Cecelia

I am a certified teacher with more than 30 years of classroom experience, primarily in public and private middle schools. I have a bachelor's degree in mathematics and secondary education from Boston State College and I tutor grades 6-9.

My tutoring style:

I am an enthusiastic math teacher, flexible to adapt to the learning style of my students.  As well as helping my students build a strong foundation in mathematics, I strive to help them develop problem solving skills and an appreciation of the varied strands of mathematics.

Success story:

Due to an extended absence from school due to illness,  a grade 7 student met with me three times a week after school and in no time we covered 4 chapters of work.  An advanced grade 6 student set a goal for herself to reach the national level in the Mathcounts Contest. I tutored her once a week after school and she achieved her goal in grade 7.

Hobbies and interests:

I enjoy hiking with my husband and dog, traveling, creating stained glass art, ice skating, bicycle riding, and I volunteer at a horse therapy facility.
