"Thank you for reading my profile regarding tutoring your son, daughter, or yourself.

I have 35 years of teaching experience in the Life Sciences, Biology, and Environmental Biology at the Junior High School, High School, and College level. As a recipient of The Presidential Award for Excellence in Science Teaching, I value education and enjoy sharing my knowledge in a clear and concise manner.

I utilize a wide range of visuals and hands-on practical examples to enhance the lesson/subject being taught. The sessions are highly interactive between tutor and student with constant checking for understanding of concepts. Homework assigned after each session reflects rigor and relevancy of the life science concept(s) being presented. This completed document will be assessed at the beginning of the next session. Any concerns will be addressed at that time before continuing with another subject/topic. Students are encouraged to ask questions at any time during the tutoring session.

Each student has individual needs and goals, and I utilize materials that increases success for the Regents, SAT Subject Test, and classroom examinations by making difficult concepts easy to understand. Emphasis is also placed on the organization of a student's classroom notebook, and study skills which can enhance the learning.

Flexibility on time and location can be mutually agreed upon, so everyone's schedule is accommodated. A 24 hour courtesy cancellation notice is required for scheduled tutoring to avoid being charged the hourly rate. Rescheduling tutoring sessions are available when requested. Tutoring sessions can be structured for individual or groups.

I look forward to meeting and helping you achieve the maximum success in the life sciences! Thank for your time." less...
