A math and science tutor with a BS in Electrical engineering working on her masters in Biomedical Sciences has been tutoring high school and college students for more than 15 years. Currently tutoring many students from Newton South, she knows the math and science curricula pretty well, and is available to tutor all levels of Math, Physics, Chemistry and Biology (including honors and AP).
The program is structured to tutor your kids online using an engaging, organized and interactive system including Skype, an online whiteboard and a Penpad, and she has had great success with it.
Offering a free session to try and see if your student is comfortable with it and if they like it (most of them love it) and found it helpful, the sessions will continue.
Please email fun.math.science.tutor@gmail.com to set up the introduction and free session. References are also available upon request.
