Award-Winning Tutors from Fordham University

I am a graduate student living in New York and have been tutoring and teaching test prep classes for the past several years. I love working with students to help them gain confidence and understanding in subjects that have been giving them trouble, and I strive to make learning the most positive and enjoyable experience possible!

I am a college student at Fordham University with a lot of experience working with younger students. I currently major in math and love to tutor students in mathematics. In addition, I'm experienced with standardized test prep, and I could help with tutoring for tests such as the SHSAT or SAT.

I'm a budding Physicist and I believe that a good understanding of the physical laws which govern our universe is not only key for a good outlook on life, but makes a number of things in life more enjoyable. About myself: I'm from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic originally and came to New York when I was three (I've been here 19 years - Go Yanks!). I play the guitar (I love the Blues) and am a baseball enthusiast. I am fluently bilingual (English and Spanish) and as such can teach what I know in both languages.I've recently received a degree in Physics (B.S) from Fordham U. in The Bronx. At Fordham, the Physics Department requires that all upperclassmen be available for tutoring in the classes they've succeeded in, meaning that I've tutored in several areas of Physics and Math for two consecutive years. I've also had the pleasure of tutoring my younger siblings in anything they need help with (I have a 9 yr. old sister who loves Science, and I believe I've played at least a small role in that). I love tutoring; many see tutoring as a service provided by one party to another, but it has great benefits for the tutor as well. Through tutoring at Fordham and unprofessionally (family and friends) I've learned how to communicate physical and mathematical theories at several levels of comprehension, and my understanding of the subject matter has often improved as a result. My general approach in tutoring physics and math is to emphasize the theory behind whatever subject the student may be dealing with. Once a student firmly understands a physical or mathematical theory it is much easier to understand the formulas and applications behind the theory. Examples are key in understanding this type of subject matter and as such I greatly emphasize examples as well. I am very patient when it comes to relaying the knowledge I have because I understand how difficult Math and Science may be for some (Science was not necessarily my strong suit in High School).

I'm a sociology student at New York University, and I've had 3+ years of professional experience as a teaching assistant and teaching aide for a range of elementary and high school students, primarily focused on English comprehension and literacy. I also have extensive experience in peer review and staying up to date with academic works. A strong and insightful learning experience speaks to your values, interests, and stories. I am knowledgeable and experienced in college admissions essays, general essay/writing guidance, ESL, English literacy & comprehension, and Korean conversational language learning. I'm invested in how we can accumulate who you can be!

My name is Ava. I am from Phoenix, Arizona but currently live in New York as a student at Fordham University. I am a Philosophy major with a passion for learning and creativity. I have experience tutoring in pre-algebra, Latin, and SAT prep. I have taken the SAT three times, the PSAT three times, and three SAT subject tests. I am extremely familiar with the layout of the SAT and how to coach students in studying and test-taking techniques. I believe in setting a strong foundation of knowledge for students to build off of in every subject they approach. I look forward to helping students become the best they can be through engaging lessons made specifically for each individual.

I graduated from Georgetown University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and Government and from Fordham University School of Law with a Juris Doctor degree. I have ten years of experience as a volunteer and private tutor to high school, undergraduate, and graduate students. I have tutored a variety of subjects ranging from math and science to standardized testing, but I especially enjoy tutoring in the areas of English, literature, and writing.I believe in creating a specialized tutoring plan to address the particular needs of my student. My emphasis is on creative (and hopefully fun) learning techniques that engage my student and help him or her confront problem-solving in a way that best suits his or her learning style.When I am not tutoring, I enjoy reading fiction, going to the movies, and spending time with my friends and family in the sunshine.

