The Tutor Mom

strategy

confidence

science in color

A Scientist, A Mom, 

A Science "Whisperer"

(according to former students!)

Having worked in the Laboratory and in Competitive Intelligence for years,

I chose to leave "industry" to help students fall in love with

(or at least, be intrigued by)

math and science.

​

My sons loved math and science but

they felt that something was missing in their classes--the "Why" of it all.

The wondering-of-the-"Why" inspired me to approach 

Education Consulting in a different way.

 

 I focus on Skills and Strategy with Science content.

​

Learn the Skills

Gain Confidence

Design the Strategy

Problem-Solve

​

​

​

Become Efficient and Proactive Learners

​

My teaching objective is to help students bring pieces of

information together

(the math and the science)

to find a "story".

As the story evolves, it becomes easier to understand

why and how

the concept works together.

The student then designs their strategy to solve the problems!

​

This approach is similar to what a scientist does in the laboratory.

(Or what all of us do every day for general problem-solving.)

​

The foundation of my teaching style is to use Color

when introducing the skills and content.

I have found that if I use contrasting colors on a white background,

my students will remember our tutoring session for literally months/years. True!

​

​

​

 

The goal is to build confidence.

 

Confidence leads to...

Problem Solving!

​

 

I am looking forward to teaching a new group of problem-solvers

in the 2024-2025 school year!
