Rebecca Weston, BS, MPT, MEd
EXPERIENCE
My 20+ years as a math teacher and tutor helps me give students the skills and strategies to succeed inside and outside the classroom.
-
I can quickly identify the areas where help is most needed and focus on those areas, making sessions effective and engaging.
-
My experience as a classroom teacher means I know the common mistakes students make and have strategies to help students avoid making those errors.
-
I take the time to listen to students and am able to explain topics in a variety of ways.
WHO I WORK WITH
Middle, high school, and first-year college students who:
-
are taking in-person math courses including (but not limited to): Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Algebra II/Trig, Geometry, PreCalc, College Math
-
are taking online courses (in any subject) but are doing poorly.
-
want to prepare for the SSAT, SAT, or ACT tests (all sections).
-
need help organizing, planning and prioritizing in order to complete work thoroughly and on-time.
​
Students who have the following learning differences have also benefited from my sessions:
-
attentional (including ADD)
-
auditory processing
-
language challenges (including dyslexia)
​
OTHER TEACHING EXPERIENCE
In addition to my work with middle and high school students, I have also taught and tutored Anatomy & Physiology and Biology at the college level. Having taught college freshman, I understand the importance of developing good work habits and study skills prior to entering college.
