...for three quarters of introductory-level undergraduate Chemistry courses, both lecture and lab. When I work with students, either in groups or one-on-one, I enjoy the challenge of trying to re-frame the material in a manner that appeals to their interests as much as their prior knowledge. While making science relatable can certainly be a tall...

...with students: each student is different and each deserves a unique, specialized approach to meet his/her needs.

In my spare time, I often read and...

...I have been teaching the longest. Two years after becoming a tenured Associate Professor of Biochemistry in my home country I have moved with my family back to the U.S. in search for a better education and better future for our children. I believe a good education is the most invaluable gift we can give...

While I'm passionate about Mathematics, it is STEM engagement, inspiration, education, and...

...for school and summer theater programs. My favorite subjects to tutor are reading and writing. The ability to communicate (and reading is receiving communication) is one of the most important skills we can have. As I told the budding scientists in my writing classes at F.I.T., "your ability to communicate well will determine whether you...

...have different experiences. Furthermore, it empowers learners to use critical thinking skills to solve problems in our communities and gives us an appreciation for the world around us.

I also persuaded my principal to adopt the SAT/ACT preparation elective that I...

...never be good at them. After a break of several years, I'm currently in the middle of an undergraduate in Applied Mathematics. I was fortunate enough to have a paradigm shift in the way I perceived myself and the world around me and love getting to share the good news with others: people who prefer...