I'm a lawyer, writer, editor, and self-professed grammar nerd. I've always had a passion for writing. I was the kid in high school who my English teacher appointed to check other students' assignments (true story!). I received a degree in English from the University of Michigan and a law degree from Fordham University School of Law. In law school, I served as an associate editor for a law journal and wrote briefs for the moot court board. During my 27 year legal career, I've written hundreds of legal briefs, half a dozen legal articles, and even a traditionally-published mystery novel. I also maintain a blog on my website. I enjoy sharing my passions with others, so for several years I taught as an adjunct professor at a local law school and have worked extensively with my own two children (ages 20 and 17) throughout their educations. I take a friendly, laid-back approach to teaching, because students won't learn if they're not comfortable and engaged. Whether your needs are simple - such as general help with writing answers to essay questions or gaining a better understanding of punctuation - or more complex - such as writing a research paper or understanding how to use style guides, I can help. Plus, I've earned an editing certificate from the Poynter Institute and have edited professionally for a number of years. I can assist with all your editing needs. Finally, if you need help with legal research or legal writing, I'm your woman. I've been doing both for almost thirty years. Let me know how I can help you!

I believe that all children have the right and access to a great education that helps them reach their maximum potential so that they may live choice filled lives.I believe it is important to set goals with students and their families and frequently monitor on the progress students are making towards their individual goals. Students thrive when they receive direct instruction. I pride myself in collecting data and using that data to inform instruction so that it is tailored to meet the needs of the student.

I am a graduate of Fordham University, with a double major BA in Economics and French Language and Literature. I have been tutoring students in English, French, Math, and standardized test prep for over six years, and I especially love teaching in Economics, History, and Literature. My teaching style centers on understanding each student's unique way of learning, and adapting my approach to best fit their needs.

Dear Varsity Tutors Team, I am writing to express my interest in joining Varsity Tutors as an instructor in history and political science. I have a deep passion for helping students understand the world around them, how our past shapes our present, and how government and politics impact our everyday lives. My approach to teaching is rooted in patience, understanding, and encouragement. I believe that every student learns differently, and I take the time to meet them where they are, whether that means simplifying complex concepts, connecting lessons to current events, or sparking curiosity through meaningful discussion. My goal is not just to help students memorize facts, but to help them think critically and develop a genuine interest in the subjects they study. I care deeply about young people learning to engage thoughtfully with history and politics, as these subjects empower them to become informed, active participants in their communities. I would be honored for the opportunity to contribute to Varsity Tutors' mission by helping students grow in both knowledge and confidence. Thank you for your consideration. I would be thrilled to discuss how my enthusiasm and teaching philosophy can support your students' success.

I have a Masters of Science degree from Boston University Business School and a Bachelors of Science degree from Fordham University majoring in Business Administration. At Brooklyn Technical High School, I was on the Math Team and actively participated in many competitions, such as the AMC and the Moody's Mega Math Challenge. During my high school and college years, I tutored math and taught piano. I currently teach classical piano privately. As a tutor, I can relate to the mind of the student and explain concepts using everyday terms and examples to more effectively convey information to the student.

I am certified to teach ESL in New York State (K-12) and received my Masters in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) through Fordham University. As a NYC Public School teacher for 6 years, and as a private tutor in South Korea, I have experience instructing elementary, middle school, and high school students, as well as adults, to reach their academic goals. Additionally, I have taught test preparation for the SAT, PSAT, SHSAT, NYS ELA Regents, NYSESLAT exams, and more.I specialize in increasing the literacy skills of all learners through vocabulary building, step-by-step approaches and inquiry. I use direct teaching, video, audio, PowerPoints, and even props to demonstrate concepts. I am excellent at helping students to organize their ideas for essays and to deliver clear arguments to defend any position. If you are looking to create and edit an essay (college application, English essay, science report, etc.), to make an oral presentation, or if you just need some useful writing advice, I will be happy to assist you in reaching your goals!

