Chemical Engineering major. Currently studying for engineering exams and looking to share my knowledge.

...took a lot of pride in my trigonometry and algebra skills which continued to serve me well into college physics classes. I want to make sure students can connect the material they are learning to their own lives so that education becomes something they truly value. It can be impossible to grasp the material at the same speed that it is tested on but I want to help students bridge that gap and remember the...

...have a 75 gallon fish tank which we use to explore ecology concepts and we do many laboratory experiences throughout the year. My expertise is in Biology and AP Biology. I have a passion for both thanks to growing up with a father who was a passionate doctor and fostered his love of learning about the world with me. I have taught Chemistry and ACT prep as well! I also have expertise in tutoring writing.

Each of us is born curious about the world around us. Science explains this curiosity, but sometimes the explanations become confusing. I love science and I enjoy making difficult concepts clear and meaningful. When concepts make sense, it is easy to recall them on tests and quizzes! My background includes 24 years of public school science teaching and three years at a private high school. Currently, I teach biology and chemistry as an adjunct professor.

...Studies. My research areas in Physics include quantum optics and geophysics, particularly about entanglement and the Earth's inner core, respectively. My focus in Visual Studies is lens arts and film studies with a strong lean towards formalism. The two disciplines may seem very unrelated to you, but it is the combination of the two that makes me a great student and teacher!

I specifically enjoy tutoring "scary" subjects...

...subject materials. Ultimately though, whether a student is an auditory, visual, kinetic, spacial, etc.. learner, I find the best approach is to help students learn how to identify a range of ways to ask questions regarding any problem, source, or material at hand and then proceed to find the solutions to those questions. I am extremely interested in narratives. My hobbies are related to ways in which people tell and experience stories. This is usually...

I am a retired corporate instructor and for the past ten years a professor at New York University (NYU).
