I am a chemistry teacher at Manville High School. I taught AP, honors, and regular level chemistry. I am from Nutley, NJ but am now living in Raritan, NJ. My philosophy of teaching is learning by doing. I am able to tutor in most Math, and all Science subjects. My favorite method to teach is one on one, and figuring out how a student processes information allows them to learn the subject material their way. I have tutored a total of 20 different students in high school and college; all of them have improved their test scores.

As a teacher of 5 years, I have learned a lot on different teaching methods. Science and math are hard concepts to grasp, but I will make learning them fun and easy. I have always loved science and math, and it just comes second nature to me. I have a Masters of Arts in Teaching Physical Science and a Bachelors of Science in Chemistry from the College of New Jersey. Please consider me when you choose your future tutor.

The new job market is being pushed toward more math and science careers. Improve your test scores with me as your tutor and guide. You will obtain the problem solving skills to not only improve your grades but have the critical thinking skills to prepare you for life.
