I try to be as personable as possible with students in order to make the learning experience fun and engaging. Teaching is truly an art. In order to succeed, a teacher must not only know the material cold, but he must also be able to relate to his students in order for the material to sink in. As a Georgetown University graduate with a degree in government, I have extensive knowledge of various social sciences which I plan on taking to law school. In addition, I am a near-native speaker of Italian and am proficient in Spanish. I have a passion for both languages, and would love to be able to share that passion with students.

This makes it easier for me to explain to the student and understand them. Smaller groups also work well for me. I was a hands on student that learned through images and repetition. I believe this is a good way to learn not memorize. If you memorize you will forget, and that is pointless in the

I'm passionate about working with all students to maximize their true potential. One of my forte's has always been the ability to convey simple and/or complex subject material in a manner any student can relate to and understand. This is achieved by creating a conducive stress-free learning environment that fosters trust, self worth and confidence which enables an individual to overcome academic challenges. At the end of the day, it's about a student succeeding and garnering opportunities that positively impact their life. They say everyone has a gift and mine has always been teaching. For 15 years I’ve been privileged to help individuals overcome academic challenges which open the doors of opportunity.

I have earned a BS in Biology with a Chemistry minor and an MS in Science Education. I also possess my Initial Educator Certificate in 7-12 Biology. I have experience with middle school, high school and college level students in classroom settings, but prefer the one-on-one setting where I can concentrate on helping students. In order to be a successful teacher, one must create interactive yet stimulating lessons. I always try to relate my lessons to my students’ daily lives and show them that science is not only about learning theories and laws, but it can also be fun and exciting. I believe that as a teacher/tutor, my role is to guide my students towards information that they can use in everyday life. I also believe that establishing a rapport between myself and my students is key to my gaining their trust and helping them to succeed in school as well as in life.

During my four years of college, I learned an extensive degree of time management. I was a full time biology student with an education certification attached, a softball player (captain for last two years), and a supervisor at a local coffee shop. It was as I realized my success as a student with a busy schedule, that drove me to teach and tutor others. I felt I had developed a gift in study skills and gained a deep scientific knowledge that made me feel I would be a great tutor. After a semester of tutoring at-risk students in a local high school, I realized my true love for teaching. I have a passion to make students successful, and teach them the skills they need. My classroom lessons and activities are created around the belief that children learn best by doing. I choose to go beyond the traditional science classroom and provide a dynamic and engaging classroom environment focu

I am dedicated to the belief that every child can succeed. This starts with developing a rapport with the student, engaging their interests, and using problem solving to emphasize talents that will build confidence and allow them to work independently to reach their potential. Secondly I believe that the student can develop specific skills that can help them master areas of difficulty as well as advanced subjects. Finally as someone who has worked in the science field I feel that the tools that science provides are tremendously empowering and seeing their transformative effect on all students is why I enjoy teaching. I am an enthusiastic educator passionately committed to effective teaching and life-long learning. I am a graduate of Middlebury College with a Major in Biology and with extensive coursework in both physics and chemistry. During my career as a science illustrator I have a

I have four semesters of calculus, numerous chemistry, physics, engineering, computer science, statistics, finance, accounting, marketing, management, and liberal arts courses. I also have a temporary CT teaching certificate for secondary education math. I believe any student is capable of learning any subject when they are taught in a gentle and patient manner. It is important to help the student gain confidence with the subject and to build his self-esteem. As the student increases his knowledge and problem-solving abilities his confidence and curiosity will also increase. Learning will become a lifetime pursuit.

I hope to be an inspiration to my students. I believe the best way to get students interested in their material is to show them "real-world" examples. I think it's vital to bridge the gap between abstract knowledge and its application in students' day-to-day lives. Because of my vast teaching and laboratory experience, I have found explaining to students the relevance current study material could have in exciting future careers motivates them to learn more. As I recently received my undergraduate degree in Biology from Barnard College of Columbia University, I am up-to-date on the relevance of the material today's students are studying. I also have several years experience instructing middle school and high school age pupils about molecular Biology at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory's Dolan DNA Learning Center. In addition to teaching in a classroom setting, I also privately tutored a stud
