"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 finishing a master’s in LBS1 Special Education.

This August I began my 17th year in the classroom as a math and science teacher, primarily serving neurodivergent youth from 7th–12th grade, with some late primary instruction as well. My students’ needs have ranged from profound learning disability to 99th percentile/gifted. I have extensive experience developing rapport and improving academic outcomes/test scores of students with BD, LD, ED, ASD, and OHI (ADHD).

As a tutor, about 1/3rd of my 250+ hours have been with students with disabilities, though most of my clients have sought support in regular/accelerated/AP courses or for ACT/SAT prep. Clients have seen score jumps up to 9 points on the ACT (≈300 on SAT), with final scores as high as 34 (~1540 SAT). I have also logged 25+ hours helping post-secondary adults prepare for basic skills exams in fields such as nursing and education, specializing in efficient, confidence-boosting improvements on math/science sections.

As a full-time teacher in a therapeutic day setting, I have taught and developed customized curricula at the high school level for math and science courses 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 the full slate of 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...
