I have worked hard in the subjects that I excel in to get where I currently am. I am an undergraduate student at Stony Brook University majoring in Mathematics, so you could say that Math and me really click. I have worked with others, trying to better help them obtain a better understanding of math and they have shown bright results.My hobbies include some outdoor activities like going row boating or hanging with friends. I sometimes spend time working on my Youtube channel.

I have received my Bachelor of Science degree from Stony Brook University in May 2014, graduating with Summa Cum Laude distinction. In college, I have studied biochemistry as a major, philosophy as a minor, and have been an active teaching assistant for general chemistry, physics, biochemistry, and genetics at the University. Throughout these wonderful experiences, I have worked with many students under many different settings and have experience in both one-on-one tutoring and group tutoring. Not only am I diligent in actively engaging my students into the academic material, but I am also experienced in coming up with strategic methods as to how they can improve. I try to look out for the cause of the students’ confusion, and then move on to resolve it by teaching the student the key concepts that are necessary for understanding the material. As of now, I am tutoring Algebra, Algebra 2, Algebra 3/4, Arithmetic, Elementary Math, Middle School Math, Pre-Algebra, Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Genetics, Honors Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physics, Physiology, MCAT Biological Sciences, and MCAT Physical Sciences. Every student deserves the most attention that he or she needs, and I am deeply committed, as well as strongly determined, to help my students excel in these areas.

I am biologist passionate about teaching and making peoples lives easier.

Throughout my academic career, I always found ways to make hours of studying enjoyable by coming up with silly mnemonics, jokes, and puns about the material I would have to otherwise dryly trudge through. Whether it was my preparation for AP exam week, pre-med course midterms, MCAT, medical school finals, or my USMLE Step exams, I always found that the best way to manage stress, avoid burnout, and memorize material effectively was to make it fun rather than a chore. By combining my hobby of performing improvisational comedy with my passion for teaching, I've developed an engaging style of tutoring over my 3 years of experience as a college and med school TA. After graduation from St. George's University School of Medicine, I'll be pursuing an MBA in healthcare management and applying for residency in psychiatry, a field I'm deeply passionate about.

I am an experienced math tutor and have tutored all math levels from pre-algebra to multivariable calculus/differential equations. I served as the mathematics tutor for my undergraduate university's college of engineering where I worked with college students on achieving success in their courses. My teaching philosophy is that anyone can learn and achieve mastery in math, we just have to figure out what the best way to break down concepts is and simplify steps as much as possible. There are many, many ways to approach math problems, the trick is finding the one that makes to most sense to each individual. I hold a double bachelors degree in Applied Mathematics and Economics from Stony Brook University and am working on my PhD in Economics.

I have been teaching literature and writing courses for seventeen years. I earned my Bachelor's degree in English from NYU, and I went on to complete a Ph. D in English at Stony Brook University. I am extremely passionate about my subject. I love interacting with my students, and helping them to feel more confident in their reading and writing skills. I have been helping students to navigate the college admissions process, including preparing for standardized tests and writing the college essay, since I began teaching. My primary motivation is to do anything I can to help each student accomplish his or her goals .

I received my degree in Business Management from Stony Brook University in 2013. I started tutoring friends and classmates throughout middle and high school, as well as student taught math classes after finishing the curriculum early and excelling on the Regents exams.I love tutoring in math and science, but also enjoy helping students understand context and better express their ideas in writing and history.I especially enjoy tutoring in math because it brings me great joy when a student masters a concept with which they were previously struggling.I also excel at helping students study and prepare for exams because I help them develop better study habits, as opposed to simply cramming to do well on a single exam.I have a passion to motivate students to achieve their full potential. More than raising test scores, I help each student gain more confidence in their own abilities and increase their proficiency in understanding with context, rather than simply memorizing facts or formulas. I adapt my teaching style to the particular needs of each student, with the objective of guiding students in becoming more capable overall, through practice in sharpening their strengths and overcoming their weaknesses.My hobbies include video games, snowboarding, singing/music, working out/exercise, and doing Tough Mudder! I love doing Tough Mudder because it is both individually challenging, as well as being very team-oriented. This allows me to personally challenge my own limits while also helping others to do the same!

