Science and Math Tutor
My name is Barbara. I have always been a good student, particularly in science and math. I earned my BS in Chemistry and spent a few years in industry using my degree. After a while, I decided to go back to school and earn my MS in Education. I am currently certified to teach Chemistry 7 – 12 in New York State. I have a strong background in the other sciences and in math as well. In addition to teaching, I do some tutoring of middle and high school students for the last five years. Main…
Testimonials
Nancy G. from Westtown, NY I found Barbara very knowledgeable about the subject matter. The boys seemed to grasp the material and understood how Barbara explained the material to them.
Thora R. from Wallkill, NY Barbara demonstrated expertise in both chemistry and algebra 2/ trigonometry. Her methodology to complete the problems using processes that my son said were much easier than what was taught in class. He was excited and optimistic after the session. I would highly recommend her.
Richard M. from Middletown, NY Barbara thanks for your assistance with my daughter's elementary level math. Your ability to develop a rapport early on fosters an environment conducive to learning.
Kathy J. from Montgomery, NY My son feels that Barbara is easy to understand and has a greater grasp of the concepts when she leaves.
Karen L. from Rock Hill, NY This was our first session with Barbara F. for the new school year. My daughter is in accelerated classes that are already proving difficult. With her characteristic mastery of the subject, Barbara visited us tonight and got my daughter right on track. Very satisfied!
Douglas N. from Thompsonville, NY Barbara is always a pleasure and very accommodating. My daughter was late today by 15 minutes and did not charge our account and I automatically thought it would have been. My daughter has nothing but good things to say and her grades are reflected in the tutoring Barbara has been giving. My daughter also has questions about other subjects other than Math and Barbara is always there to help with out a blink of an eye. I can not be thankful enough for the patience and intellect Barbara shows my daughter.
Steve S. from Middletown, NY When we decided to get a tutor for our daughter who needed to get just 40 points higher on her SAT in order to get a better Merit Scholarship we decided to go with Barbara F. After just about a month of hour and a half lessons each week, she provided advice on the test taking procedure and helped with the mathematical as well as the writing portions of the test. We can't tell you how happy we were when our daughter learned she had exceeded her goal and increased her score by 130 points. The hard work and lessons provided by Barbara are a credit to this success. We will be using her in the future with another of our kids for mathematical assistance. I recommend her strongly.
Madeline D. from Port Jervis, NY Thank you, Barbara. My son had a smile on his face when my husband picked him up. He has actually always liked math and now he can continue to do so.
Karen S. from Monroe, NY Barbara F. is always on time and brings extra material for my son to work with. She instructs him on how to take the exam, not just on each problem individually. She seems to have her pupil's best interest at heart, and my son enjoys working with her. Update: My son's experience with Barbara F. continues to be exemplary. She's very reliable and seems to keep him motivated. I am impressed by her knowledge and her enthusiasm and find her teaching skills invaluable.
Jessica L. from Monroe, NY This is the third year that Barbara has been working with our daughter. She is great because she can help with math and science, this year Algebra 2 and Chemistry. Barbara is able to work around our daughter?s busy schedule even though her own schedule is tight. She has never canceled or even been late. We are so glad we found her!!!!
