* Recently retired HS Biology teacher with 25 years experience!

Scott W.

Hello students and parents!

I am a recently retired high school biology teacher with well over 25 years of teaching experience.

I have an undergraduate degree from Clark University, and an MA a well as a 5th Year Teacher's Certification degree from UVM, as well as being certified for the past 25 years through the DOE of NYC. For the past 20 years I taught at Brooklyn Tech, one of the highest rated high schools in the country. The last 10+ years I taught almost exclusively AP Biology.

My results speak for themselves: My AP Biology College Board test scores were consistently well above average compared to other science teachers at Brooklyn Tech, and so therefore consistently amongst the highest in the entire state, throughout my career. My students whom I tutored last year also achieved top marks. And let me be clear: AI chatbots such as "Ask Sia" CANNOT help students master the College Board AP exam.

More important than all of this, I have an excellent rapport with not only my colleagues and my student’s parents, but especially with the students themselves. Here are just a few quotes from my students from this past year:

"I want you to know you were a huge influence on my life. I don’t think I would have tried twice as hard as I did in your class if I didn’t feel invested in the material, and that’s all thanks to you."

"I have never had a teacher who was as compassionate, enthusiastic and upfront as yourself. I am incredibly lucky to have had you as my teacher this past year."

"I have never had a teacher that made me feel as excited to learn as you have. You even go the extra mile to make study guides for us and to make class engaging and interactive. I know for a fact that I will remember you for the rest of my life."