Victoria Bourgeois-Conti is a math major in the Fordham University Honors Program. She found a love for teaching math when she began volunteer tutoring her freshman year of high school, and she is passionate about providing students the support they need to understand a concept. She believes in learning through questions and conversation, and aims to break each topic into its most clear and simple form. Victoria is a very patient and positive tutor who would love to meet you! (SAT: 1600, ACT: 36, AP Calc BC: 5)

I have loved learning for as long as I can remember and truly want every person to experience the same kind of joy and excitement at expanding his or her horizons and tackling new problems that I have. Every student should have the opportunity to feel both successful and challenged, recognizing that an integral part of success is struggle. It is so important to develop and value grit; struggling with a difficult concept or a complex problem is a beneficial process that leads to true learning. Because of this belief, I am enthusiastic about new approaches to mathematics in K-12 education, in particular. In place of rote memorization, Common Core emphasizes creative approaches to problem solving to develop mental math abilities through mathematical thinking and number sense. My strong liberal arts background has also given me great appreciation for and mastery of critical thinking, textual analysis, and articulate writing across subject areas.As a straight-A student my entire life, I hold myself and my students to a very high standard. I care greatly about the details and hold firm that quality always matters. That said, I wholeheartedly believe that learning is a process and perfection does not come without struggle and persistence. Long-term benefit often stems from short-term "failures," so no student should ever feel either discouraged by difficulties or satisfied by ease. As a classroom teacher who works with 27 students daily, I also appreciate that each student is unique, learning through and becoming motivated by different approaches. I love getting to know each of my students to figure out how to give him or her the best learning experience possible, tailored directly to his or her needs. Particularly in the elementary years, emphasis must be placed on a strong foundation of understanding and of learning habits for greater success in the more rigid and demanding high school and college years.I am currently an elementary school teacher, although I have worked with students from early childhood through college. In the past couple of years (including summer), I have taught kindergarten and first, third, and fourth grade. I am completing a Master's degree in education at Fordham as part of my certification in grades 1-6 and have a 4.0 GPA. As an undergraduate, I attended Wellesley College and was cross-registered at MIT. I majored in Jewish studies and minored in history, although I took courses in everything from microeconomics to psychology, and I graduated with a 3.92 GPA. At Wellesley, I worked as a statistics teaching assistant and volunteered as a kindergarten literacy tutor, an early childhood center student teacher, and a college tour guide. I worked as a kindergarten and afterschool teacher at a prestigious private school in Boston after graduation, before returning to school to complete a Master's in Near Eastern and Judaic studies at Brandeis University with a 3.96 GPA. I hope to continue school after completing this second Master's degree because I love education as both a teacher and a student!

I am a dedicated Elementary Teacher who believes all children can learn and achieve the goals that are set for them. I am passionate about providing the tools necessary to help each child realize their fullest potential. I studied theatre and earned a BA at the University of New Hampshire in 2008, and earned a dual masters in Childhood Education and Childhood Special Education from Fordham University in 2013. I am certified to teach Childhood Education and Special Education in New York and CT. I have taught Kindergarten through 3rd grade reading and math. I love tutoring math because I enjoy engaging students in real world math applications and providing a wide range of manipulatives to help them understand different concepts. I also strive to help students develop a love of reading by choosing material that suits their interests. Through clear goals I help students achieve their decoding and comprehension reading goals. I am also part of a Theatre Company that performs musicals for children!

I have experience tutoring students of all ages ranging from elementary to high school in various different subject areas including Grammar, Writing, Essay Editing, and Elementary to Pre-Calculus Math.

Hi everyone! My name is Catherina, and I am currently a student at Fordham University working towards a BA in Applied Mathematics and Economics. I love anything involving the outdoors, from nature walks to outdoor sports. I live in the great City of New York and spend my free time visiting museums and seeing the fascinating spots the city has to offer. I found an interest in tutoring in high school and continue it today because I love helping students understand material in a way that is easily understood by all. Nothing makes me more happy than the brightened face on a student content with working on a subject they previously struggled with. I work with all ages and abilities while striving to reach every individuals end goal. I hope to help you, too!

