Experience
I have been tutoring for over 20 years. I have worked with three private firms along with operating my own tutoring business over that same time period. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from The University of Pittsburgh, so I know what it takes to be academically successful. I have a BS in Chemistry and I am certified in Statistical Quality Control. I obtained a Master in Teaching from Waynesburg University. My approach to tutoring includes instructions in various techniques to become a "Good" student. I show students practical ways to take more effective notes in class, how to prepare for class, and an effective approach to homework. I teach common sense and how to apply it. I have successfully turned around poor students to the point that they were offered college scholarships. As a former Army Captain I also provide mentoring when required. I specialize in algebra, trigonometry, calculus, statistics, physic, general / organic chemistry and inorganic chemistry. I have tutored students as young as 10 years old and older adult students while attending college. I have extensive SAT and ACT preparation experience, routinely raising SAT score a minimum of a 200 points. Additionally, I can increase SAT and ACT scores so that students can attend the university of their choice. I normally provide tutoring at your home, but can also make arrangements to meet at a local library or community center. My experience in industry as both a Chemist & a Quality Engineer provides a direct link between education and employment. My goal is to make your student successful.
