All of these classes were heavy on reading comprehension and I excelled in all of them.

My experience with the GED exam is with either students who dropped out of high school or did not graduate on time. Because many of the contents are similar to the Regents exams, I have plenty of experience teaching for GED exam, about 10 years.

Algebra Tutoring

When I took this exam, it was the very first time this Regents was distributed. I received an 85 on the exam and have continued to hone my Algebra skills throughout the years of tutoring.

Biology Tutoring

When I took this exam,I received an 85 on the exam and have continued to teach others in Biology/Living Environment.

I bring a level of excitement that makes understanding the material much easier for students to comprehend.

English Tutoring

English was always one of my strongest subjects. On the Regents, I passed with a 97 and I still remember which question I had gotten wrong.

This subject is my passion and I am able to bring that out of other students as well, especially when I make connections to real life situations based on the given texts.

Government Tutoring

U.S. History/Government has become one of the many subjects I have become passionate about. I passed the regents with a 91 and passed my AP US History class with a 90. We would have weekly essays graded at a college level and I still remember many of the lessons and I always go back to those lessons when I tutor to help prepare my students the best way possible.

Pre Algebra Tutoring

Pre-Algebra is the foundation to all levels of Math beginning from 8th-9th grade. I am always on top of my game when it comes to Algebra and Pre-Algebra is no exception.

These skills also carry over to college level Spanish for the General Education Requirements.

History Tutoring

History was one of my strong points during middle school and it carried well over to high school and college. Patience is my virtue, especially because of how many middle school students feel History is boring. I am able to bring a certain level of interest in the subject, especially when relating it to current events.

Math Advance Tutoring

Advanced Math in middle school is along the difficulty of the Algebra 1 regents and I have taught that subject for 7 and a half years. I can ease the students into the subject and have them gain confidence in themselves, which makes the process simpler. By teaching shortcuts and showing them what to look out for, they will excel.

Science is one of my strongest subjects regarding middle school classes, especially when it comes to biology, ecology, and chemistry. Showing students how all of these are directly connected to them increases their interests, allowing for more information retention. This quickly leads to improved grades and sometimes a growing passion for the sciences in general.

Homework is one of those things students always dread and I used to be one of them.

With positive vibes and being someone who the student can relate to, it increases their productivity which is one of my main goals.

Elementary Math Tutoring

Math is the foundation of all sciences, including electronics. I have always excelled in math but more importantly, I have always taught math to young students who feel uncomfortable with it. By showing them tips and tricks to solving problems, it creates a sense of self confidence that sticks with them for other subjects as well.

Social Studies Tutoring

Social Studies is one of those subjects where many of my initial students hated the sound of. With time, it soon became accessible and sometimes a topic of interest for them, especially when talking about ancient civilizations. Showing students how many historic events have led us to where we are piques their interest and creates a sense of enjoyment in the subject for them.
