About Catherine

My name is Catherine Elias. I would be delighted to help your child excel in math. I have been tutoring for over ten years, during which I have tutored middle school through high school math courses including general math, PreAlgebra, Algebra, Geometry, PreCalculus, Calculus, and Statistics.

..

I have a BS and a MS degree in engineering, from Washington University in St. Louis, so I have had extensive training in Math and Science. While in graduate school, I taught several undergraduate courses and tutored students one-on-one.

..

I work well with students and parents alike and I love seeing kids understand the material, improve grades, and have a good time learning. Parents have told me often how well their children are learning their particular subject because of my expertise and personal interaction. I have a great rapport with students and parents alike. Many of my students I have had for years, starting in middle school and moving right through high school.

..

Online tutoring is an effective one-on-one tutoring experience. I have been using Zoom for years, because it makes the experience quite personal and very effective. It also gives you the most flexibility in managing your time. I have tutored most of my students online for years. I also do in-person tutoring at my location. I live in Martinsville, NJ.

..

In addition to the weekly sessions, I provide help (via texting and photos of problems) when the student is stuck on a homework problem during the week between sessions. During the school year, I keep open time slots later in the evening on most days for extra tutoring sessions when needed in preparation for a test or quiz.

..

I am more than happy to discuss next steps with you. We can start as early as this week. I look forward to hearing from you.

..

Thank you for your consideration.

I started teaching computer science at the college level when I was in graduate school. I tutored students at that time as well. I homeschooled my own children while they were in middle school. I started tutoring middle school and high school students in math and science while working full time as an engineer at AT&T. I am now semi-retired — I just love tutoring kids.

With MS and BS degrees in Computer Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis, I have extensive mathematical, applied mathematical, and science background. I am a certified pro with this website. I have taught classes and tutored students at the college, high school, middle school and elementary level. I have tutored students that have fallen behind, those that need an extra boost along the way, and those that want to get ahead. It is a delight for me to be working with kids at any stage of their curriculum.

I have tutored math to children from elementary common core all the way through college Calculus and Statistics. I have tutored Physics to students.

About the lesson

When first working with a student, I obtain a copy of the student's textbook so that we can always be on the same page, literally. I provide software installation and setup instruction. We get to know each other a bit before our first lesson, discussing strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes (usually Math), workload, activities, etc. From that we come up with a tutoring plan. Often we will work at specific problems that the student does not understand how to solve and backfill the missing foundation.

I have direct communication with most students, dependent on parents' preferences. I love when students or parents text me when they do well on a test or quiz, and often events not related to math or science. I believe that there is more to being tutored than just the lesson. I value my relationships with parents and students.

I’ve tutored all age groups from elementary school into college. I have tutored for over ten years. I love seeing kids understand the material, improve grades, and have a good time learning. Having tutored a lot in each subject, parents have told me often how well their children are learning the particular subject because of my expertise and personal interaction. I have a great rapport with students and parents alike. Many of my students I have had for years.

I enjoy getting to know my students. Recently, I started working with a sibling. It was so much fun getting a different perspective and to see similarities and differences between siblings. I’m always grateful for a chance to have an impact on a student’s life.

Perfect! Ms. Elias has been an exceptional math tutor for all three of my children, guiding them through Algebra, Geometry, Precalculus, and Calculus. Her dedication to their success is evident; she invests time and effort in building their mastery of the subjects. Beyond just academics, she instills the values of hard work and perseverance, helping them understand the importance of these traits in achieving their goals. Her supportive and engaging teaching style has made a significant impact on their confidence and understanding of math. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent seeking a tutor

Perfect! Catherine is always prepared for each session, and demonstrates a genuine concern for her students. Her communication skills are top notch. My daughter’s learning style wasn’t clicking with her AP Physics teacher’s teaching style - Catherine was the bridge that made it all make sense. I highly recommend her - she helped immensely, and I saw my daughter’s confidence grow as soon as she started working with Catherine. Great experience all around!

Perfect! Catherine took the time to request my son's recent tests and homework and then prepare materials prior to her first meeting with my son and so was able to jump right to the areas where he was having difficulty. She's friendly and extremely efficient and practical.

Catherine was exactly what I was looking for in a tutor! She tutored me throughout my AP/IB-SL Calculus course, which was the first Honors/AP math class I took. In addition to teaching me the content, she also taught me to be more confident when it comes to math, and to trust myself and the knowledge I have, which I really appreciated. When teaching, she uses a lot of practical examples and explains everything calmly and in depth. I felt extremely comfortable working with her; if I didn't understand something, she would find different ways to explain it until I understood it. This, I think, says a lot about the extensive knowledge she has when it comes to Calculus. I highly recommend Catherine to anyone!
