I am an experienced tutor who is available to work with students either one-on-one or in small groups. I take a personal interest in each student's progress and tailor the lessons according to the needs of the individual.

For TEAS Prep, I can assist you with all TEAS subjects, including math, reading, English, and science sections (scientific reasoning, life science, anatomy and physiology, and chemistry/physical science).
I live in Rochester, New York, and I have taught the TEAS prep course at Rochester Regional Health Care multiple times. In addition, I have successfully taught the TEAS prep course to individual students hundreds of times. My qualifications include a BA in English from the University of Rochester, as well as a BS in biology and DPM degree from Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine in Chicago. In the past, I have been a classroom teacher for math (algebra and geometry) in a local high school.

For SAT prep, I focus on strategies and test-taking skills, as well as practice and explanations with actual testing material. I am able to teach and review math skills and operations, as well as English grammar, vocabulary, and reading comprehension specific to the SAT.

In addition to SAT prep, I am an experienced math tutor for middle school math through Regents geometry. I have experience tutoring students with a variety of different learning styles. In addition to academics, I provide support and encouragement, emphasize strengths, and focus on creating a positive, fun learning experience. I hold a B.A. in English from the University of Rochester, as well as a B.S. in Biology and D.P.M. medical degree from Scholl College in Chicago.

Test Preparation

Accuplacer,

Accuplacer

I have been teaching and tutoring math, reading, and English for over 6 years, including preparing students for the Accuplacer test. I currently teach high school algebra and can help students prepare for all math levels for the Accuplacer, including high school algebra and geometry, as needed. In addition to holding a university degree in English, I have been preparing students for the TEAS, SAT and ACT tests for over six years, and I am proficient in all areas of reading and writing preparation.
TEAS,

TEAS

The TEAS exam (Test of Essential Academic Skills) is an admissions test for nursing school. It includes tests of reading, English, math, and science. I have experience tutoring both the TEAS and the TABE (a different nursing school admissions test) which is similar to the TEAS albeit less challenging. Not only am I an experienced math tutor (algebra, geometry, and SAT/ACT prep), I hold a BA in English from the University of Rochester and BS Biology and DPM (Doctor of Podiatric Medicine) degrees from Scholl College in Chicago. My educational background includes an entire spectrum of college-level biology and chemistry courses in addition to the math and English courses.

Kind, Knowledgeable and patient

Cynthia has been absolutely amazing throughout the entire time she was tutoring me. She helped me with preparing for my Teas I had taken it 3 times prior ( with no tutoring those times) and did not score well. Luckly, I found Cynthia and she helped me with all 4 subjects and was very patient and willing to go over them as many times as I needed along with giving me extra things outside of tutoring to help me. She made time for me even if it was last minute she would work me in. Her teaching and guidance definitely helped me. Needless to say, I went from a 68 (my last teas score) to and 80!!!!. Thank you so much ! forever grateful!

Very knowledgeable and patient tutor, and knows how to teach exceptionally well.

She has helped me to decipher the difference between independent and dependent variables, measurements and the scientific process, and we did some example questions to solidify the knowledge of the subject matter being taught. She is very patient and thorough and knows her subject matter.

Amazing Tutor! I excelled on the TEAS Exam!

I do not even know where to start. Cynthia is simply amazing. She is personable and kind. Very thorough and takes her time with you to make sure you truly understand a subject. I was so scared to book a tutor at first and honestly she made it so easy to work with her. I expressed what my exact goals were with her and she walked me through everything I needed to know. She provides lots of practice sheets so after your tutor session you can practice what you learned and really get the material down. If you need further help on a subject it was so easy to just communicate with her about what I needed to improve on and she would walk me through it again. Cynthia was very patient and encouraging as well. She also has tons and tons of knowledge and materials on the subjects that are on the TEAS exam. She knew her stuff well and really walked me through it all. I have dreamt of becoming a nurse for years and she was the missing key of getting accepted into my dream school. I not only passed the TEAS exam but I ended up getting 8% more than what school was even looking for on the total outcome. I give all the thanks to her amazing ways of teaching. Cynthia also tutors in sciences and I plan to book her again once my science courses start in nursing school. I am officially a nursing student thanks to Cynthia!! Book her. You will not regret! Thank you so much Cynthia for everything!