I love tutoring students. Whether it's family, friends, or new students, I've had experiences with all different types of learners which has helped me grow as a tutor and become more flexible through experimenting and developing different teaching modes. In high school, learning to manage my time helped me dissect my learning style which resulted in more efficient and effective study methods. I joined Varsity Tutors because I want to help students not only maximize, but exceed their potential.Outside of academics, I enjoy watching and playing sports, listening to and writing and music, and hanging out with family and friends.

I am an economics major with a strong interest in Macroeconomics. I love to explore different economic journals to get a head start on my academic career. I enjoy teaching other students because it helps them succeed in their studies. It also helps me learn things that I may not have come across before. I competitively play chess and am a part of the badminton club at my university. I think it is very important to stay well-rounded in life, so I take great interest in subjects outside my field of study. These include mathematics, political science, history and physics.

I'm a medical resident. looking to tutor in biology, anatomy, math, and MCAT prep. Teaching is one of my passions, and I have tutored since I was in high school. I continued to tutor while at Stony Brook University where I graduated with a double major in applied math and bioinformatics/computational biology. Due to unfortunate circumstances, I need to stay home for the next few months. I do not want to stop my tutoring so here I am looking to help students virtually! Medical school has made biology my favorite subject to tutor in as I've really nailed in me how to learn and understand a lot of material in a short amount of time. Medical school has taught me many approaches and tactics to making learning more efficient I wish I knew about earlier. I aim to share these methods with my students to make them stand out from the rest.

I have recently completed my final semester at Adelphi University, and I have received my Master's Degree in Literacy from Birth-Grade 12. Prior to attending Adelphi, I completed my Bachelor's Degree at Stony Brook University; graduating with a double major in English (Education) and Philosophy, and a minor in Political Science. I have my New York State Provisional English Teacher Certification for Grades 7-12 and Literacy Birth-Grade 12.During my studies for my undergraduate degree, I had a very positive learning experience student teaching both middle school and high school students in the Bayport-Bluepoint School District. I taught English in three seventh grade inclusion classes, and three tenth grade inclusion classes. I was successfully able to practice and understand how to differentiate instruction and scaffold my lessons. By becoming familiar with the different ability levels within the classrooms, I was able to meet the individual learning needs of my students, as well as tune in to their specific learning styles. I used this information to inform how I approached cooperative learning and assessments. This experience prepared me to embark on a career as a teacher by guiding my lesson planning, and helping me incorporate the NYS Common Core Standards into the lessons I taught.I am currently an English Substitute at Eastport-South Manor Junior-Senior High School. I teach mainly English classes from grades 7-12. This teaching experience is valuable, because I work closely with teachers and get to know the students very well. I have learned how to adapt to any classroom and execute any lessons that teachers have left for me to teach. Through my experience substitute teaching, I have learned a lot about myself as a teacher, and have strengthened my classroom management skills. Along with substitute teaching in this school district, I have also completed two leave replacement positions in my building. The first was a two-month leave replacement for a high school AIS English teacher in the spring of 2014. The second leave replacement also lasted two months, and it was for a middle school Wilson reading specialist in the fall of 2014. Both of these leave replacements helped me grow as an educator by teaching me how to plan and structure lessons and adapt my teaching to meet my student's needs. I hope to have my own English classroom one day, or even work as a reading specialist. My goal as an educator is to help students become independent and active learners, while engaging students in higher-level thinking skills.

