Hello, my name is Michael S., and I am a high school science educator currently who has completed my Master’s degree and teacher certification in Adolescence Education (Biology 7–12) at SUNY Cortland. I earned my B.S. in Biology, magna cum laude, from Siena College and later pursued graduate-level medical training before choosing to follow my passion for teaching and coaching.
My background in advanced science coursework, combined with real classroom experience, allows me to break down complex topics—especially in biology and genetics—into clear, structured, and understandable steps. I specialize in helping students build confidence through strong conceptual understanding, strategic problem-solving, and effective test preparation for Regents and advanced coursework.
As both a teacher and coach, I value consistency, communication, and high expectations paired with strong support. My goal is not only to help students improve their grades, but to help them think critically, stay organized, and develop long-term academic confidence.
