shana: Dolton tutor

Certified Tutor

As a dedicated educator with a Master's in Education from Saint John's University, I have over 15 years of experience teaching high school biology and living environment. My teaching philosophy centers on understanding each student's unique strengths and learning preferences, allowing me to tailor my approach to their needs. I utilize scaffolding techniques, visuals, and interactive methods, such as Nearpod, to engage students effectively. I am passionate about biology and thrive on seeing my students succeed, particularly in preparing them for state exams like the New York State Regents. My diverse teaching background includes working with students from various cultural backgrounds, including ESL learners, which enriches the learning environment. I am committed to fostering a supportive atmosphere where every student feels valued and motivated to explore the wonders of science.

I love to read the Bible,
for example, Proverbs 3:5-8
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways acknowledge Him,
and He will make your paths straight.
7 Be not wise in your own eyes;
fear the LORD and turn away from evil.
8 This will bring healing to your body
and refreshment to your bones.
9 Honor the LORD with your whole heart.
I also enjoy cooking and dancing.
