I'm a patient, friendly, and very effective tutor for Physics, AP Physics, and College General Physics - with skills and instincts polished over 20+ years of teaching. It's heartwarming to help struggling students and to see them light up as they understand concepts, master skills, and re-gain confidence. When you choose a tutor, real teaching experience matters! Quality tutoring is more than homework help - it's finding the "missing piece" and re-building understanding and skills - tha...

We reached out to Sheila for our Honors Algebra II problem because of her teaching experience. After one session, she was able to teach our son the basics and he was able to implement them in his test and work study. His follow up grade of a B+ is a good measure of Sheila's abilities.

Sheila is a seasoned professional. Her experience is obvious by her mastery of the subject material but more importantly the way she engaged with our daughter. She is patient, thorough and provides alternative ways to attack/solve problems. She also has a good perspective on teenage development and how students should approach test taking. We are very comfortable recommending her for high school chemistry tutoring.

Sheila was very helpful to my son, who struggled with Chemistry. She had a calm and organized approach to the subject matter, making it seem less daunting. In a short period of time, she helped bring my son's grade up two levels. I would highly recommend her.

Sheila came on board part way into the 3rd qtr to help my son understand chemistry better, find some enjoyment and pick up what was missed in the first half of the year. Actually it was more of a rescue mission and I couldn't have been luckier. Sheila covered all fronts. She was quickly able to understand his very specific needs and adjusted her methods to allow him to absorb her instructions with much success. Her commitment in time and effort couldn't have been stronger and as a result, he finished the year passing, raising his grade, learning an entire year's information in a short time, enjoying the subject and her lessons. The best part was watching him engage and plan their sessions without and effort on my part. Sheila helped him to mature and we are now committed to her help in his Sr. year physics. Sheila is a valuable educator and I recommend her highly for any parent/student wanting more than help with homework.

Ms. C. always takes the time to make sure that concepts are clearly understood. Her teaching helped a lot, I was getting Bs on most of my Physics tests but after a few lessons I got a 96!
