I graduated with a B.S. in Chemistry (3.7 GPA) from CUNY, College of Staten Island . I've worked as a math, science, and English tutor for over ten years in academia, learning centers, and privately. I was employed at CUNY's Writing Center where I assisted university students ranging from remedial to graduate-level craft written works for classes and personal statements for entry into competitive programs. Additionally, I freelanced as a private Math/Science tutor where I helped students of all levels understand the beauty of science to achieve the test scores and grades they desired. As an undergraduate, I attained entry into numerous competitive summer internships with personal statement components and therefore can also assist with these endeavors as well as college admissions. I have also taught college courses Organic Chemistry I and II labs at CUNY. Currently, I work as a professional chemist in the industry as a cosmetic chemist for top global beauty brands.
I have experience tutoring students of all ages, including elementary, middle, and high school, as well as college students and adults returning to the classroom. I believe every student has the potential to do well even in their least favorite subjects with the right support networks and I individualize each lesson to meet the student's specific needs and goals. I have worked with students of all abilities and can provide accommodations and adapt to special learning environments tailored to each individual. I have experience working with students who have intellectual disabilities, ADHD, English Language Learners (ELL/ESL), and other special needs. My personal approach to tutoring is to guide students to the right answers with leading questions and thought exercises such that a natural understanding is built rather than memorizing information that is quickly forgotten after an exam. I believe in building students' confidence over time until they are comfortable with a subject which eventually leads to mastery of the material.
