As a passionate educator with a Master's in Environmental Studies from the City University of New York, I have over 5 years of experience in tutoring and classroom instruction, specializing in Earth Science, Biology, and general Science for middle and high school students. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel empowered to explore their curiosity. I strive to connect lessons to real-world applications, making science relatable and exciting. Witnessing my students' growth and confidence is incredibly rewarding, and I am dedicated to helping them achieve their academic goals. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy hiking and exploring nature, which further fuels my enthusiasm for teaching science.
