I have been a Biology Teacher for 6 years in New York City Schools. Prior to this I attended St. John's University with a major in adolescent education with a concentration in biology. I received my masters degree from Touro University in instructional technology and instructional design, I have been certified to teach in New York State since 2019 and currently hold my professional certification. I have since been continuing my education with various professional development opportunities and credited courses.

I have tutored since I was a high schooler myself and continued my tutoring experience as I've progressed in my career. I really enjoy working in small groups or one to one with students to better help them understand content knowledge and go at a pace that is appropriate for them. I have experience working with students of varying abilities, including students with disabilities, students graduating early and students enrolled in college or AP courses. I typically pursue a student led inquiry approach when working with students and always engage in a personalized learning approach when working one on one. I find that these best support authentic and enjoyable learning and understanding for students.

I have taught students ranging from ages 6 to 20 years old. I have taught in a classroom setting, one on one and in group settings in combination for well over a decade. I have experience teaching and tutoring in Living Environment, Regents Biology, Regents Physics, ASL, AP Biology, AP Environmental Science, Anatomy & Physiology, Ecology, and any general sciences. I truly believe all students have the ability to learn and understand the fundamentals of the world around us and within us. Teaching is one of my greatest passions and I enjoy shining a positive light on science for all students.

Approved Subjects

Ecology

Ecology

I have taught AP Environmental Science for a full year. Additionally, I have taught ecology as an elective for 2 years prior to teaching AP Environmental to seniors as their senior science elective. Ecology is a part of all the biology curriculums I cover, so I have been teaching ecology in part for 6 years.
Physical Science

Physical Science

I have a degree in Adolescent Education with a concentration in Biology and am eligible to teach any general science grades 7-12. Although my specialty is biology I have taken opportunities to teach in physics and chemistry. I am familiar with 8th grade science curriculum since I am a 9th grade teacher and that is the content my students typically come in with.
Regents

Regents

I received a degree in Adolescent Education with a Concentration in Biology from St. John's University. During that time I tutored and assisted in AP Biology and Living Environment/Biology at the High School for Community Leadership during the school year and during summer school. I have been teaching Regents Living Environment/Biology for 6 years and have taught AP Biology for 2 years as well as AP Environmental for a year. Additionally I have taught General Science, Ecology, Anatomy & Physiology, Physics and Computer Science. Additionally I have spent 4 years of Science Department Chair for entire science department at my school which includes cross curricular planning, purchase orders and instructional design. I completed my masters degree in Instructional Design and Instructional Technology which I put into practice everyday in designing my own instruction with a technology focus, making material accessible for all students.
Sign Language

Sign Language

I have taught ASL for 2 semesters now. I have taught ASL I, including the fundamentals of ASL and have continued with an ASL II class to go more in depth with vocabulary, sentence structure and deaf culture history. American Sign Language was the language that I studied in college and something I have been continuously passionate about. I am always learning more and continuing my education independently. This is a subject I really enjoy and would love to help others learn the fundamentals of the language to lead to a more inclusive life.