I am a graduate of Fordham University and Keuka College. I received my Bachelors Degree in Social work from Keuka College and My masters degree in social work from Fordham with a focus on Clinical Social work. Since graduation, I have been a therapist I spent a year and a half as a therapist embedded in the foster care program with a contracted agency. I currently am a therapist in a wellness center and work primarily with children and adolescence. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, being outdoors, and enjoying time with my family including my pets.

I'm an instructor with 5+ years of teaching and tutoring experience. I'm enthusiastic about helping students meet their own goals and develop useful skills. I began tutoring as an undergraduate, for history, French, German, and Latin. I also have extensive experience editing English essays (my own, those of my peers, and those of my students.) I spend a lot of time thinking about these subjects, and about how to help others understand them better.When I'm not doing academic work, I enjoy experimenting in the kitchen and exploring on my bicycle. I attempt to bring the same creativity and adventurousness to tutoring as I do to these pursuits.

I am a Senior at Fordham University, where I am double majoring in Humanitarian Studies and Communications and Culture. My academic undergrad research is focused on fan fiction and participatory culture. I have worked in communications with INEE, immigration casework at the Office of U.S. Senator Gillibrand, refugee resettlement with Catholic Charities, procurement with URENCO USA, and as a children's librarian assistant. This fall, I will be attending law school, with the intent of pursuing a career in immigration public policy after graduation.I believe that tutoring should be a form of empowerment for the student, giving them agency and a way to push their growing edge. Everyone has their own knowledge expertise, and tutoring is a platform for each party to learn from the other.

I am currently a high school teacher with four-years experience teaching Regents bearing Biology (Living Environment), Chemistry, Ecology, and Earth Science. I completed my undergraduate work at Brandeis University and received a B.S. in Biology, and B.A. in International & Global Studies. I conducted my graduate studies at Fordham University and received an M.S. in Secondary Science Education. I am currently certified in New York State for Biology 7 - 12 and am pursuing a secondary certification in SPED 7 - 12.My approach to tutoring is simple: learning does not come easily if it cannot be made digestible. In this light, I employ a range of techniques to engage and drive my students towards their own litmus of success. I love integrating games, technology, or a points system to support students. If the first approach does not work, I am open and flexible to hearing feedback from the students and their parents in the interest of maximizing student learning.While my background is in secondary science education, my passion is in literacy education. I have worked with students from as young as Kindergarten through the college level in reading with fluency and a critical/analytical eye. This has lended me naturally into a writing tutor, allowing me to coach my students into becoming stronger writers.In working with students at the elementary level, I have also had the opportunity to explore Common Core expectations in ELA and Mathematics. Many of my students utilize Singapore Math, Go Math, Math in Focus, Eureka Math, or Prentice Hall Math curriculums, and I have developed quite a familiarity with these texts.I have worked with over 500 students in preparing for the Living Environment, Earth Science, and Chemistry New York State Regents in the last 4 years. I work with a range of resources including the Barron's Prep Books, EarthComm textbooks, and my self-made prep materials.My passion is in literacy education.

With my familiarity with Common Core and Common Core aligned texts and my sincere interest in finding the right "style" of learning for each unique child, I have found great joy and success in working with students in elementary school.I look forward to meeting your family and your student and working together to help your child realize their fullest, brightest potential!

I'm a graduate from Fordham University with a B.S. in Computer Science and a B.A. in music, with a minor in Mathematics. I have an extensive background in computer science and mathematics as well as the humanities in general. My teaching interests are wide-ranging, including computer science, reading, writing, and math. I'm also a great test-taker, and have been helpful in the past to students in preparing for a panoply of tests, from high school level to higher ed.Having grown up having to mostly teach myself from textbooks rather than learning from teachers, as well as tutoring students who were dealing with ADHD and other learning disabilities, I had to work hard to develop learning and organizational strategies to keep myself on task. As a result, I'm extremely comfortable working with students with complex needs to find innovative learning tools for success. There's no right way to learn, and there are as many strategies as there are people in the world. In this way, I like to encourage students to use whatever methods grant them success.I love to read, play music (alto sax and piano), run, and dabble in electronic music production. Let's get in touch!

