About Nina

I have a master's and bachelor degrees from competitive schools -----------------------------
* BA in Mathematics: Cornell University
* MPH in Quantitative Methods (Statistics, Epidemiology, Modeling): University of Rochester

I have official, internationally recognized certifications -----------------------------------------
* Accredited by SAS Institute, Inc.:
*** Statistical Analytic Software (SAS) Programmer (995/1000 exam score, 2022)
* Accredited by CGSUSA:
*** Montessori CGS Teacher Level 1 (2018)
*** Montessori CGS Teacher Level 2 (2021)
*** Montessori CGS Teacher Level 3 (2024)

I am a teacher of high school mathematics in the Pittsford School District ----------------------
I aim to progressively teach my students to teach themselves ------------------------------------
I equip the demoralized student & challenge the aspiring high-achievement student ----------
I have dedicated myself to a drastic change in career for this rewarding and joyful work. I have done so because I love math, sharing its beauty and fun, and seeing my students'/tutees' progress to the point of academic high achievement and success.

About the lesson

ANYONE CAN SUCCEED IN MATH! - but you must do the work. I provide students with the mathematical weapons of mass destruction for success on tests.

THERE ARE NO STUPID QUESTIONS! - the "dumber" the question, the better. They are the precise ones that must and need to be asked.

MISTAKES ARE OUR FRIENDS! - the only way to turn out A's in math is to do problems. The more difficult, the better. I have math problem banks for all basic high school and college math courses through calculus.

I administer different session types: Remedial Learning, Concept Establishment, Challenge Problem Solving, Test Preparation. Session type descriptions follow

Remedial Learning session – gain competency on past missed work:
a. Objective: learn missed content.
b. This type session requires a 1-week pre-submission of past tests/quizzes/homework
student from class
c. If needed, 1-week pre-submitted form for information release to speak with teacher.
d. I go through missed problems/tests/homework questions together. Concept
explanations using manipulatives and video features employed throughout session.

Concept Establishment session - lesson with repetition of concepts:
a. Objective: concept comprehension via application.
b. I will explain the concept (using manipulatives and video features if possible).
c. Together we will do simple straight forward problems.
d. I will time for explanatory "asides" when I see reticence doing a step or computation.
e. Gradually I will decrease my support to see your ability to complete straight forward
problems (in preparation for following sessions).

Challenge Problem Solving session - multi-part, harder, tricky problems:
a. Objective: skill building for honors/AP/undergrad math coursework
b. Together we will do harder problems, tricky, and multi-part problems.
c. I will review any necessary equations or concepts as needed.

Test Preparation session - noticing math shortcuts on problems:
a. Objective: test preparation
b. I will dedicate a session to noticing shortcuts and time saving strategies.
c. Given after a Challenge Problem Solving session.
d. Often requires a 1-week pre-submission of exam type information or a
release of info form from parents for me to speak with teachers. (This is the only way I
can review very likely test questions short of a Challenge Problem Solving session.)

I specialize in progressively building confidence so the student can perform best on exams.
I aim to progressively teach my faithful students how to teach themselves.
I respect school code integrity for homework assignments not yet submitted.

Nina is exceptionally smart and knows her subject. She will be very sensitive to the needs of her student and will be able to work toward measurable targets for improvement. A very kind person who is highly motivated to help others. Highly recommend.

Details

I provide lots of out of session planning:
** I take a great amount of time outside of sessions to provide appropriated and
individualized tutoring content for sessions to make sure my students succeed.
** I provide digital rewards and games which require setup, paid training and subscriptions
to employ.
** If I have to speak with teachers or professors (after release of info. form signed) this takes
extra time which I am willing to expend if needed because I seriously invest in my
students.
** I have expensive teaching aids including an iPad, Apple Pencil for my students to use
for in-person sessions.
**I am already a teacher with completed undergraduate and graduate degrees
** My ONLY career occupation is tutoring and teaching math; I work hard to meet the individualized needs of each student I take on.

I have established my hourly rate competitively based on standard rates for someone:
* Who has taught and tutored in the past.
* I am presently a high school math teacher.
* Has years of industry experience in research analysis.
* Graduate degrees from competitive schools with rigorous math course offerings.
* I am a mother myself of 3 high school through college aged children for which I
homeschooled for a short time.
* I have a vast history of tutoring and teaching experience throughout my life I provided on a
paid and as a volunteer basis.
* I am Montessori CGS-USA certified teacher for Levels 1, 2, 3 aged children.
