Lonica: Alabama tutor
Certified Tutor
As a dedicated educator with a Master's in Mathematics Education from City College of New York and a Bachelor's in Neuroscience from Oberlin College, I have over 18 years of experience teaching mathematics and science to middle and high school students. My teaching philosophy emphasizes curiosity, empathy, and clarity, allowing me to create a nurturing environment where students feel encouraged to ask questions and explore complex concepts. I specialize in Algebra 1 & 2, Pre-Algebra, and High School Biology, using real-world analogies and guided inquiry to make learning both engaging and relatable. I am particularly passionate about helping students transform anxiety into confidence, enabling them to see the relevance of their studies in everyday life. My approach is adaptive and student-centered, as I strive to meet learners where they are and empower them with the tools they need to succeed. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring the intersection of science and art, which further enriches my interdisciplinary teaching style.
