I have over 20 years of experience teaching and tutoring. I have Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Chemical Engineering and I have completed graduate coursework in Mathematics Education. I have taught Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Math Analysis, Calculus AB, Calculus BC, and chemistry. My experience includes large classes, small groups, individual lessons, as well as remedial, standard, honors, and Advanced Placement material.

My students all know that I am enthusiastic about the subject, and I have had great success in transferring this enthusiasm during my lessons, especially through the use of my unique sense of humor to create an engaging environment while maintaining a rigorous curriculum. Of the thousands of students I taught over the years, they have consistently said their favorite things about me as a teacher are how I help them not be scared of or confused by math, that I support them and make them feel comfortable learning, that they are able to retain information better, and that they feel prepared for the classes they take in the future. As a mother of two children who have gone through high school and college, I am aware of the stresses and challenges faced by students and parents, as well as the high pressure to perform well academically.

My teaching philosophy and experience with a variety of methods allows me to individualize instruction and modify my teaching strategies to reach each student. I have experience with a variety of educational software as well as electronic textbooks. As a tutor, I will work with you to strengthen your skills and build the confidence needed to succeed.

Knowledgeable and great tutor

She stayed longer than scheduled to help me make sure I knew the material. I highly recommend tutor. She made sure I understood the material and has very clear notes on the problem set we worked on. She made things simple and explain them step by step and explain the concept in an easy way.

Great Pre-AP Algebra 2 Polynomials and graphing tutor

She was great at reviewing the content with my daughter. More importantly my daughter whose extremely shy felt at ease and confident enough to actively participate in the tutoring.

Andrea, 1 lesson with Elena

My son learned more in one hour than three months with his previous tutor company!

Hi, Elena, I just wanted to tell you how happy I am to have found you for Sean. He told me that you taught him a way that he understood. He really enjoyed working with you and looks forward to your next session on Friday. He also said he got more out of working with you for one hour than his three months at Mathnasium. You are a true gift to children and the parents that support them. Thank you.
