My name is Kevin, and I am an ambitious individual who is all about learning. I am qualified to tutor students from elementary through high school in science subjects based on my educational background, professional experience, and teaching history. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology from Binghamton University, where I engaged in neglected disease research and global health advocacy as the vice president of the Universities Allied for Essential Medicines. During my undergraduate studies, I volunteered as a member of the Binghamton University Science Club, teaching local elementary school students from Johnson City basic biology and chemistry concepts, and I have experience helping older students understand more advanced science topics. I also hold a Master’s Degree in Public Administration from Marist College, where I completed graduate-level coursework in biochemistry and microbiology.
I have experience teaching and tutoring students across multiple age groups. I provided group science instruction to elementary school students in Johnson City and worked for 3 years as a Substitute Teaching Assistant at Clarkstown Central School District, supporting elementary classrooms with lesson preparation and student guidance. In my role as a Senior Lab Technician II at the Westchester County environmental science lab, I taught entry-level lab technicians proper pipetting procedures, trained new technicians on conductivity, pH, and turbidity measurements, and created guidelines to improve sample and data entry efficiency, further demonstrating my ability to explain complex concepts clearly.
My teaching approach emphasizes breaking down difficult concepts into manageable steps, using real-world examples, hands-on activities, and interactive discussion, and adapting lessons to each student’s learning style. I aim to help students of all ages build confidence, deepen understanding, and develop a lasting interest in science. In addition to conducting complex testing.
