"With 20 years of experience as an educator and a strong foundation in science and social science teaching at both the high school and college levels, I hold a Bachelor's in Biology and Psychology, a masters in Education and second masters in public health studies. As an academic coach, I expertly guide students of all ages to master study strategies, executive functioning skills, academic success skills and career coaching. Alongside my work as a coach/tutor, I recruit for and manage a STEM teacher training program at one of the top 10 graduate universities in the US.
My academic and professional journeys have equipped me with a deep understanding of what is required for students to be successful in high school, college, and beyond.
My passion for teaching is rooted in 20 years of dedicated experience in tutoring and education. I have honed my teaching methods through various settings, including the traditional high school and college classroom environments, one-on-one private tutoring, and group coaching. My approach is student-centered, focusing on active learning, problem-solving, and fostering a growth mindset. I believe in creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel empowered to ask questions, explore concepts, and build confidence in their abilities. I use visual aids, real-world examples, and differentiated instruction to cater to diverse learning styles and ensure comprehension.
Over the course of my career, I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of students, from elementary school children struggling with executive functioning skills to high school students navigating AP coursework and preparing for college applications. I have also worked with graduate students as a thesis advisor. Whether in a structured classroom setting or through personalized one-on-one sessions, my goal remains consistent: to inspire a love for learning and equip students with the skills they need to succeed academically and beyond." less...
