My passion is learning. I believe in the power of knowledge. My love for acquiring knowledge lead me to a rewarding career in teaching. I taught for 13 years at the high school level. During those years, I taught biology, physical science, anatomy and physiology. As a Science Teacher, I also had the opportunity to enhance my knowledge of science by participating in various research programs at various institutions throughout New Jersey. The most unforgettable research experience was being invited to be part of a research team that created an experiment to be tested in microgravity at the NASA headquarters in Houston, Texas on a trip aboard the G1 Force plane.
Currently, I am working at the elementary level as a School Counselor. In this position, I provide support to students in various areas including social emotional education, science tutoring (elementary through college-level students), career-focused programs, test-taking strategies and study skills. In addition, I oversee students that receive Section 504 services and provide support as needed.
It is my goal to provide a learning experience that satisfies the specific need of the students. Tutoring sessions will focus on reviewing the specific content, identifying areas for improvement, provide support by reteaching content in a manner that is clear and simple for the learner to understand, and ultimately, teaching strategies for studying and test-taking that will help the learner achieve success.
At this time, tutoring sessions will only be offered online as we continue to practice safety protocols due to the Covid-19 pandemic. I look forward to working with you and being a part of your journey towards academic success!

Approved Subjects

Anatomy

Anatomy

I have been teaching anatomy and physiology for a few years at the high school level. I like to provide students opportunities to review the content through games, hands-on actitivities and different study skills that will help them memorize anatomical terms as well as apply what they've learned to real life situations.
Biology

Biology

I have a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences. I have taught Biology for over 10 years at the high school level to monolingual and bilingual students. In addition, my research experience in biology and chemistry has allowed me to acquire greater knowledge of these subjects as it pertains to the classroom as well as scientific research.
Elementary Science

Elementary Science

I have been teaching science for more than 10 years at the high school level. I have taught physical science, biology and anatomy and physiology among others. I have also been able to participate in research programs where I have also worked as a mentor for high school students doing research at various institutions. These research programs have allowed me to gain more knowledge and enhance my skills in various subjects, particularly biology and chemistry.
Physical Science

Physical Science

My experience in teaching physical science include topics such as the scientific method, basic chemistry, physics concepts, and ecology. These concepts have been taught in such a way as to provide students a basic understanding of the scientific ideas presented by each as well as prepare them for the courses that focus on a more in-depth study of these subjects taught independently in higher grade levels.
Study Skills

Study Skills

I have experience in preparing students for the Biology Competency Test by creating review games such as Jeopardy, sample questions for small groups, flashcards, group discussions for sample open-ended questions. For anatomy and physiology classes, I create interactive activities within lectures where students serve as models for identification of bones, regional terms, and other anatomical terms that need to be memorized. Hands-on activities are implemented so that students can actively learn about concepts discussed in class. Other study techniques include review of notes, practice problems, games, and online resources that help students review concepts, complete diagrams to review anatomical terms, and practice quizzes and tests.

Excellent Tutor

Emy is the best out there you can get. She is always prepared and knows her topics in-depth. She explains concepts patiently and clearly. She makes difficult topics easy to understand. My nephew learned a great deal in the past 20 hours of biology sessions with Emy. She turned a low grade biology student into a grade A one. I will certainly strongly recommend Emy if you want to find a biology tutor or teacher.