Education is the greatest equalizer...I believe this phrase effectively encapsulates my perception of what exactly education is, and should be.Regardless of where you come from, education can take you farther and higher than you ever thought possible.As your tutor, I will work to empower you to get to any destination you want your unique educational journey!

I have 5 years of experience in tutoring and mentoring students between the ages of 13-18 and have volunteered for after school programs for elementary age students as well as many other volunteer experiences with the youth of NYC. I have a true passion for learning new things personally and have loved to have been able to incorporate that into my career and volunteer experience over the past 10 years in NYC.In my career experience I have become a highly compassionate, resourceful and solutions-oriented expert in training and developing organization’s employees via one-on-one and group coaching and mentoring, developing both written and verbal job development tools and building positive, long-lasting relationships with employees and clients. I have further experience in human relations, onboarding and job development, team building and training and implementing motivational training techniques.I would love the opportunity to work with you and help you to discover a true love for learning and understanding. If hired, you will gain a diligent, goal-oriented professional with the agility, dedication, and focus required to successfully fill this role.

My love affair with language began in 8th grade when, as I read short stories, I saw how word-crafting could issue in what I call 3-D thinking. Good writing breathes sharp life into ideas, fosters synergy across them while creating new thought patterns for writer and reader. Throughout my 25 years of teaching and tutoring college students at an Ivy League university and at other local institutions guiding them through class essays, research projects, honors and masters theses, and graduate school personal statements--I always found joy in helping students discover what they wanted to sayand to express themselves coherently and persuasively. I hold a B.A. in English from Fordham University summa cum laude and in 1998 I earned a Ph.D. in English Literature from the University of Pennsylvania. In the course of completing my doctoral project after a long pause from grad school to raise my son, I cultivated the ability, and empathy, to look at academic challenges resourcefully from both sides of the desk. Given that my research on Hamlet was highly interdisciplinary-- joyous and original--I have carried that intellectual exhilaration into all my work as a lecturer, writing specialist, tutor, academic advisor and administrator, always urging students to seek out more conceptual connections and to write as integratively as possible. Currently I am working part-time by choice, but my staunch resolve that the pen is mightier than the sword remains intact and never fails to excite me. I want to share my excitement, expertise, and love of writing with you--and am ready to motivate you and empower you, as I have done so for numerous students, to write your best thinking!

I received my Bachelor of Science degree majoring in Maths, Statistics & Physics and MBA in Finance. I worked in the Financial Services Industry in Asia. Having retired and traveled extensively, now settled in WA, USA, I enjoy teaching Maths to children & adults.

Hello! I am a college student at Fordham University. I am a History major with minors in Medieval Studies and Anthropology. I can help out with History, English, Writing, and Reading skills.I have been a tutor for almost one year and hold a position as a copyeditor for a research journal at my university. My strength is helping students improve writing skills through close reading, essay-editing, and revision.

As a student myself who has used tutoring resources many times, I know the need for good teachers to help students succeed, and I am passionate about giving back these lessons the same way I was able to receive them! I have taught students of many different ages from as little as 6 years old to as old as 16/17. I love teaching all ages in subjects such as reading and math, especially when it comes to the SATs. My philosophy is to never assume. I approach every student as a blank slate where I do not know about their prior knowledge, and as such, I make it a point to explain everything I teach thoroughly to ensure they have a strong foundation. With patience and understanding, I grow with my students to assist them in getting the most possible out of their education with me.