One of my favorite writers, Bret Lott, once wrote: "Of course words matter. Of course we must choose carefully." As a teacher, I aim to impart Mr. Lott's lesson to my students, chiefly, that we must give time and effort, as well as great care, to the manner in which we express ourselves. After all, writing is a craft, much like a painter taking brush to canvas, or a sprinter gliding along a track. Keeping this and other lessons in my mind, I teach my students the value of hard work and the virtue of perseverance, all in an effort to achieve their potential.I have spent the last three years working as a high school English teacher in the NYC public school system, and earned a Master's degree in Education (grades 7 to 12). Prior to becoming a teacher, I earned an MFA degree in Creative Writing. My poems and literary criticism have appeared in such respected journals as American Book Review, Washington Square, Eleven Eleven, and others. I will bring the breadth and scope of this experience and knowledge to work for you and your needs.

Hello to all my students! My name is Irfan, and I am more than happy to help. I am a medical doctor with strengths in anatomy, biology, and several other sciences. I was once where you were, and I fully understand that sometimes some subjects are just too difficult to understand. I believe, however, from my experience that no subject is too difficult. The key is to break down the topics in simpler terms that are easy to digest! After that, you will be able to tackle anything. I am here to assist you on your journey and look forward to working with you! :)

I am currently completing my fourth year of the B.A. / M.A. Combined Program in English and the Teacher Preparation Program at Stony Brook University. With a strong background in literature, composition, and teaching methods, I believe that I am prepared for the dynamic and exciting challenges of tutoring students for their English classes. Through my coursework, I have designed lesson plans based on the Common Core State Standards. During my field experience in diverse Long Island school districts, I observed engaging lessons and had the privilege of observing the administration and grading of the English Regents Exam. As President and Co-Founder of the Stony Brook Book Club, I led weekly discussions and created a comfortable and intellectually stimulating environment. As a teaching assistant in the Massapequa Public Schools Summer Music Program, I taught students new skills and concepts while encouraging their continued growth. I believe that every student can find a book he enjoys and with the right practice, can express himself through writing. I love to read, bake, and scrapbook in my spare time.

I'm a student at Stonybrook University working on a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. I love working with students ranging from elementary/middle school common core subjects to high school level English and Math. My favorite subjects to teach in are History (or other social studies) and English, I have a passion for history and literature and would love to help any student with writing essays, proof reading and among other things. Geometry and Algebra are also another strong suit of mine!

I am a recent graduate from Stony Brook University and have received my Bachelors of Science degree in Biology. Over my undergraduate career I have tutored many different students ranging from grades 4-12 as well as several college classes. I have always loved being able to work with a student or colleague to find the right answer of a difficult question. I tutor math (Calculus, Geometry, Trigonometry, Algebra) as well as SAT math, English, and science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Biochemistry). I really enjoy tutoring math and English! Math always has an answer to work towards and can be taught using various mediums. English is also a favorite subject of mine as I love to read and write and love reading the works of others. I like to tutor subjects by working through problems with students and practicing problems. Outside of academics, I enjoy hiking and have almost finished half of the Appalachian trail. I also enjoy archery and shoot olympic recurve style.

I graduated from Stony Brook University in May 2014 with a B.S. Degree in Applied Mathematics and Statistics. I've had a great experience tutoring and assisting students in math. My teaching experience lies in math of any kind, ranging from Middle School Math to AB Calculus. My favorite subject to tutor would definitely be Statistics, since I have acted as a Teacher's Assistant for a statistics course and just feel very comfortable with that material. Additionally it's where my roots lie, and will always hold a little sentimental value to me. In such a position, I discovered my style of teaching, which is to teach by example; running through a problem, going over what we did in more detail, and then displaying alternate paths to reach the same answer. Outside of mathematics, I am very passionate about video games, playing a particular franchise or two on a high competitive level, and also stream tournaments on Long Island. Computer technology, creative thinking, and Soccer round up my main interest pool. I'm not the kind of character to get mad or grow impatient. I teach with a smile, and look forward to passing my knowledge onto other students!

