About Me

Since I was young science especially biology has always fascinated me. Biology is the study of life and is a science that all of us can relate to. Growing up I too struggled in grade school and would often need the help of tutors to enrich my learning experience. Throughout this journey I've had the incredible opportunity of being tutored by some of the best teachers, many of whom explained the material better than my own professors did. Each of these tutors had their own individual styles of teaching and explaining concepts, and I have tried my best to assimilate their techniques when I teach students. My approach to teaching is very eclectic as I pick and choose the best strategies and ways to help students learn the material. I served 3 semesters as a biology teaching assistant at Stony Brook where I tutored students in subjects like Cancer biology and Cellular biology. Having taken the AP Biology exam and the SAT II Biology E/M in high school I also am aware of the type of material that is being tested in high school. With every student I meet I try to get to know their unique circumstances. Having a syllabus of their course work would be helpful since it would allow me to see which topics I should be focusing on. I am very willing to help my students succeed and welcome them to email me whenever they have questions. Aside from school, I have many interests and hobbies. I have been an avid piano player for the last 12 years and performed many times for NYSSMA. I am also a practitioner of Karate which I have also been doing for about 12 years. During my free time I like to read non-fiction books and write blogs online. I enjoy meeting new people and believe everyone has an interesting story to tell.

Q&A with Kevin

I believe in breaking down complex systems into simple terms. I love using analogies and different tricks to help students remember what they are learning. Most of all, I firmly believe that to appreciate and succeed in biology, it is critical to understand why and how biological components do what they do.
