With a Master’s Degree in Education and permanent New York State teaching certification, I have spent over two decades helping students transform "information overload" into confident mastery of the NYS Living Environment (Regents) curriculum.
My approach is built on the belief that biology shouldn't be about rote memorization—it should be about understanding the "machinery" of life. I specialize in creating a calm, upbeat environment where students 'build' their knowledge through clear, vivid analogies. Whether we are discussing the "Lego Rule" of the Calvin Cycle or treating the Thylakoid like a solar power plant, I ensure students can visualize the science behind the vocabulary.
Regents Expertise: Deeply familiar with the specific phrasing of Regents exam questions and the required "Part D" state labs (like the Bromothymol Blue and Diffusion labs).
Proven Pedagogy: My background includes teaching gifted teenagers at Vassar College’s Summer Institute for the Gifted, giving me a unique ability to challenge advanced students while simplifying complex topics for those who are struggling.
Homeostasis & Study Habits: Beyond the content, I emphasize healthy study habits and positive self-talk to reduce exam-day anxiety.
Background & Credentials:
Masters in Education with permanent NYS Certification.
20+ years of one-on-one and classroom instruction.
Expertise in Cellular Processes, Genetics, Evolution, and Ecology.