Hi! I am a NYS Certified English teacher, grades 7-12, with 15 years classroom teaching experience. I have privately tutored over the years, and I am looking to pick up more clients as I am currently out of the classroom and home with my twin sons! I have a great track record with student success in all areas of ELA. I love helping students gain confidence in their skills in English and realize they can experience success!I have expertise in writing fundamentals, writing essays, research and thesis papers, college application essays, college prep essays (Freshman Comp), grammar, literature, literary analysis, NYS test prep.My outside interests include spending time with my family, traveling, outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, kayaking, and when I have the time, I write on my blog.I would welcome the opportunity to help you achieve success in English!

I am a biology major at Stony Brook University. I will be graduating this coming December and will be applying to medical schools for next year. 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.

Hello, prospective students! I have made a life of teaching and studying. Among the subjects to which I have given the most attention are philosophy and history, each of which I have also taught at a college level. My courses have always been writing-intensive, honing my skills at guiding students in mastering their self-expression in English. I have also taught test preparation courses for the SAT, GRE, and LSAT. The most rewarding of all my teaching endeavors has been helping guide my son through his remote and online education. Now I want to put all of this to use for students here at Varsity Tutors. Any student can improve with the right personal care and hard work, and I am committed to providing the attention and support you need.

After working as a high school English teacher in New York for ten years, I came to Austin to pursue a PhD in Curriculum and Instruction at UT.Working with students on an individual basis is a wonderful opportunity for me to craft a personalized approach to subject matter and techniques. I especially enjoy working with students on their writing, whether personal essays or application statements that they have time to edit and revise, or on-demand writing tasks that appear on tests like the SAT or the AP Exam.

I specialize in proofreading and offer guidance in english subject matter. My goal is to assist individuals in becoming more comfortable with topics relating to english and grammar. I very much enjoy writing and I hope to alleviate discomfort associated with writing. I am also proficient in American Sign Language.

I am a rising junior at Stony Brook University majoring in Chemical and Molecular Engineering. My passion for tutoring started off in high school as I explained certain topics to my friends once in a while. Not only did this make me realize that it made me understand those topics better, but more importantly, it made me feel good knowing that I was able to teach something to someone successfully. This passion evolved as I became a paid tutor for the SAT test in my senior year of high school, a teaching assistant for Calc IV in my third semester of college, and a residential tutor for Organic Chemistry in my fourth semester of college. Currently, my favorite subjects to tutor are Chemistry, the SAT, and Algebra/Calculus I. I can make complex concepts and questions simpler by implementing various tips and tricks that I have learned throughout my time of learning and teaching these subjects. My teaching philosophy revolves around my belief that everyone can learn a subject, they just have to be taught the right way.

My goal is to promote an interactive and engaging tutoring experience to my students. My attempts to accomplish this are through visualization, analogies, and consistent questioning of course topics. Everyone learns material differently and every course that we engage in is different from the other. Thus it will be our goal to determine what works best for you individually and what weak spots need to be targetted for an eventual better understanding of the topicsMy educational background stems from Stony Brook University, where I obtained a bachelor's of science in biochemistry. My highest qualification for this position comes from the fact that I have spent a year as an undergraduate peer tutor for courses such as biochemistry I, molecular & cellular biology, and organ & cell physiology. I have also obtained level 1 certification by the college of reading & learning association. In addition, I have also had 3 years of experience as an undergraduate teaching assistant for biochemistry I, cellular & molecular biology, and introductory biology. Finally, I have also had 1.5 years of undergraduate research experience in structural biology, thus I am able to have a deeper understanding of the material that was taught to me in classes.Currently I am also working as a technical support agent for a biotech company, where solving scientific problems on research applications is something I do every day. I am also interested in one day becoming a physician and hope that this experience also helps reinforce the material that I have learned over the years. I am also very open to new perspectives, so please feel free to let me know your thoughts and opinions when we have sessions together!

