I am a NYS certified teacher in Biology, Chemistry and Earth Science. I teach online courses for a state college.

Joanne was a diligent, adaptive, and intelligent tutor. She was always willing to reschedule appointments when needed or meet multiple times per week during heavier workloads. She read all the material needed and was up-to-date on all information on the subjects I needed help with, and had enough background information to point out difficult, but relevant, aspects of the material my lecturers and laboratory instructors hadn't talked about in class. Her help on written projects, such as essays, lab reports, and other long writing assignments was especially noteworthy, and she was wonderfully adept at prompting and refining ideas while allowing me to formulate them myself. Study sessions were always productive: she came prepared to discuss any ideas I needed help with. Joanne was enthusiastic, encouraging, and patient. It was incredibly helpful and an absolute pleasure to work with her! I highly recommend her to anyone struggling with lower or middle-level Biology courses!

Joanne came out to our home on a really snowy night and she stayed the whole hour to find out where my daughter stood in Chemistry. My daughter expressed that she did a very good job explaining the material in a way that made sense to her. She is looking forward to getting more assistance from her and I hope we see an improvement in her test scores- keep ya posted!!!!

Joanne has done a wonderful job helping my son with his Earth Science class. His grades have steadily improved, and continues to grow. Her ability to teach is second to none..
