Working as a High School English teacher for seven years, in Alternative Education, has greatly honed my skills in assisting students to excel. Teaching critical thinking skills to those struggling to grasp concepts, provides great benefit in every subject area. I have used my expertise in reading and writing to open doors for others as they begin to learn, in confidence, and strengthen their own skills. Aside from substitute teaching--whereby I have taught every subject area, I have, as a full-time teacher, taught a variety of English classes (literature and writing) and a psychology elective.
I believe that every person has a specific set of gifts, talents and abilities that is unique to each of us. Education, through its varied forms, is vital in the process of equipping children with the ability to grow and walk in their fullness so that they are confident in contributing t ... read more

I strive to make connections to real life by using real specimens when possible, familiar situations, manipulatives, current events, and such to facilitate comprehension. I found from tutoring college students having difficulties with complex concepts such as protein synthesis, DNA replication, photosynthesis, and meiosis, that for all students, “hands on” can be a very helpful, and ultimately a more efficacious and expedient, way to teach. It can not only be a welcome and refreshing change/respite from the ‘usual textbook and ditto’ drill, but also helps by illustrating complex processes and concepts in a basic comprehensible manner first; I then add the more difficult material to the ‘firmer’ foundation.
In 2009, I was a professional tutor(as opposed to a peer-tutor) for the Biology Department of Ulster County Community College, NY, for students struggling with: Bio 100 for no ... read more

From my doctoral training at UCLA I became an expert within the biological sciences, and have been trained to teach complex concepts to people of diverse background. I mentored undergraduates within the lab, which involved teaching important concepts and technical procedures, and helping develop their oral and written communication skills through the generation of presentations and lab reports. I was a Teaching Assistant for undergraduate courses where I led discussion sections and composed and graded quizzes and exams. Lastly, I was a Graduate Student Mentor within the Undergraduate Research Center/Center for Academic Research Excellence, where I administered tailored workshops and one-on-one meetings to students of diverse background.
My main goal is to provide students with tools that will advance them personally and professionally. To achieve this, students need to understand h ... read more