I am currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies (MA/LS) with focus on Business and Marketing at Stony Brook University, NY, USA. Since 2008, I have been working as a Teaching Assistant and Substitute Teacher in private and public schools in NY USA.I have served for three years as the Head of the Business & Marketing Department in Bahria College, Islamabad, Pakistan. During my time as Head, I worked directly under the Principal to develop new curricula for A’ Levels and O’ Levels, interviewing new candidates, organizing college-wide events, organizing tours for new students and managing all associated paperwork and correspondence.Simultaneously, I had the privilege of teaching economics and business studies to the O’ & A’ Levels (the British System equivalent to Grade 9-12 & first two years of Undergraduate Studies).In that capacity, I strongly believe in a philosophy of lifelong learning to meet the challenges of global competence. Keeping this vision in mind, I have been able to remain sensitive to the needs of students for exploring comprehensive multi-disciplinary studies, preparation for work, academic and social competence and a sense of citizenship that incorporates the cultures of all students into instruction.These are some of the courses I have completed towards accomplishing my Master of Arts in Liberal Studies (MA/LS) that have widened my perspective and vision towards HR and its relation with the Business needs and Management: Ethics in Management, Organizational Change Management, Foundations of Human Resource Management, Survey of Labor/Employment Relations, HR Management Workshop, and The Uses and Abuses of Technology.

Hello! I've always believed that learning should feel supportive, inspiring, and even fun. When I was growing up, I didn't always have the guidance I needed at home, and I often wished for a teacher who could really understand me. That's why I'm so passionate about tutoringI want to be that relatable, encouraging teacher for my students, the one who helps them feel seen and capable. I've been lucky to work with students of all ages and backgrounds: adults learning English as a new language, high school students in Ecuador, and elementary and middle school students here in the U.S. I tutor English Language Arts, English as a New/Second Language, and Spanishwith a special love for ENL and Spanish, because I enjoy showing students how language works like a puzzle and watching them light up when it finally clicks. I earned my B.A. in Linguistics from Stony Brook University and my M.A. in Literacy from Touro College, and I've recently completed a program in School District Administration. But more than my degrees, what I bring to tutoring is my belief that every student learns in their own unique way. My style is personal, flexible, and creativeI take time to really get to know you, figure out what's standing in your way, and come up with fun and effective strategies to help you grow. Outside of teaching, I love Latin dance (I even perform and compete in salsa!), and I also have a nerdy side that enjoys video games, puzzles, and Legos. Traveling and trying new things are big parts of my life too. All of these interests remind me that learning doesn't just happen in classroomsit happens everywhere when you're curious and open. If you're looking for a tutor who will meet you where you are, cheer you on, and help you reach your goals in a way that feels comfortable and motivating, I'd be honored to work with you.

I am a junior studying computer science at Stony Brook University. I enjoy teaching so I would love more opportunities to teach. I taught as an undergraduate teaching assistant for a computer science course before. I like to exercise and play video games for fun.

Ever since I was a little kid, I have always loved math and the physical sciences. I worked hard in high school, undergrad, and graduate school to expand my knowledge on the subject and become an expert in math. I know that math isn't everyone's favorite subject, so I'm here to share the tips and tricks that I've picked up in algebra, calculus, statistics, and trig with everyone.I'm always happy to lend a hand to those who need help. If you're having trouble in mathematics, let me know and and I'll help you to understand it!

I have my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Villanova University, a MBA from Rutgers University, and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Stony Brook University where my GPA was 3.6. I passed the NCLEX on my first attempt with 85 questions. I believe that making sure one's fundamentals are sound before proceeding onto more difficult subject matters. I look forward to helping others pass the NCLEX.

I am a Wake Forest University graduate with a degree in Psychology, and I am currently pursuing a career as a physical therapist.I have over 5 years of tutoring experience with students ranging from elementary to college level, tutoring math, reading, writing, and science. I have also had experience tutoring the SAT, as well as helping high school juniors and seniors with their college application process and essay writing.Throughout the years I've been a student, I've had many teachers and tutors, both good and bad. My personal philosophy is to respect my students and engage with them on their terms, and to foster a sense of purpose and positive attitude towards whatever I'm tutoring. I believe that a positive student-teacher relationship creates the best learning environment, and I try to achieve this with each of my students.I am a basketball junkie. I also enjoy football, lounging with my dog, and watching Netflix.