I am an experienced educator with a passion for fostering academic excellence, while also being in tune with learning differences that each student brings to their educational process. I am excited to share my journey with you and hopefully provide a comfortable learning environment for your child. My experiences include: substitute teaching in ELA, history, social studies and special needs in Wake County, NC. I have privately tutored elementary students in reading and ELA and have had success with students whose processing skills are not at the classroom pace. I home schooled all of my children through ninth grade and ran an enrichment based out-of-school time program for elementary and middle school students in Mississippi. This program not only emphasized the importance of personalized learning but also cultivated an environment where students thrived academically. I had the privilege of homeschooling my children from 2nd grade through 9th grade and this experience was both immensely rewarding, while allowing me to tailor their educational content and pace to their unique learning styles. My children have gone on to excel at nationally ranked private high schools and competitive colleges despite their dyslexia. Their success and the success of the students I tutor serves as a testament to the effectiveness of my individual and phonics based teaching style. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English with a minor in History from Fordham University. My academic background equipped me with a strong foundation in critical thinking, effective communication, and a deep appreciation for the humanities. I am eager to leverage my education and experience to inspire and support students in their academic endeavors. My commitment to education goes beyond simply imparting knowledge; I strive to cultivate a love for learning in each student I work with. I believe that every child has the potential to succeed, and I am dedicated to providing the guidance and encouragement necessary to help them reach their goals. I look forward to the opportunity to work with motivated candidates who share my vision of empowering students through tailored tutoring and support.

I am a graduate from Fordham University with a BS in Biology and recently graduated with my MPH in Global Health and Epidemiology from NYU. I am passionate about the intersection between biology, statistics, infectious disease and health equity,

