About Cynthia
My highly tailored approach and 26 years of tutoring experience enable me to provide both a positive learning atmosphere and results [average SAT increase: 200 points, average ACT increase: 4.5 points, typical grade improvement: 1-2 full letter grades (such as a B to an A or a C- to an A-)].
After winning 1st place in PA in math competitions, I served as the Assistant Coach for Germantown Friends School's MathCounts team. In that capacity, I taught small math classes and offered one-on-one help to students. From there, I began private tutoring and discovered the efficacy of tailoring my instruction to each individual learner. After graduating as the top student in my major (microbiology), I began tutoring science and test prep as well.
My academic expertise and personable teaching style, coupled with my 26 years of private tutoring experience and my work in the test prep industry, enable me to provide effective and engaging instruction. I get to know each student's learning style, personality, areas of academic difficulty, and strengths so that I can target areas of weakness while capitalizing on each student's strengths.
In addition to my academic work, I have been playing piano for 39 years (20 of them professionally as a jazz pianist & bandleader). I enjoy teaching piano lessons (beginner classical, beginner/intermediate jazz, beginner/intermediate blues, and beginner/intermediate pop/rock), as well as music theory & arranging, particularly in a jazz context.
In addition to my work as a tutor, I write practice SAT and ACT questions and answer explanations for a test prep company, and so I am very familiar with the types of questions and answer choices on those tests, as well as the content and strategies needed to ace the tests.
Unlike many tutors who are only now transitioning to online platforms due to the coronavirus, I have years of experience tutoring online.
Please contact me to discuss your tutoring needs. Thanks!

Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Cynthia.
Perfect! We could not have asked for a better trigonometry tutor for our son. Ms. Helzner provides updates after every session to both students and parents, making us feel very much a part of the process plus she responds to all our questions and concerns in a timely manner. We are now midway through the semester and our son has maintained an "A" average. We will definitely look forward to working with her again in the future!

I’m so lucky to have met you and thankful for all your tips and patience with me. Thank you… one million times!
Cynthia is one of the best tutors I’ve had in my student career. She offers something to everyone regardless of their academic standing, and she possesses a vast amount of knowledge about all subjects that often goes beyond the scope that high school students require. As a high-GPA student, prior to hiring Cynthia, I expected not to benefit at all from supplemental tutoring. However, Cynthia not only challenged me to push myself harder to achieve higher goals, but also offered a certain encouraging “flare” to some subjects, which, in turn, made me more enthusiastic about learning in general. I don’t regret a single moment spent with Cynthia.”
You are the best tutor. You are a 5 star!”
“I would recommend Cynthia highly for tutoring and test prep in physics or any other subject in her varied areas of expertise.”
Cynthia Helzner was my son’s tutor for math, science, and SAT preparation throughout his years in high school. They built a strong, trusting relationship and my son enjoyed his weekly sessions. Cynthia brings seriousness and positive attitude to the process of making complicated work become clear and manageable. I give my strongest recommendation.”
750 critical reading, woo hoo!! Another 800 math. 730 writing. So with score choice: 750, 800, 800. Thank you, Cynthia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We need to have a party.”
Cynthia is a caring tutor who checks in with the student’s parents after each session to let the parents know the student’s progress. She takes a personal interest in her students and is a pleasure to work with. My son actually enjoyed his sessions with her!”
“Cynthia, Thanks for all your help with Rosie. She got into every school she applied to and decided to go to Penn State in the fall. She wouldn’t have been able to do it without you.”
“My daughter loved Cynthia. She used to go to MJ Test Prep for tutoring, but she enjoyed studying in her own home and said that Cynthia was a much better tutor.”
You are the best tutor. You are a 5 star!
Cynthia broke down complex math topics that I was confused on and showed me how to take a more methodical approach. It really helped my grades!
