I am studying qualitative and quantitative research methods and I enjoy tutoring math, science, and writing on the side. Prior to beginning my PhD program, I taught Special Education upper-level STEM in NYC for five years. Specifically I taught Algebra, Chemistry, Calculus Biology/Living Environment, Creative Writing and supported students with SAT/ACT test prep and college essay writing in grades 6-12....

I think learning should be full of laughter. Learning is relational, so, the core of our work together is getting to know each other. More specifically, I as the teacher, will get to know you as the learner--what are your unique learning strengths? What makes things "click" and how can I help you become a self-directed learner? My goal is to teach you the skills to be successful in any environment, with or without me!
