Award-Winning Tutors from CUNY City College

I take pleasure in helping students bridge the gap between the known and the unknown.

I am a certified (NY and MA), retired science teacher willing to tutor you, or your son or daughter in IB Chemistry, HS Chemistry, AP Chemistry, SAT Chemistry and/or ACT Science. I taught for 45 years and I have not lost my knack for motivating, encouraging, and helping students. Chemistry, in particular, with a Periodic Table of Elements, balanced chemical equations, moles, stoichiometry and electrochemistry involve a morass of numbers that I can readily explain. I have resided in SE North Carolina for 12 years now and have tutored chemistry students at UNC at Wilmington in CHEM 101. Both students successfully improved their average and achieved Final Grades of B+. One high school student was only a freshman enrolled in Honors Chemistry, and she achieved her goal for the course, an A. Another high school student, a Junior, was very bright who had difficulty understanding her teacher. We worked together for 6 months with immeasurable success. I am passionate about Chemistry and how it affects our everyday lives, e.g. the Cape Fear River water contamination. I have a wealth of knowledge and experience to help you. I promise you complete satisfaction if you hire me. I look forward to hearing from you. "When words are both true and kind, they can change the world" (Buddha)

Hi there! My name is Zach. I'm a PhD at Harvard studying German philosophy and classics (Greek and Latin). Next year, I will be starting law school to pursue my professional passion, tax law. I am deeply committed to the language and LSAT skills I've developed and I love to tutor students of all levels in these subjects. I can't imagine a life without teaching. My favorite part of teaching is helping students come to love -- or at least appreciate -- the details that make up complex subject matters. My favorite moment with any student is when the student realizes how fascinating a subject matter is after really mastering all of the "dry" details. When my students start internalizing the LSAT or languages I am teaching them, I know I am doing my job.I graduate summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from CUNY Macaulay Honors College in New York City, and started teaching undergraduate and graduate classes during my last year there. At Harvard, I have earned the Derek Bok Certificate for Excellence in Teaching three separate times. I have taught students as young as 14 and as old as 85.German: I studied abroad in Osnabrck, Lower Saxony and Berlin, where I earned my C2 certificate (near-native proficiency) in German. While in Germany, I took classes, taught in German, on Greek and Latin philology. I have taught beginning, intermediate, and advanced German at both regular and intensive paces at Harvard and CUNY.Greek and Latin: I am standing faculty at the Greek/Latin Institute, a famously intensive classical languages boot camp in New York City. I have taught students from all around the world and at all ages there. I have also taken all of the most advanced Greek and Latin coursework at Harvard.I studied comparative literature (French, Italian, and English) as an undergrad alongside my studies of classics. For my masters degree, I had to pass a three-part exam at Harvard on the history of German literature. My knowledge of literature is broad and deep!I earned a 174 on the LSAT (99th percentile).Ready to get to work and dive into the weeds? Want to know more about what working together would look like? I would love to hear from you.

I graduated from Widener University in the spring of 2018. I received my Bachelor of Science in Physics with minors in Mathematics and Mechanical Engineering. As an undergrad I worked as a math tutor through Widener University's Department of Mathematics. I also tutored several chemistry, physics, and engineering courses. I will be starting a master's program in physics at the City College of New York this fall.

Whenever someone is struggling with a difficult problem or topic in mathematics, there is a good chance that he or she is not being taught properly. To resolve this, I break down the material and create simple examples. With these simple examples, the student and I work our way back to the "difficult" problem. So many concepts and topics in various math courses can be learned in this way; from my experience, this process works for many students.I am currently a senior pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering at the City College of New York. Here, I have strengthened my skills in Mathematics, as I have taken courses ranging from Calculus 1 to Numerical Methods. Although these courses are highly advanced math courses, they all rely on concepts from preliminary courses such as Algebra and Geometry, which is why I was able to tutor a myriad of math courses when working as a member of the City Tutors.I enjoy the Legend of Zelda, which is a video game series that forces the player to pay attention to patterns and to figure out puzzles given small hints. In my opinion, Mathematics is similar-although a student may practice a group of problems, he or she finds that all of them share the same concepts and patterns.

