Hi! I’m a patient and encouraging tutor who believes that students learn best when difficult concepts are explained in a way that makes sense to them. I work with students who may be struggling with homework, preparing for a test, or simply want to feel more confident in a subject.

Hi! I’m a patient and encouraging tutor who believes that students learn best when difficult concepts are explained in a way that makes sense to them. I work with students who may be struggling with homework, preparing for a test, or simply want to feel more confident in a subject. My goal is not just to give students the answer, but to help them understand why the answer is correct so they can solve similar problems independently. My methods for supporting students are to help them see the relevance of what they are learning and to help them learn techniques to study and understand what they are learning. I tell my students that all questions are good questions and that asking questions means you are thinking deeply about the subject. I work to not only help students learn content but also inspire them to see the potential in themselves.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Science and a Master of Arts in Teaching. I taught public high school science and Biology 150 & 151 at Winthrop University for 8 years combined. Prior to getting my degrees, I was an in-person tutor.
I began teaching at Fusion Global Academy in 2021 where I am a current teacher of science. I have taught the following classes, Biology, AP Biology, Environmental Science, AP Environmental Science, Earth Space Science, Chemistry, Veterinary Science, Marine Biology, Astronomy, Life Science, Physics, Zoology, Animal Behavior, and Anatomy & Physiology.
I am a reflective practitioner and I work to make my teaching and knowledge better every year. I just attended a professional meeting for a week in Atlanta, Georgia with the Knowles Teacher Initiative where I am a Senior Fellow. I am committed to helping students succeed and have the most experience with high school age students.
I also have experience working with students with ADHD, autism, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, anxiety, and IEPs. I firmly believe everyone can learn and deserves the chance to learn and that practicing will improve learning and test scores.

Approved Subjects

Biology

Biology

I teach AP Biology currently and am a grader for this course with College Board over the summer.
Chemistry

Chemistry

I have been teaching chemistry for 5 years but also minored in chemistry in college.
Environmental Science

Environmental Science

I have been teaching AP Environmental Science since 2016 and have vast knowledge in this field. I read scholarly articles about environmental science and consider the economic and environmental sides of things when thinking about this topic broadly and determining solutions to environmental issues.
Physical Science

Physical Science

I teach Physical Science at Fusion Global Academy so I am very familiar with this curriculum.
Regents

Regents

I am familiar with Regents exams through New York state; I have taught students at Fusion Global Academy since 2021 who were preparing for the Regents exams and am aware of where to find the resources online to see the practice exams to help with test prep. I also have experience teaching Earth Space Science at the public school level and private school level and have been teaching it at Fusion Global Academy since 2021. Additionally, I taught Biology at the university level for 4 years so I know that subject in even more depth. I also continuously read and attend professional development to learn more about how to best deliver these materials. I will be well prepared for any students who are preparing to pass a Regents exam for science.
Zoology

Zoology

I have taught Zoology for 5 years so I know this subject well; the typical phyla I cover in class (in order) are Porifera, Cnidaria, Ctenophora, Platyhelminthes, Nematoda, Annelida, Mollusca, Arthropoda, Echinodermata, and Chordata . I have also taught classes on Animal Behavior and worked at a Veterinary hospital for 10 years.

great tutor

Wonderful tutor for my son who needs extra help reviewing AP bio concepts. She makes the topics easier to understand and is very patient with the student.

It has been wonderful working with your son. I am glad he is asking great questions to support his learning in the course!

Great Bio Tutor

Sharon is a wonderful and personable teacher. She was able to help my son understand some of the complex AP Bio topics in a patient and personable manner. We really appreciated her help!

Effective & patient tutor

I used to get completely overwhelmed by the dense data and passages in the ACT Science section. Sharon broke down the different question types and showed me how to approach them step-by-step. Her patient teaching style and great strategies gave me the confidence I need for test day.
