I am a certified math teacher and have fifteen years of tutoring experience, both privately and for the Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake School District. I work with students from middle school to college level, and work to create a comfortable working relationship which allows for productive learning. The new Common Core Learning Standards and high stakes testing require that students have a very good understanding of mathematics. As well as focusing on the mechanics of math, I help students t...

As a private swimming instructor for 7 years for children of ages 6 months to adults, I have cultivated a love for teaching. I learned through my work that with proper patience towards a student and the willingness to adapt to their specific needs, everyone has the capacity to learn. I have hosted class study sessions to help fellow students prepare for exams. It has always been my goal in a group study session to ensure that everybody was up to speed on the material. Nothing is more satisf... Read more

Traditional Drawing and Painting Skills - Solid Foundation
I've been an artist since before I could even talk. Drawing is the core of my self expression as well as the basis for all good art making (in my opinion), regardless of the final form it may take. It has been said that you can't fix a bad drawing with paint - and I have seen this to be true no matter what kind of "paint" the creator chooses to apply! Good drawing skills can and should be learned by anyone who wishes to communicate in a visual medium. I take a very traditional approach to dra... Read more

Test Prep for Nursing Students!
I was a teacher for 12 years before becoming a nurse. I have 14 years of nursing experience and hold both BS and MS degrees in nursing with a masters concentration in nursing education. My method of teaching for the boards is more effective then the expensive programs that many students use. I look at the way the student learns and I teach effective methods to answer questions correctly. I have helped many students who have failed the NCLEX the first time pass after only 5-10 sessions. I ... Read more

I also studied French for six years at Middle and High School and also attended Ndebele classes (an African language) after completing college. My love and passion for languages compels me to engage my students to the best of my ability so that they too may discover the beauty of language, the power of language and how central... Read more
