Summer Academic Retention, Enrichment & Preparation

Standardized Test Prep Program  

 

Education ~ Texas A&M in 2001 (Honors) BS-Chemistry, 2 minors- Biology & Spanish, Emphasis- Mathematics & Arts credit from Harvard University. 

 

Experience ~ I opened Acadmeic Advancement  counseling & tutoring in 2003.  Students range from elementary - university level and adults.  I specialize in math, science, Spanish, SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, College acceptance/preparation & writing.  I teach private and small group classes and advise students with college essays, application, curriculum, university choice, degree choice and academic questions.  I have 2 years corporation experience with El Paso Production in the Reserves Evaluation department (Reserves Analyst) and Onshore Construction (Chemical Specialist). I know how to advise high school and college students making important decisions about their educations and careers.  I became an educational consultant because I understand the tremendous pressures of academics, testing and the competition to get admitted into the university of choice.

 

  • Instead of specializing in 1 or 2 subject areas (like many teachers), I specialize in many areas: math, science, test preparations, college admissions.  I see how the foundation for one course paves the path for the next.  There’s a little bit of physics in calculus, and there’s a little bit of biology in chemistry.  Course material overlaps.  I know what material and concepts the students will see again as they progress to the next level.

 

  • I use simple everyday examples to explain difficult concepts.  Students can use what they already know to help them understand challenging scientific or mathematical concepts.  I help them see the math and science in everyday life.  I also show them the importance of being able to communicate what one knows through writing skills.

 

  • My goal is to make sure students learn more than just how to work the current assignment, but how to take very complex problems and make them simple by breaking them down into small steps.  My students learn problem solving skills and how to express their ideas in an orderly, step-by-step fashion.  My students gain confidence and let go of their anxiety as they see that every problem can be broken down.
