Teacher expertise and credentials
New York Teaching Certificate in Mathematics
I have been teaching math for over 25 years and tutoring ACT over that period of time. I believe that helping students master skills but also test strategies is one of the best ways to help increase their scores as I have done for hundreds of students.
