Bio

I have taught college courses and I have also been training and mentoring elementary through high school students for the last 10 years in Math and Sciences.

What I have come to realize over the years is that developing a strong foundation in math, and science at an early age enhances the students ability to learn and think and is crucial for success in later years.

I have taught college courses and I have also been training and mentoring elementary through high school students for the last 10 years in Math and Sciences.

What I have come to realize over the years is that developing a strong foundation in math, and science at an early age enhances the students ability to learn and think and is crucial for success in later years. The best results I have had are with students who have come to me at the elementary level when I have been able to not only teach them the subject matter but also train them to think and build confidence in them. Many of them have gone on to do research in high school and are attending top colleges including Princeton University. Earth Science or Astronomy

Doing a interdisciplinary Ph.D., in BioPhysical Chemistry has given me a strong quantitative background for teaching Math K -12. I not only helped with difficulties in current school homework, but also do long term training to develop a strong foundation in arithmetic and algebraic skills. Many of my students have gone on to win several Middle School Math Competitions including Math League, Math Kangaroo, Math Counts, AMC & Math Olympiads.

Since I have a interdisciplinary Ph.D., I am qualified to teach all science areas. Based on the interest and ability of the student I review topics in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, to both master the facts and think scientifically. I can also help with school science home work and brain storm ideas for science projects. My goal is to get as many students as possible, interested in science and engineering, the industries of the future. Students who did elementary science with me have gone on to win Science Olympiads at middle school and high school divisions. I train students for USABO, USNCO and F=ma( Physics Olympiad) competitions.

I do test prep for AP/IB Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Calculus, SAT Math, ACT Math, NNAT, OLSAT, SSAT, PAARC, ISEE, Terra Nova and G & T admissions.

Knowledgeable and professional science teacher

My 10th-grade son really enjoyed his first biology lesson with Dr. B. She is very professional, knowledgeable, and engaging. We especially appreciate her broad expertise—not only in biology, but also in other science and math-related subjects. She is focused, organized, and clearly committed to helping students reach their academic goals. We had a great first experience and would definitely recommend Dr. B to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and goal-oriented teacher!

Great math teacher

I just started with Dr. B and am very impressed with her. She laid out her summer curriculum for Algebra 2 and explained how it would lead me through all the concepts in depth and also cover the school Algebra 2 syllabus and more. Throughout the lesson she explained the concepts very clearly and was very patient and would figure out where I was having difficulty and lead me forward from there. I'm really looking forward to learning the math from her this summer and being ready for school in the fall.
