (745+ / 800 ) year after year. I have been on the ACS National HS Exam writing committee for almost 10 years. This means I know about standardized tests and how to prepare for them. (Of course, you need to know your content, but there are other things you need to know, as well.)

I have been tutoring and providing home-bound instructional services for students for years. I would be happy to work with you to meet your needs. This could include working with you one on one, via the internet, etc. I can focus on AP topics, SOL topics, private school - I'll help with what ever you need, and even can help with home-schooled children taking higher level courses. We can work on specific content, strategies to tackle new content on your own, and more.

Lastly, I will provide you with an update at the end of each session so you know what we worked on, suggestions I may have made, etc. I do hope to hear from you soon. I want all students to find success in their science classes and ultimately enjoy them. I am here to help make that happen." less...