My name is Vladimir and I have a B.S in Biology from Stony Brook University. My academic background and interests include biochemistry, cell biology, physiology, microbiology, and medicine. I have a lot of practice in studying science/medicine, tutoring classes, teaching, researching, and volunteering.

Hi there! My goal with tutoring is help you create tools you can replicate when you're taking an exam, doing homework, or just without any guidance. My teaching style is patient, person-centered, and hands on learning. Can't wait to work with you!

As a recently certified Project Management Professional, I'm here to help you manage your study plan and build your confidence in passing the PMP Certification with flying colors. Let's aim for "Above Target" scores in People, Process, and Business Environment domains together!

Becoming an educator and tutor is not just a career choice for me; it is a calling to guide others toward their fullest potential. I believe that every student can learn and thrive when provided with the right encouragement, patience, and tools for success. My education is what lifted me from poverty and transformed my life in a positive way. As an educator, I strive to create a classroom and tutoring environment that values growth, creativity, and resilience. My teaching philosophy centers on the idea that learning should be engaging and personalized. Each student brings unique strengths, experiences, and challenges, and it is my role to meet them where they are. Whether working with a whole class or one-on-one, I aim to build trusting relationships that empower students to take ownership of their learning. Tutoring, in particular, allows me to witness the power of individualized instruction. I find deep satisfaction in helping students grasp concepts that once felt out of reach, and in seeing their confidence bloom as they make progress. Every session becomes an opportunity to reinforce not only academic skills but also perseverance, critical thinking, and self-belief. I am committed to lifelong learning myself, continually refining my methods to adapt to diverse learners and evolving educational practices. Through teaching and tutoring, I hope to spark the same love of learning in my students that has guided my own journey.

Recalling my educational experiences, I am mindful of the significant impact that teachersmake on the lives of young people. I realize that the skills and knowledge acquired will be used by young people throughout life. I am a NYSED Childhood Education Grades 1-6 certified teacher (with extensions in both Early Childhood Education and Special Education). I currently have the privilege of teaching students of varied academic/age levels and diverse cultural backgrounds, as a substitute teacher. Years of experience authenticates my ability to help students grasp current Common Core State Standards in Math and English, along with fundamental skills in Science and Social Studies. I very much enjoy working with students of various ages and helping them improve in all academic subjects. I am passionate in working with them to effectively build their confidence in their ability to achieve academically.

Teaching is a mutual journey that is entirely decided by the student and led by the teacher. I take full joy in walking alongside the educational journey in helping students to understand and develop into successful mastery and critical thinkers of information. As your tutor, I would be your source of empowerment, guide and coach. Most importantly, I approach tutoring and learning with the firm belief that all students have amazing strengths and talents that can be used to thrive.

My mission is to use my educational backing to give eager students the opportunity to acquire the assistance they need in achieving their academic goals. Being a strong student myself, I understand the dedication and effort required to excel in school and therefore I would be able to instill noteworthy values (such as time management, effective organization, and self-discipline) into prospective students who want to advance in their life. Through hard work and persistence, I will try my best to give students the ability to become more efficient in scholarly aspects as well as develop a versatile academic background. Since I am focusing my efforts on specialized exams, I will first analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the student and then provide the necessary materials accordingly in order to enhance their skills. Being that I have tutored students before, I know how to appropriately approach and assimilate to the students needs and wants. With my help, students will be able to easily reach their maximum potential and progress towards the next milestone in their life.

