11 Chester Tutors

I taught college-level psychology, research methods, and statistics for over 25 years, and won several teaching awards in that time. In my course evaluations, I got the most praise from students for being friendly, knowledgeable, and organized. I love to learn new things myself, and I love to help students learn.

I knew from childhood I wanted to be a teacher, but never fit into the system very well. As an "outsider", I have tasted the cultural and educational difficulties students can have. My training was in physical chemistry, which required quite a lot of mathematics, which I loved very much, and yet did not excel in.
