"I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Fairleigh Dickinson University, where I graduated with academic honors and was named to the Dean’s List. My academic background laid a strong foundation not only in the sciences, but also in critical reading, analytical thinking, and structured communication—skills I now apply directly to tutoring and classroom teaching. I also hold active teaching certifications and have continued to build my professional expertise through training in educational technologies and student-centered teaching strategies.

I have over six years of classroom teaching experience, working with students in grades 6 through 12 across various public school settings in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. My teaching roles have included middle school science, high school biology, ecology and integrated sciences. I’ve worked with diverse student populations, including English language learners, students with IEPs, and advanced learners. I strive to create inclusive learning environments where students feel supported and encouraged to ask questions, build confidence, and take ownership of their learning.

In both my classroom instruction and one-on-one tutoring, I use a student-centered approach that blends direct instruction with inquiry-based learning and scaffolded support. I emphasize breaking down complex concepts into manageable parts, using real-world examples and visual tools whenever possible. I also incorporate regular assessments and feedback to monitor progress and adjust instruction." less...
