I am a graduate of Hunter College with a Masters of Science in Education, with a focus on Deaf and Hard of Hearing and Students with Disabilities. I am certified as a New York State teacher, working with the New York City Department of Education. My philosophy on teaching is quite simple: each student learns in their own way and it is the responsibility of a teacher/tutor to determine how a student learns, determine their needs and create lessons that the student will feel successful in completing while fostering their unique learning styles. When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family, learning new things, taking my dog for long walks and curling up on the porch with a good book or the latest "it" book.

I graduated from the University of Southern California with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and am about to begin a PhD program in Clinical Psychology. During my PhD studies, I will focus on researching forensic psychological disorders and will also teach as an adjunct faculty member. I currently work at Harvard Medical School where I research psychiatric disorders, but have spent the majority of my career teaching psychology, research methods, statistics and math at all levels. My last teaching experience was at the college level, where I spent a semester teaching a bilingual Kindergarten class the English and Spanish alphabets.I use many types of tools to teach, and am able to adapt my teaching style based on the student's learning preferences. I believe in the importance of integrating technology into teaching and learning, and am familiar with many different online learning platforms. I am a kind and generous tutor, but hold my students to standards that meet their learning potential. I have a passion for teaching, but also enjoy cooking, reading, going to music concerts and playing soccer.

I graduated from The College of New Rochelle with a masters degree in education. I have always enjoyed working with youth in several different aspects. I've been a mentor, I've been a teacher and of course I've been a tutor. I believe helping people, especially youth, is extremely important. I want to help as many as I can, for as long as I can.

I am applying for Touro College and their Graduate Program for Education because I found my calling. I want to teach the next generations about history and discuss why history is important in every aspect of the world. I have had great professors and teachers who pushed me to my limits and because of that I wrote a sixty-page thesis for my senior history class (History 425: Research Methods). My thesis, Our Thing: Traditions of the Italian Mafia, examines primary and secondary sources about the Italian Mafia. I used both autobiographies from Mafia leaders and a detailed an organized interview I conducted with a citizen of Little Italy, Manhattan who lived there for seventy-nine years. I have done thorough research into the topic of Italian Organized Crime, studying the first arrival of Italian immigrants.My other research topics include, ancient Roman warfare and the Golden Age of Piracy. I have been reading, researching and analyzing ancient Roman warfare for more than five years and the Golden Age of Piracy is my most recent topic, researching for the past six months. With the help of Professor Kavey (His 240) and Professor De Lorenzi (His 205, His 300, and His 425), from John Jay College, I can comprehend and conduct proper research from both primary and secondary sources. Both professors taught me how to analyze data for proper research and taught me how to apply it towards writing a proper research paper. I am using the tools they taught me, along with every other professor I have had, in my further research topics.I have decided to take my ambitions further than my Undergraduate and go for my Graduate degree with the hopes of becoming a history teacher. I have been watching, learning and absorbing the lessons my professors, both good and bad, gave me as a student. I had great professors at John Jay College and I learned more than just the class lessons. I will try to replicate and, if need be, adapt those lessons to my future students. With the help from Touro and their education program, I am hoping that the lessons I learned from my professors and the classes from Touro, I can become an effective teacher.As you should be able to tell, my career goal is to become a history teacher. I want to teach children and kids of any age the significance that history is trying to tell us. I want to show that by studying history, we can learn about how traditions, cultures and other behaviors have been created, changed and adapted trying to understand how they are now. My main objectives are simple; I want to become an effective teacher. I want to become a teacher that my students respect and truthfully enjoy to be in my class. In my opinion, being a teacher should be just that. Teachers should be like doctors with medicine and medical treatments where the patients are the top priority, but for teachers the students are the top priority. Education is an incredible and large factor for a child to become successful in the world, not by their salary but education increases their intelligence in all aspects of life, not only in school.

My interest in tutoring dated back to my days in college where I had the distinct pleasure of tutoring students in English and Social Studies related classes. My background in teaching english includes being a certified TESOL instructor and having taught in South Korea. Social Studies or history related subjects I have always viewed as someone telling a past story to another. It is with kindness, a patient understanding of the students needs as well as making the subject fun which forms my approach to tutoring. I look forward to interacting with many of you and more importantly looking forward to help everyone succeed.

Currently, I am a Senior Program Director for Education and Youth Development at a non-profit agency. I have a BA in English Literature and MA in Urban Studies. What do I love to do?

My hobbies include watching foreign films, documentaries, traveling and reading.

As a student myself I understand the need there is for the support and understanding and patience it takes to progress in life's changing educational environment.

I became a NYC teacher to inspire and motivate students to strive for success, even in the face of adversity. I believe that the gates of large goals are lined with small accomplishments (Heath and Heath, 2010), and I require students to take ownership of their daily learning through consistent collaboration and continuous assessment. I create lessons that are reachable, specific and incorporate cross-curricular extended opportunities and technology-based instruction, to increase student engagement. There is definitely autonomy through accountability and students should be responsible for taking assessments and using their performance data to identify their specific learning needs. I use data to target and differentiate classroom instruction and meet student learning needs. I consider myself a lead learner among my colleagues. Academic optimism and growth mindset through reflection among peers is important. I collaborate with my colleagues to support their continual growth and improvement as educators.