My teaching experiences have been defined by a commitment to engaging students in critical thinking, problem solving and a lasting desire for learning. Teaching is the ability to demonstrate a new skill to another person. Both the teacher and students grow in knowledge. Teaching can be joyful, enriching and challenging. Teaching gives me the opportunity to convey important information that can be used regularly or applied in the environment. As a teacher, I hope to build a strong foundation of learning in my students. My primary goal as an educator is to promote a learning environment for students. My role in the classroom or laboratory is to engage, assess and encourage students to participate actively in class, to listen and think critically, to challenge them to ask questions and to motivate growth in them. I focus on creating a classroom environment where all students are included, addressing different learning styles and ensuring all students have accessibility to become successful. I have gained some professional training in science communication class and scientist teaching science course to assist me in effective teaching of students. In addition, my approach to teaching in classroom is through active involvement of all the students. When I was an adjunct assistant professor at the city university in a general chemistry laboratory course, I observed that the students worked effectively when the experiments were being demonstrated before they began the experiments. During the demonstrations, I tried to make sure that each step was properly understood. Engaging the students during class by asking questions gave them the opportunity to participate actively. Students that are active learners learn more when compared to passive students, it is important to include every student in the classroom and laboratory. Also, I took some time to learn all the student's names to encourage full class participation, treating each student as an individual. I want the students to look forward to the next class with high expectations and passion to learn new material. I believe in visual representation, creating a model to make it easier for the student to learn. For example, when discussing Lewis structure (e.g. CH4), I created an actual ball-and-stick model of the methane molecule, so that the students can visually see that the shape of the molecule is tetrahedral and the C-H bonding. Also, encouraging group work in a class or laboratory setting improves leadership skills in the students. Students worked in groups for class assignments, providing them the opportunity to build on leadership and team working skills. I am dedicated to making sure my students are successful in the classroom, and they feel enthusiasm for the subject. In teaching, I hope to instill the passion of learning in my students by sharing my passion in the subject. In the future, I plan to build upon my teaching strategies and skills by attending workshops and taking advantage of chances to teach when possible. It is important to engage the students. Also, incorporating the Bloom's Taxonomy for writing objective, which will show how learning is demonstrated through knowledge, understanding, application, evaluation and synthesis. In addition to my teaching responsibilities, I have conducted workshops, seminars and brown-bag lunches to support development for students and my colleagues' covering topics in research and teaching areas. I can teach general, inorganic, analytical chemistry, environmental science and organic chemistry with their labs at both the undergraduate and graduate level. If an online course is suggested, I can create an online course for these courses. In 2015, majority of students are gearing towards online teaching (STS Class 2, page 7). As an online instructor, many students and professional are using online study. I plan to use online digital learning objectives to help the students understand, apply, analyze and evaluate the course material.

I earned my bachelor's degree in chemical engineering, then worked in the computer database software industry as a pre-sales engineer, consultant, trainer, and quality assurance engineer. Consulting in several industries gave me broad exposure to real-world problems and a work ethic that may serve as a role model. I learned to listen to problems and come up with creative and practical solutions. As a trainer and pre-sales engineer, I co-wrote a tutorial, created class materials, and made many technical presentations about "leading edge" software, and so became skilled at explaining complex concepts. My work in QA reinforced my obsession with quality and gave me a good eye for seeing and diagnosing errors, which applies to student errors and misunderstandings.I have tutored on and off since my college days, in math, science and ESL. I approach tutoring with a positive attitude, a good ear for listening, patience, respect, and humor. I have a bias toward deep understanding rather than rote memorization.

I currently have an honors degree from Stony Brook University in Applied Mathematics andSstatistics, I am also currently in graduate school at Stony Brook University to receive my Masters in Teaching.Working with students has always been a passion of mine and is now something I am pursuing. I currently work as a part-time dance instructor and teach children ranging from the ages 2 to 18. Through this job experience I have helped encourage and inspire student to do their best and have also helped tutor these student on occasion in between classes. I would love to continue to help students achieve their goals and push each student to their fullest potential!