My teaching interests include reading comprehension, social studies, science. I have created some great test taking strategies for students of all ages and abilities.As a Special Education Teacher I understand the many challenges that a student will face when having difficulty with a particular skill or a subject that they are learning for the first time.I really enjoy seeing my students reach their potential both in and out of the classroom environment.

My name is Uzair, I graduated from The City College of New York with honors in Biochemistry. I have been tutoring for over 2 years in biochemistry/chemistry/biology/STEM both for a chemical society and as a recitation leader, thus I have a great understanding of the nuances of learning biochemistry/chemistry/biology. During these two year I did both one on one tutoring and group sessions, In both I used question from textbooks to help students learn concepts. I would go through a question step by step, but also addressing multiple other ways to answer questions. I really do believe that any student can learn biochemistry/chemistry/biology /STEM if their hearts in it. I can help reach your full potential with work hard and great study skills. I primarily tutor college kids in science (physics and chemistry), but I have also tutored high school level math and science for a non-profit in the NYC, so I have worked with all ages and all skill levels. More specifically these high school kids often come from school that do not have adequate resources to help these kids become successful in STEM courses. Thus, I have to become clever in the way I relay topics to them.When teaching, my focus will be on relaying the concept the student in a very simplistic manner and then increase their understanding with detail on that particular concept. Also if possible I'll give practice problems for them to do as homework and then go over the difficult ones during the lesson. I believe if you can do the hard stuff the easy/medium difficulty questions are a breeze. We all know and science require practice and patience and hopefully I can do that with you or your child.FLEXIBLE HOURSI have availability both weekends and evenings during the week. I am happy to work with you or your student to find a time that works best.

I am a medical student in the US. I graduated from City College of New York, with a dual-Bachelor's degree for Biology and Psychology.

I am a mechanical engineering student who will graduate from The City College of New York this December. I hope to pursue a career in the energy industry once I graduate. I believe that this industry is the key in helping improve our environment for future generations and I hope to be involved in its effort to expand technologies in renewable energy.As an engineering student, I learned that knowing the right answer is not necessarily the most important thing. It is more important to learn how to solve a problem. When I encounter a problem that seems impossible, instead of simply giving up, I go back to my basics. Instead of focusing on what I do not know, I look at what information is given to me. I also look at the problem from a different angle to see if it is another way to solve the problem.I hope to teach students that despite how challenging a problem may appear, they shouldn't feel discouraged. They should know that there is always a way to solve it.

I am Biomedical engineering undergraduate in my senior year at City College of New York (CCNY). As a biomedical engineering student, I have expertise in science and mathematic courses. I have an extensive teaching experience of over 8 years. I have tutored physics, chemistry, biology, and maths to college students for three years. I also have experience in tutoring science and mathematics to high school students and lower grades. All my students love me because as a student, I understand the struggle of students and make them feel like I am one of their own. Through real life examples, illustrations, and humor, I make my teaching more intuitive and entertaining for my students. During my college tutoring I had experiences where students said they will take specific courses only if I tutor them those courses.Throughout my tutoring experience, physics has been my most favorite subject. Many college students fear physics which gives me a challenge to make it interesting as well as easy for them. Biology, chemistry, and math are my second favorite subjects because I use them every day in our Cardiovascular Research Lab at CCNY. Like any students, engineering students have to deal with lot of stress on daily basis. To get over these stresses, I watch TV shows, do light workouts, and try a variety of restaurants.

I consider myself an interactive yet patient tutor who will adapt to each student's needs and pace. I am eager to help students of all ages improve their language skills in Spanish, English and French!

I am a second year in the Sophie Davis Program for Biomedical Education. I hold an Associates Degree from Bard College, which I obtained while still in high school. As a pre-medical student, I have a deep love for the sciences but I also love learning new things. My favorite subject to tutor would be Spanish but I am also proficient in English, Writing, Biology, and Algebra. I have been tutoring for four years and have experience tutoring elementary to high school students. I believe that when tutoring I should allow students to explain their confusion so that we can work together towards the advancement of their knowledge. Just lecturing or telling you the answer isn't enough! Outside of school, I love cooking, exercising, reading, doing research, and volunteering.

