...in Education, with a certificate in school psychology, from Queens College. After working as a school psychologist for six years, I became a homeschooling mom.

My background has allowed me to work successfully with children who have learning difficulties. Teaching students how to study and...

...care about. Second, getting to know the student- everyone has unique talents, tendencies, and goals. There is an area of overlap between each school subject (even standardized tests, which require critical thinking!) and a student's goals, and it's usually bigger than it first appears. A star athlete doesn't just need to pass English to graduate; she needs to be able to write a well organized and error-free letter. In time, I'd hope to become the...

...don't want to make things harder than they need to be. I use technology as much as possible and like to find resources that I can provide to my students to make their academic careers more enjoyable and manageable.

...Human Biology. While in college I spent two years working as a Teaching Assistant for university chemistry courses and privately tutored a few students on the side. As a TA, I worked with hundreds of students in both large classes and small group environments. This helped me appreciate how student abilities range from individual to individual and the importance of building an honest and respectful relationship with clients. I am currently taking a gap year...

...I've been in the business of education since I was in 6th grade and finally started getting paid for it nearly 3 years ago. I'm big on empowerment and not making short term fixes but instead long term fixes so that on test day you won't need me. I'm super excited to be getting the chance to work with as many of you as I can and I can't wait to make a difference in...

...help you succeed in whatever course or subject you are struggling in! I've been on my fair share of tutoring sites, excluding Varsity Tutors, that have made me feel dumb for asking questions or not knowing but that is something I will hopefully never make you feel! My sole objective is to help you learn, and maybe even have fun learning:) So ask away and we will figure out the answers together!

...context. In lieu of having students thinking, sharing, and reporting out, I have students debrief the class as to what their partner was thinking. Unlike traditional think-pair-shares, I have found that this approach obliges student engagement on an intra and inter-personal level. In order to explain their partners thinking to the class and to defend it against the critique, I have found that students become almost preternaturally determined to walk a mile in their partner's...
