"I became a mathematics tutor at the age of 14. Since then, I have tutored students in mathematics, from grade school through graduate school. I have also taught students mathematics, from grade school through graduate school. My style is simple. The student holds the pencil, does the work, grows through the process while I coach them into connecting what they already know with the content at hand.

I currently continue the great work of educating mathematics students, as a college instructor; but I also continue to work with K-12 students. I am ever learning and growing as a mathematics tutor and teacher. I have a New York State Professional Mathematics, 7-12 Certification, which does not expire. In my teaching , I have had success rates including 100% New York State algebra regents pass rate in most of my algebra courses, a 100% pass rate at the end of a college algebra class I taught a few years ago, and I have had the opportunity of working with a student whose first New York State mathematics test success happened in my algebra 1 course. The students I work with are consistently successful, despite their struggles. Student-success is the reason for my tutoring; their success is my joy." less...