As a bilingual teacher for students with disabilities, I believe that I can make a great impact on their lives by using techniques that can only achieve confidence and create hope in them in order to learn new skills. It is important that students trust and know that educators care about them and can connect with students by learning about their customs and culture. This will allow students to become more comfortable with learning a new language and not give up when mistakes are made.Most of the students that come to my class have multiple disabilities and they do not speak or understand the English language. At times this affects their behavior because they refuse to learn the language either because they are embarrassed for making mistakes or they do not understand the importance of the learning the language for their professional life. As an educator, my responsibility is to connect with them and show them that it is okay to make mistakes because that is how they will learn and achieve success. Teachers need to always improve their teaching techniques and be open to learn from students because what might be work for one student may not work for the other student. It would be an honor to become part of Varsity Tutors.

I have a Master degree in English and am licensed in K-12 to teach ESL. My specialty includes helping children develop their vocabulary, grammar, and sentence structure. I have 10 years of experiences working with elementary students and 2 years tutoring English to students of all ages.

I graduated from CUNY New York City College of Technology with a B. Tech and later went on to receive a Masters in Human Resources and Adult Education. I am passionate about helping people of all ages uncover their own ways of learning. I believe that everyone can learn with the right level of support and care. I have spent the last 20 years coaching, teaching or tutoring people on time management, work management, overcoming procrastination, learning new tools and learning to communicate more effectively. I'm a problem solver by nature, so even if you don't know exactly what you need, I can help you figure that out!

Hello everyone! I am a current third year medical student who is pursuing a medical career today thanks to a few very special mentors in my academic life. My goal as a tutor is to instill in my students an excitement for learning that encourages them to reach higher goals on their own. I believe math is the gateway subject that allows students to build confidence and tackle virtually every other subject. I also love learning and speaking new languages, which is a cultural window to a world of people that we were never privy to before. I would like to pass this love of languages on to my students as well.

Hi there! I'm a data-driven problem solver with a background in analytics, logistics and finance operations, and I enjoy helping students build confidence working with Excel, data, and structured thinking. Whether you're learning the basics or trying to make sense of complex datasets, I focus on making things feel practical, clear, and actually usable, not just theoretical. What makes my approach different is that I use Excel the same way it's used in real business environments: managing large datasets, solving problems, and improving workflows. I can help you go from core formulas and data organization all the way to advanced tools like PivotTables, Power Query, and building clean, structured reports and dashboards. Beyond Excel, I help students develop stronger analytical thinkinglearning how to break down problems, identify patterns, and approach solutions step by step. A lot of students don't struggle because things are too hard, but because they haven't been shown a simple way

Hi, I'm Tara! I am an undergraduate student at the Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education where I am studying to become a physician. I love math and am willing to help any student with any problem. I have tutored students (from elementary school all the way to senior year of college) for a copious amount of years. My goal is for the students to grasp a good understanding of the subjects that they seek help for, and to be successful with their future endeavors.Besides from learning, I also enjoy music, performing, and languages! I play 3 instruments (violin, guitar and the uke) and have performed in theatrical shows for 5 years. I also have an interest in languages and am minoring in french!I hope we can work together and learn some math!

I am a current civil engineering student at City College focusing on environmental engineering. I am a hard working and patient tutor who works with students from elementary to high school. I tutor all english related subjects as well as algebra 1. I have previous experience working at Khan's Tutorial as well as Child Center of NY.

Growing up, in my opinion, is the most important part of adolescence. I grew up in a household where my mom, a single parent working many hours to make ends meet was out of the house a lot. As the oldest child I learned to start preparing dinner on the days that my mom didnt have time to. I set a good example for my sisters. I enforced rules such as bedtimes and I took the mantle and achieved the responsibility of the leadership position in my mothers absence. I did extracurricular activities and sports such as track & field and afterschool clubs. But towards sophomore year, my involvement in afterschool activities decreased, my mom got a new job with a different schedule that required me to pick up my sisters from school every day.I think that I had to grow up a little earlier than most kids around my age. Not many people that I know have grew up in the same circumstances that I did. I believe that this experience has and is continuing to make me grow into a more mature person with good character and strong leadership skills such as patience, determination, perseverance and self-sacrifice. I learned that there is a time and place for everything, which especially pertains to balancing schoolwork, social life and responsibilities. Many people especially my mother and sisters have too much reliance on me for something like that to be an option. Though my mother is everything for us and we would literally have nothing if it werent for her, there are even times when she says to me, where would we be without you, or youve helped me so much, I cant imagine how we would have had ended up without you.

