I am a graduate of the University of Chicago where I studied philosophy as well as premed while in Chicago. I also have a degree from Northwestern University in Secondary Science as well as a masters in adolescent education from the College of Saint Rose.

While an 18 year undergraduate I began teaching at a neighborhood high school and loved it, and I have been teaching ever since.

I have been teaching for thirteen years now, including students from all over the world where I have taught abroad and at international schools. My experiences teaching include students from kindergarten through higher education and range from subjects of English, Biology, Environmental Science, Math, and Social Studies among others.

I hold multiple teaching certifications, including all sciences biology, chemistry, environmental science, etc. from the State of Illinois and Social Studies from the State of New York. I will also be New York State Certified for English in the coming year.

Currently I am running my own non profit that is creating a sustainable village in a remote part of East Africa and tutoring on the side. In addition to my love for teaching, I have helped create three farming villages, and have spent extensive time outside of America both teaching, farming, and community building. I have also coached both men and women's varsity basketball for five years.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask. I can happily provide recommendations as well.

I have taught math for ten plus years at the middle and high school levels. My undergrad was at the University of Chicago, where I studied premed, and a masters at Northwestern University, where I studied secondary science and math.

Prealgebra

I have twelve years experience teaching middle school math, including pre-algebra and algebra. This has included preparing students for both IB and AP high school curriculum. Having helped implement math curriculum at several schools I am also aware of ways in which to integrate curriculum both vertically and horizontally with other grades and with other disciplines.

My background teaching also includes working with ESL learners, and students with multiple learning disabilities.

I scored a 780 on the SAT Reading when I took that exam in high school, and scored perfectly on the GRE.

ACT Reading

Having taught English, philosophy, and classics from 5th grade all the way through college, I am well prepared to help any student with their ACT Reading examination.

I have perfect scores for such exams (including the GRE). The tricks to reading a passage and finding the information in the way that most of the standardized tests are looking for is one immediate way in which I can help a student. Understanding how to break down a passage so that you can construct the needed meaning... Read More

ACT Science

I have taught high school science for nearly ten years, and have developed the entire science curriculum and syllabus for three different schools for four different sciences.

My students have never scored less than a passing score for AP or IB credit. My background includes biology, chemistry, and environmental sciences, and I bring personal experience such as farming and working to create a sustainable village to enrich the material as well.

I have taught for over ten years, including the design of curriculum for grades 4-6 for English, all sciences, and math.

I have experience teaching Kindergarten through sixth grade for several years, having helped lead departments and the construction of interdisciplinary curriculum.

Zoology

Having studied zoology with the founder and head of the Delaware Zoo (among others) - I possess a great deal of both hands on experience as well as knowledge within this field.

A particularly strong interest of mine are the evolutionary elements and history of zoology, demonstrating the interconnectedness of all life on our planet, and even extending to the relationship between both biotic and abiotic structures.

Physiological zoology is also a particular interest of mine,... Read More

Botany

I have three years of experience teaching botany at the high school level plus another three teaching high school level environmental science with a heavy focus on elements of botany.

In addition I bring my personal experience as a farmer and executive director for a non profit creating a sustainable village (which has largely focused on food security and sustainability - with obvious relationships to the study and appreciation of botany) to the table.

Anthropology

I have studied anthropology at length at my undergraduate institution, University of Chicago. I have taught anthropology for several years at the high school level as well.

Genetics

I have experience teaching genetics at both the secondary and college level. Whether it's chromosomes, autosomes, disjunction, or point mutations that has you confused - I would be happy to help.

Nutrition

In addition to developing three high school's curriculum and syllabi for a nutrition course, I initiated several school wide and community wide projects to incorporate academic knowledge of nutrition with actual practice. This included an integrated and interdisciplinary nutrition course making use of agriculture, ecology, cooking, environmental science, etc.

With an undergraduate degree from the Univ. of Chicago in Interdisciplinary Studies in the Humanities, classics has been a major focus of my readings, conversations, and learning since I was a teenager.
