About Me

Experience Summary

I have been teaching/tutoring the major Sciences and Mathematics subjects for the last 18 years. I have worked at the College, as well as with high and middle schools. I worked for the Public School System in NYC for 10 years, and then for a private non traditional 1-1 school in NYC for 3 years. I have been teaching the majority of the math subjects, such as algebra, trigonometry, geometry, pre-calculus and statistics. I also taught middle school math. At the high school level, I taught Physics, which is my major, Chemistry, some Biology and Anatomy, Earth Sciences, and for the middle school , middle school sciences. I taught before at the University, where I was teaching Physics and advanced mathematics and engineering mathematics. I tutored privately before , in both small group settings, as well as 1-1 in home style tutoring, apart from the usual classroom style in schools and the 1-1 setting while at the non traditional private school. I have prepared students in the past for the major State tests, including the regents and the Middle school State tests. I have also assisted students who were preparing to take the SHSAT and the GED Test. I have had great results with students in the past, but my greatest passion is to get students to learn for life. I have prepared many students who are preparing to take major tests in math and sciences, and has lots of experience in test preparation, etc.

Teaching Style

My teaching style included using lots of creativity and passion to drive instruction, while focusing on state standards as well as applying creative techniques to make students understand the concepts in math and science. I love to have students involved in the lesson directly, and I use lots of evaluation mechanism.

My Hobbies

My hobbies includes playing soccer, listening to music, reciting facts(both academic as well as general knowledge), public speaking and surfing the internet to keep up to date with math, science and technology.

Other Comments

Im very structured and requires students to be very focused and determined. I use lots of fun activities and instill in my students the need to be determined and learn for life.
