Tutoring in math, science, ACT, SAt, & ISEE
I’m a former Harvard/Harvard-Westlake teacher (math and science) who has been prepping students for ACT math and science, SAT math, and academic courses in math and science for over 30 years. I also taught math and science classes at Marlborough, Brentwood (summer school science), Buckley, Windward (chemistry), and Mirman. Many of my students attend (or attended) schools in the greater LA area (Harvard-Westlake, Marlborough, and Marymount, to name only a few). However, since I tutor online, it doesn’t matter where you’re located. I’ve had students in Florida, New York, and as far away as London, Haifa and Dubai.
During each online tutoring session, I use a two-way whiteboard that is saved as a PDF after each session. Before the lesson, students or teachers may text or email me the material that needs to be covered, which gives me time to organize the lesson. All lessons are structured to be in sync with the method the teacher is using to teach the material.
The vast majority of my math and science students don’t actually “need” a tutor, but sometimes get behind because of illness, a heavy load of outside activities, such as sports or theater, or some foundational weakness that needs to be shored up. This is where I’m able to help.
I’m happy to say that my students have been successful in being accepted into the colleges of their choice, including Barnard, Berkeley, Boston College, Brown, Claremont McKenna, Chapman (Dodge College of Film), Colby, Colgate, Cornell, Duke, Emory, Georgetown, GWU, Harvard, Howard, U Indiana, U Iowa (Writers’ Workshop), Loyola Marymount, Michigan, Middlebury, U Missouri (Journalism), Notre Dame, Northwestern, NYU, Oberlin, Ohio State, Parsons, Penn, Reed, Pomona College, Rice, Santa Clara, Saint Andrews, Savannah College of Art & Design, SMU, Stanford, Tulane, UC Davis, UC Berkeley, UCLA, UCSB, U Edinburgh, USC, U Richmond, U Miami, U Texas, Vassar, Villanova, Wake Forest, Washington University, Wesleyan, Wisconsin, and Yale.
If I can be of help, I’d love to hear from you, so feel free to contact me at any time.
