Become a star, through dedication and desire to succeed!!

I love interacting with my students and finding out what drives them and what they feel hinders their success. I choose activities that make learning fun while making the information relevant and easy to understand. I also strive to build up a student's academic confidence. I believe all students can be successful in anything they put their mind to, sometimes it may take longer for the light bulb moment but I am willing to do anything I can to ensure they reach the point where they fully understand what they are learning and can apply their knowledge not just recite it.
I have taught in both suburban schools at the high school level and urban schools at the elementary/middle school level. While teaching I previously have tutored students. My main experience teaching has been various science courses but I have also taught math and reading. I began my education thinking I would b ... read more

My style is dependent on the student. While the end result is having a student understand the material, the way of achieving this varies with each person. Some students require a lot of hand holding while some require a more hands off approach. To achieve understanding I will cater to the students needs.
I have tutored high school students who are college bound during my undergraduate years at William Paterson University of New Jersey. I also tutored my fellow undergraduates. I then pursued a doctorate and was active in many peer study groups where were tutored each other in neuroscience and organic chemistry. I have a love for science which shows through my enthusiasm in imparting scientific knowledge to others.

My comments on tutoring Life Science : I hold a Ph.D in a Life Science discipline.

I took a variety of Biology classes and Labs at WPI mostly focused on Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics. I recently finished my PH.D. where I studied control of viral gene expression. This work encompassed a variety of biological disciplines including virology, cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, and molecular genetics, all of which I am quite experienced in. I also have experience teaching in a seminar format as well as in small groups. As a senior graduate student I was responsible for leading discussions prior to invited speaker seminars.
I believe that stimulating conversation and allowing people to arrive at answers on their own and through experience is the best way to form lasting connections.

I am not a teacher; I am an awakener!

Very skilled in teaching a variety of learning styles across the different areas of the multiple levels of intelligences.
I have taught in the education field since 1999. I am very fortunate to have had the privilege of working with a multitude of learners in a variety of environments. Early in my career I worked with adults that were mentally and physically challenged. I found this very rewarding and decided to pursue a degree in education, which lead me on my journey into the world of Special Education. I began working with children and young adolescents who had a variety of special needs and learning styles; I went on to specialized Autism and Special Education for K-12. After working with young children for many years I decided to branch out to work with young adolescents and adults pursuing their high school equivalency. Working with young adolescents and adults proved to be j ... read more

Experienced and Proactive Educator

Experienced and New York State Certified teacher. I have over 10 years experience teaching students in grades 1-12 and 5 years experience teaching adults. I also have extensive tutoring experience. I have an MA from Marist College as well as a BA from NYU. I have designed and taught SAT prep classes (verbal/writing portion) as well as developing curriculum integrating diverse domains of knowledge to create a broad, deep and flexible learning experience for students.
I believe that competence and confidence are BOTH important in learning. Students bring their own knowledge and learning styles to the process. It is the teachers job not only to adapt instructional style to best support the learner, but also to help the student understand his or her own learning style and needs.

More About This Tutor...

As a life long learner myself, I understand the practical use of the information I teach and try to help students understand the detail that leads to a "big picture" understanding of the topic and how it relates to the professional world as well. I believe in self discovery by the student by my guidance and the use of examples so they can be applied easily to problems the student my encounter in their own life.
As a current Director of Health for a large City in Connecticut, I have learned the value of education and the use of my technical skills to communicate with my residents and help them improve their health as well. I have earned multiple degrees in Public Health, Experimental Pathology, Soil and Environmental Sciences. These degrees were both the foundation for my profession and the avenue for my understanding of Epidemiology and applied Statistics. During the past 10 years ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My BS and MS in Chemical Engineering degrees have given me an in-depth knowledge of concepts in math. During 13 years in the pharma industry, I used my skills to succeed and earn awards, honors and patents. After 12 years as a mentor and volunteer, I changed my career because I really enjoyed working with young people. I decided to change my career through a MAT program which included a student teaching experience. I taught math to a mixed ability class using a constructionist philosophy where students discover and explore topics in math rather than having the topics dictated to them. I believe my experiences in student teaching as well as my educational background and work experience combine to make me a great teacher.
My philosophy of education is that everyone can learn and that it is my duty and passion to help them. Every person and every child has within them a unique ... read more

More About This Tutor...

During the past 6 years, I have extensive experiences as a substitute teacher in the public school systems in both CT and FL. I have taught all subjects within grade levels K-12 including special education . I enjoy all age levels of children. In addition, teachers within the school systems have asked me to do some private tutoring for them for their struggling students. I find it to be very rewarding!
I am a well-rounded diversified individual with both corporate and academic environment experiences. I believe that each child is unique and learns in different ways. I value spending time with a child, forming a tutor-student bond, and the learning takes place from there. My teaching style is very interactive and supportive. I am very reliable and attentive. My strong listening skills also play a major role in my success as a tutor.
