In tutoring any of the traditional subjects (Latin, Greek, formal/informal logic, rhetoric, critical thinking), I emphasize the objectives common to them all: (1) acquisition of context-specific vocabulary, (2) a feel for the flexibility and polysemy of a given word's lexical-semantic meaning, (3) a comprehension of the text's thematic, stylistic, and evaluative undertones and progression. The three, taken together, require us to formulate arguments by sifting through material, with an eye to analysis on how texts are crafted for presentation in terms of form and content. The result is an understanding on how these three are essential for reading, arguing, and, ultimately, thinking critically. Subjects Tutored: Besides the aforementioned subjects, I also tutor for calculus and chemistry.
I earned my B.A. from Tulane University magna cum laude in classical languages and philosop ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My studies have covered a wide range of topics in the various scientific and math areas. My research has provided me with the opportunity to draw connections between different methods and to communicate difficult concepts. My education and experience have provided me with valuable knowledge in the area of biomedical and clinical science. I graduate from high school with a double major in math and science and I have a bachelor’s degree in electronic engineering and master’s degree in biomedical engineering. As a teaching assistant I have gained valuable experience leading undergraduate discussion sections in math, science and engineering. In addition, I train summer students on specific research topics . I am also the first and the co-author of some research papers.
I am teaching for understanding.

I elected to be a stay at home mom after a successful career. I wanted a flexible work schedule and thought about tutoring. I found that I loved tutoring students ranging from elementary to college level. I found much satisfaction in students' improved grades and the mastery of the subject that I was able to impart. I strongly believe that education is the doorway to a successful career and tough subjects such as math and science can be mastered with the right approach.
I like to use the hands on approach. I find out what the weaknesses are of my students and address the topics by giving a general review. I present a problem for them to work out. After a few minutes, I ask them what they think is the best way to approach the problem. If they cannot come up with one, I then guide them through the appropriate thinking pattern in order for them to solve the problem. For me repetition ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have earned a BS in Civil Engineering and am currently in the process of applying to graduate school. I am very confident tutoring Math and Science. Throughout high school I tutored middle school students and also prepared high school students for their regents examinations. I also tutored Calculus while I was in college.
I am a very patient person and always try to find ways that make it easy for a student to learn. I usually try to relate what they are learning to something that interests them. I also like to give students many examples of the types of problems they are trying to solve so that they feel confident when it comes to exam time.

My experience as a tutor for children in homeless shelters and children enrolled in after-school programs have enabled me to cultivate strategies for disseminating information in ways that are appropriate for their developmental stage, educational background, and unique learning styles. Moreover, the unit plans I have produced have always been tailored towards making interdisciplinary connections in order to make learning more meaningful, including differentiation techniques to accommodate those with special needs, and approaching information in a creative way to make learning as enjoyable as possible.

As a teacher I believe it is important to communicate high expectations for the success of all students, regardless of age, race or socio-economic background. I believe all students can succeed. It is often a challenge to ensure that the classroom climate and curriculum is supportive and responsive to all students. No matter what the subject, students should be provided with an academically challenging curriculum that includes attention to the development of higher level cognitive skills. I encourage students to share attitudes, concerns and aspirations. If students have their own views challenged, it encourages the critical thinking and reflective judgment that will serve them well throughout life.

My teaching style involves lots of picture slides, index cards with diagrams, and training videos. It helps my students grasp the material much better than just by reading and listening to lectures. I use lot of words of encouragement rather than pint pointing their mistakes. I have also found that keeping the teaching style interactive produces better results and a fun environment, which the students look forward to.
As a member of the tutoring club both in Stony Brook University and Hunter College I have always focused on the strengths of my students.
