"I do virtual and in-person tutoring at my home in Cary (for vaccinated students able to be around cats). During the school year I am fully booked after school and weekends but have some openings Monday-Thursday during the day as noted.

I have more than 20 years of professional experience tutoring students ages 8-80+. I have worked extensively with middle and high schoolers, college students, and returning adult students.

I taught high school math (Intro to HS Math through Calculus BC) for four years. I hold a teaching certificate in ESL/ESOL (English for non-native speakers). My undergraduate degree was chemical engineering, which gives me a strong background in chemistry and physics.

I have a minor in Spanish from NC State and speak well. Most of the music I listen to is in Spanish and there are many Spanish speakers in my life. So I can help students in Spanish classes, or people who want a practical grasp of Spanish. The time I have invested learning a foreign language has given me a better understanding of English grammar. So, I write well and enjoy helping others express themselves effectively.

I can teach all portions of the SAT and ACT and have lots of experience doing so. My GRE scores were very high as well. I have taught for big-name companies and know that private tutoring with me is the best help available. But, please note that tests like the SAT and ACT are different than tests on specific concepts, so scores are less plastic than grades in a class.

I navigate academic settings well and like to help others reach their full potential in their classes and other endeavors. As a Caldwell Scholar alumna, I have interviewed scholarship applicants. As a high school teacher, I helped students with college applications and saw 3 of them win prestigious full scholarships.

Contact me with any questions and I will reply promptly!" less...
