    We go from Chemistry to Physics. Weird to put those 2 subjects together, eh? Let's discover...

    Physical Science is a combination of physics and chemistry. In physics we discover the laws and theories related to motion. If you are interested in how a plane flies or what size motor does what or how does a rocket reach outer space or how much of a load a truck can carry or what it is the speed of the car you are in, how direction makes a difference or why one car can escape with a scratch in an accident but the other car gets crunched, all of these things are explained in the physics part of physical science. There are loads of experiments to enjoy. In the chemistry part of physical science we discover how wonderfully individual atoms work together or keep each other apart. Why does one combination make something dangerous enough to blow up and another combination make something you might use everyday like toothpaste or soap. We learn about the way atoms are organized with the periodic table. It helps us to understand why the atoms behave the way they do. There are experiments you can do in your kitchen that the whole family can have fun with. Tutoring for the short term or teaching a semester or full year. Science never ceases to amaze me. I want my students to feel the same way. I bring it alive and applicable to each and every student no matter their academic level. Some students need a state curriculum class, some need to catch up on specific subjects that may be unclear, or study for tests. Some students may need help changing from middle school to high school, or maybe to get ahead in a subject. Other students may need help figuring out how to study best for them or maybe a special focus class like doing a research paper or a presentation. The possibilities are endless.

    The best part of what I do is seeing your face as you make the connections between what you knew and the information we shared in class that day. It is exciting! The greatest part of the classes is the awesome things we find out!!! We use lots of methods in the classroom. We have fun learning. We might use pictures, videos, experiments, research weird topics, and create models, or do 3-D drawings. I use every kind of learning you can think of and maybe a few you may not know! What? Science is fascinating and it is never ending and always changing.. We are curious aren't we! It's learning how your world works. The world we think we know and what we think we know about it changes. What is the new answer??? Let's find out together. What do you say??? I specialize in STEM classes in Science at middle school, high school and technical college levels. I also tutor for Exit entrance and exams for High School and College. STEM Science subjects like Biology /Life Science, Physical Science, Astronomy, Earth Science, Geology, Ecology. FOR TUTORING or full CLASSES, please let me to select the know what you need, what your goals are and how long we have to achieve. We don't do miracles but we do enjoy ourselves as we learn. I offer: 1) Tutoring on an as need basis or regularly depending on the goal of the student. 30-90 minutes as you prefer. If you prefer to complete an entire subject as a review or personal interest class, you can choose by semester or year. Semester classes will last 18 classes. It takes 36 classes to complete a year study program in each subject. 60 minutes/class, typically 1 or 2 classes per week; 2) Small-group classes of no more than 5 students - same as above; 3) Personal enrichment or Continuing Education Classes, purchase 5 week increments. 30-90 minutes/ class. These would include catching up on a subject, study skills, research/ term paper tutoring, project building, exam preparation, introduction to a semester subject class (18 classes in total length). All classes can be taught in intermediate level American Sign Language (ASL).

    I took lessons with Marie for my evolution class in college. I was having a really hard time with exams especially as someone who did not have to study until college. Marie was able to help me figure out what specifically I was struggling with on exams and also helped me with terms by making personal connections with content. I felt listened to and never judged with not knowing something. I was only able to do 2 sessions with her but those were the most beneficial sessions for me and I was able to pass the class!

    Ms. Marie is methodical, explains the concepts well, and gives great study techniques. I also found it beneficial that during our session, she asked about my specific learning styles.
