I am a pharmacy student with a passion for science and education. Before starting pharmacy school I attended Brandeis University where I took a liberal arts curriculum and pre-med courses. I started working in a pharmacy and was then motivated to pursue a career in pharmacy instead of medicine. I transferred to Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences and have been happily pursuing my doctorate in Pharmacy since then. I recently added a M.S. in Clinical Leadership from Union Graduate College to my course of study and will be working on that concurrently with the PharmD.

As a high school student I participated in tutoring middle school students in math and science courses. I also have experience working with elementary age children through a program called Junior Brandeis Achievers (a volunteer tutoring/after school activity program through Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts). I, along with another college student, met with a group of twenty elementary students two afternoons a week and coordinated physics/chemistry based activities. I learned from those students that the most knowledge is gained when students are actively engaged and excited about a topic! (It helps when the instructor is excited too!)

I believe that students learn best when they are excited about a subject and are best motivated by positive reinforcement. I plan to incorporate my passion and excitement for learning into my tutoring. I delight in planning lessons and activities related to educational concepts in order to engage students.

I also have experience working with high school students and I feel very comfortable with the subject matter and would be pleased to tutor any high school level science, math or history courses. Keep in mind that summer is a great time to get ahead! I would be happy to work with students in preparation for next school year or in conjunction with summer school!
Finally, I have experience tutoring college level science courses, specifically General Chemistry.

I look forward to helping your child to excel the way I have! I look forward to meeting to find out if your student and I are a good match!

Algebra 1

Algebra I is a critical subject for students to begin honing their algebra skills in preparation for future, more complicated math classes. In Algebra I students become acquainted with common mathematical symbols, concepts and ways of thought. Algebra I can be a really exciting course as students begin to understand the way math can really effect the world around them!

Microbiology

I have taken a general microbiology course at Albany College of Pharmacy as well as Bacterial Pathogenosis which focuses on the virulence mechanisms and pathogenicity of bacteria as well as the host mechanisms of defense against bacteria. I am experienced with working in a lab. I am extremely comfortable with the subject material.

Regents

I graduated with an advanced Regents diploma in 2008. I pursued undergraduate work in neuroscience and now pursuing a PharmD.
