More About This Tutor...

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 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.

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.

Teaching is about active student learning. The learning needs to be student centered, involved and relevant. Students will also need to develop deductive and inductive reasoning skills, ethics, interpersonal and intrapersonal skills learned from family, culture and formal education influences. I plan to create partnerships with families. My classes will be using problem solving and critical thinking skills. They will learn the important features of the scientific method through immersion. My students will be motivated by positive high expectations, individualized for both intellectual and social growth. Students need to know you care about them personally and academically.
I am honing my teaching skills and leveraging my scientific expertise as an Intern for a special education department in a HS. I provide one-on-one instruction in math, science and technology. ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I used all learning styles. I taught and they wrote. We had group assignments and presentations. All students increased their English scores. They all succeeded in their learning. I loved teaching and made sure that they all had a wonderful learning experience. I worked hard to make sure everyone learned their curriculum. It would be a great joy to be part of a school system again.
When I did my first student teaching in the 4th grade I succeeded in teaching the children all subjects. I also taught one Spanish girl how to read English and learn her math. My second term of student teaching was in the 3rd grade. Again I succeeded in teaching all subjects to my students. All my students were involved in learning. My greatest year of teaching was at Saint Joseph School. I taught middle school English from 5th grade through 8th grade. All my students were very busy learni ... read more

This week I am graduating Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), Troy NY with a degree in computer and systems engineering. For the past four years I have been working at NASA and our nations leading research institutions to gain a strong background in computer and systems engineering. My goal for this summer is to begin a tutoring position to help students with math and writing and inspire future engineers by relating the subject matter they are working to exciting engineering opportunities that exist in the community. My teaching experience includes work as a teaching assistant (TA) for embedded control at RPI and taught summer classes in computer graphics at the East Hartford Glastonbury Magnet School. In addition I have a strong background in technical writing, recently publishing a second research paper for AIAA.

My focuses as an educator have been in the sciences and in the education of disadvantaged youth. While completing a graduate degree in natural resources at the University of Connecticut, I worked as a teaching assistant and tutored undergraduates at the University Writing Center. Later, I became the education coordinator at a shelter for homeless families. There, I managed education programs for homeless children ranging in ages from one through sixteen years. I then completed a masters degree in science education and worked as an eighth grade science teacher for a year. I have just recently returned to my position at the family shelter, and currently hold CT teaching certifications in biology and general science.
My approach to teaching is to show my students how learning is relevant to their lives because students will more fully engage in their education if they believe the ... read more

I have always felt the need and want to help others, whether educationally or socially. As an immigrant who had to learn a new educational system, language, and lifestyle, I know first-hand how difficult a true and successful learning process can be. I believe that my strong communication skills and a patient persona are critical in helping someone achieve educational success. In recognizing each child's individual skills and abilities, I only hope to help them recognize their own strengths and weaknesses to achieve improvement.

I developed a patient style of simply allowing a student to set his own pace yet make sure he lives up to his own promises. Making lasting commetments allowes the student to take controle of his own improvement, yet allows me to see what he need direction in. In showing the student alternative practices, he will see the benifit in changing his ways for the better.

My ultimate aim would be to teach the student how to successfully learn on his own. I would first determine the set of circumstances unique to each student. For example, are they far behind their class or just having problems grasping some concepts? I would modify my teaching style depending on the situation, but in general I identify facts that need to be memorized and concepts that need to be understood. We would work through material, in a textbook, for example. Finally the student must apply logic and related skills (algebra, for example) needed for problem solving. Problem solving ties facts and concepts together and brings a deeper comprehension of and familiarity with the subject.

I believe in tailoring my teaching style to individual students that I tutor. The two most important techniques I have used are translating academic concepts into everyday examples that students can readily understand and using positive reinforcement to help them towards their goals. Especially in the fields of math and science, I have found that learning by analogy and real world examples provides the surest path towards success.
Having an excellent and extensive educational track record, I feel I am well positioned to assist current students achieve their goals. I have a JD from NYU School of Law, which helped me master such skills as reading comprehension, analytical thinking and persuasive writing. I have an MS from Yale University and a BS from William and Mary in chemistry (with a focus on organic chemistry) which has provided me with broad experience in the fields of mat ... read more
