Teaching is my passion and I would like to take this opportunity to help students achieve their goal of being successful in school and in life. I have a Masters Degree in Educational Leadership, Bachelors in Public Administration and Teacher Certification of K-8 with Social Studies.

I take my teaching and tutoring responsibilities very seriously. My goal is to help your child succeed. Your student's success means my success. I will plan, prepare and use multiple resources to provide the type of help your student needs. As I learn the details of your student's learning needs and abilities, I am willing to contact the schools to get an extra copy of books and study materials to help ensure improvement in grades. With your permission, I can talk to the teachers for a feedback, proofread their homework or show them fun shortcuts to learn their lessons quickly. I can even give additional supplementary homework related to their assignments if you wish.

I am available evenings and weekends. Although I am keeping my days open for substitute teaching, I am available during the day if arrangements are made ahead of time. I would prefer to meet in a library or a mutually convenient public location.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Great Tutor!

Bina was a very patient and highly effective tutor. My son, who was 10 yrs old, really enjoyed learning with her. Bina taught him useful, but easy math techniques related to multiplication. She knows how to make learning fun, which is a rare characteristic! As a parent, I liked her enthusiasm and consistency when teaching my son. She was very approachable, warm and welcoming as a person. I highly recommend Bina!