I was born and raised in West Orange, New Jersey an urban city just ten minutes east of Newark. Entering prep school at the age of thirteen was a very difficult transition for me socially; as the demographic makeup of my academic surroundings switched from the inner-city to predominately suburban. Psychology and medicine have been interests of mine since I was a senior in high school, which is why I took a position as an EMT. I began college on the track for medical school, yet I always managed to keep my interest in psychology by enrolling in at least once course each semester. This pattern continued until my sophomore year, when I changed my major to psychology and decided to pursue it wholeheartedly. Throughout my undergraduate career, I was also a varsity football player for four years, playing the position of cornerback.In the spring semester of my freshman year of college, I enrolled in a course entitled Social and Emotional Development, which was a seminal moment in fostering my interest in child psychopathology. We examined different factors that influence patterns of development in children, from birth to early adulthood. Captivated by the interaction between genetic predisposition and environmental factors, and subsequent development of or resilience against psychopathological manifestations, I began to explore future research topics of this nature.While exploring different research opportunities, I came across Mt. Hope Family Center in Rochester, NY during my senior year of college. My interest grew as I learned more about their multi-level studies examining maltreatment in children and adolescents from high-risk, low-income populations. The summer after graduation, I returned home to New Jersey and was hired as a camp counselor for males aged ten through twelve at Harbor Hills Day Camp in Mendham, NJ. This population was quite different from my subsequent experiences, as most were from wealthy families from surrounding suburban cities. Nonetheless, the experience was still valued, as it gave me further insight into the cultural differences of parenting styles in affluent populations.During the fall semester of 2011, I worked a project entitled The Me and My Family Project, and was supervised by Professor Patrick Davies. The main focus of this project was to examine why children who are exposed to high levels of family discord are at risk for developing psychological problems. The severity and chronicity of the discord, along with knowledge attained through academic courses, helped elucidate to me the robust implications associated with childhood maltreatment.In the spring semester of 2011, I was an intern on a suicide prevention program called Sources of Strength Community Research Project, which was designed to foster resiliency through supportive social relationships and networks. I was taught the importance of positive peer and adult relationships while augmenting help-seeking behaviors in adolescent-aged children. Through this position, I gained valuable insight into the feelings and cognitions of both suicidal and non-suicidal teenagers, which I would later draw upon when working with adolescents at Mt. Hope Family Center. During this time, I accepted a position as a habilitation counselor for Grace Community Services, which provides living services for individuals with mental disabilities. Through this job, I have developed the ability to work in a challenging environment with diverse individuals, while honing important interpersonal skills utilized in clinical settings, such as patience, active listening, and conflict resolution.In the summer of 2012, I was hired at Mt. Hope Family Center as a summer camp family research assistant. We conducted family recruitment visits for child participation in Mt. Hope's NIMH-funded summer camp (Child Abuse and Trauma-Related Psychopathology: Multiple Levels of Analysis). Visits were conducted both in family homes as well as at the center, and included providing a detailed description of camp, as well as allaying any logistical concerns of parents, such as time and location for pickup and drop-off. Genetics research has always been a critical aspect of summer camp, as saliva and blood samples were collected for multi-level analysis of different aspects of child and adult development, such as temperament, depression, social withdrawal, impulsivity, and mood disorders, as well as cortisol.Beginning in September of 2012, I began as a research assistant on a Study of Late Adolescent Resilience. Designed as follow-up to summer camp, this NIDA-funded research examines substance abuse in emerging adults eight years after the assessments in camp. As a multi-level study, it examines anxiety, depression, substance abuse, personality, emotion regulation, and temperament as they pertain to maltreatment. Neurocognitive assessments are used to examine attention, memory, executive planning, decision-making, risk-taking behaviors, and impulsivity. Responsibilities as research assistant were immediate, as I started on Project SOLAR from its inception. As a researcher, we were responsible for almost all aspects of study implementation, including measure and battery organization, distribution of monetary compensation, determining implementation of neurocognitive assessments, and any logistical issues of study participation. As genetics coordinator, I was responsible for implementing and improving cortisol collection protocol, as well as coordinating cortisol shipment for assay.During my time at Mt. Hope Family Center, I volunteered as a counselor for the PATHS (Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies) Therapeutic Afterschool Program. Started in 1987, the program aims to help elementary school children (aged six to eleven) reduce violent and disruptive behavior through social and emotional learning. Collaborating with other counselors was essential in in creating effective behavior regulation strategies and lesson plans. PATHS provides an open and supportive environment for children in order to foster healthy problem solving and general life skills.In order to bolster my application to graduate school, I took Kaplan's GRE prep course and enrolled in several PhD level courses at the University of Rochester, including Intro to Clinical Research Methods, Child Development and Learning in Context ages 5-12, and Psychopathology-I. In 2015, I was accepted in the Clinical Psychology doctoral program at Fordham University, where I am currently enrolled. My research interests include examining outcomes for children and adolescents with maltreatment and trauma histories.Through experiences at both Fordham University and the University of Rochester, I have been equipped with the ability to be an effective tutor and educator of students of all ages and backgrounds. My psychological background has also allowed me to come in contact with a variety of populations throughout numerous situations. I am confident in my ability teach subjects at the elementary through high school level, as I have been a TA for two courses at Fordham University so far, including Foundations of Psychology and Research Methods. Most importantly, I am enthusiastic and motivated to work with young people, and have genuine passion for teaching, learning, and academia.

I have a degree in Teacher Education, majoring in Childhood Education and Social Studies.

My Bachelor's Degree is from the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus and my teaching degree is from the Moneague Teachers' College.I have been teaching since 1998. I have taught Students from as young as 2 years old to adults. I am currently available to tutor ELA, reading and High School English. My absolute favorite subject to teach is reading.Education is a lifelong career; it encompasses our lived experiences as well as our learned experiences. It is by no means static. As new information becomes available, based on research, we need to adapt and be ready to evolve with it. This does not mean that you have to lose your sense of identity, personal attributes or other aspects of you that makes you unique as a teacher or an individual. What this means is that you will be so equipped for the challenges ahead that you can help your colleagues as well as your students.As an educator I believe that there is potential in all of us just waiting to be nurtured so as to promote growth. There are hidden talents waiting to be discovered and ushered into the right direction. I believe that by channeling the prerequisite skills students come with, we can unearth skills beyond imaginable. My philosophy with regards to Education is that instruction must take into consideration the learner and varies based on specific learning targets.I love finding new and exciting adventures that I can share with my kids. Going to theme parks, museums, boat rides, wherever the adventure takes us.