Hi, I am currently a 3rd year Ph.D. student in Mathematical Modeling in NY. I have a B.S in pure mathematics and a M.S in Applied and Computational Math. My friends say that they love my energy. I enjoy what I do or play and those things are mathematics and soccer.

I am a young educator who seeks to blend both creativity and structure into an effective teaching practice. I work to inspire children and adolescents to explore what they are taught and to find meaning through the literature they read. I try to mold my teaching styles and strategies around the students I interact with to make them feel comfortable in our shared learning environment so that they can get the most out of our time together.

Hello, my name is Ayana and I currently work as an ESL teacher at a high school in Queens. I work in mixed content classes so I am not solely experienced in teaching children the English language but the subject of English as well. I also have a background in French. I love children of all ages and I am certified by NYC DOE to teach K-12. I am currently attending City College to get my Masters in Education. I would be seeking work for the summer months. That was a mouthful, message me if you have any questions!

I am a graduate student at City College where I am getting certified to teach ENL and 7-12 Math. I love working with students of all ages, and from a multitude of backgrounds. A few years ago, I lived in Istanbul, Turkey for a year and taught math & English to 1st and 2nd grade students. In my spare time I also tutored younger students and adults. I currently tutor a range of students from kindergarten to adults in math & reading and love tutoring more and more everyday. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, hiking, swimming, cooking and traveling.

I currently maintain a strong GPA while taking part in several activities. I got the opportunity to take part in a Biology and Biochemistry research lab, as well as become a Research Associate at Brooklyn Hospital. I am currently a member of the Alpha Epsilon Honors Society, and a Collegiate Health Service Corps Fellow. Secondly, I am a Peer Mentor for incoming biology students. I also became the treasurer of the Medical Roots Project, which is a nonprofit organization that focuses on the underserved population by providing pop-up clinics. Moreover, I am part of a major African Dance group called TRYBE. For a form of income, I began tutoring in math and chemistry. Lastly, I recently began working as a Pharmacy Technician. I take pride in educating individuals from different communities and I hope to dismantle the barriers that prevent students from receiving the best education possible.

I passionately teach to make an exceptional difference in my students' lives. My 15 years of teaching experience with a diverse population of all ages and levels in English and Spanish enables me to make success attainable for each student. My tutoring sessions are tailored to fit each individual's needs and goals. I enjoy planning and implementing content-based, result-oriented, engaging instruction by blending creative arts and disciplines that inspire each student to learn, grow and achieve.

I am currently a creative writing major at The City College of New York (CCNY) and an aspiring poet, novelist, and playwright.I graduated from the College of Southern Nevada (CSN) with an Associate of Arts in Creative Writing with High Honors, and while earning my degree, I was the Vice President of CSN's Creative Writing Club and part of their editorial board for their literary and visual arts journal: Neon Dreams. I am also the winner of Steiner's Emerging Voices Scholarship for poetry and Neon Dreams' Monthly Writing Contest for poetry at CSN and the Goodman Fund Poetry Award at CCNY.Before earning my degree at CSN, I tutored students in English and math for the "No Child Left Behind" act which, in fact, had inspired me to go back to school and receive a formal education. Reading and writing are my passions, and I believe that anyone can find the joys of learning with the right attitude and proper motivation which is why I decided to get back into tutoring students.Apart from academia, I enjoy reading and writing (of course), listening to music, watching Broadway musicals and plays, exploring the city and, occasionally, revisiting old video games from my childhood.

I have ample experience both as an adjunct and math tutor. I am comfortable teaching classes of up to 40 students down to tutoring a single student. My aim is not only to help students understand mathematics mechanically but also conceptually. I look for opportunities to connect a mathematical concept to something we use in our every day life.I have a Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics from CUNY city college, an M.A in Statistics from CUNY Hunter college, and an M.S in Data Science from CUNY School of Professional Studies. During the day, I am a full time Data Scientist working in one of the largest companies in the world.

My love for English began in my childhood reading Tony Hillerman, R.L. Stine, and Mary Higgins Clark. At the High School of Fashion Industries, my English class read Macbeth - "You should be women, and yet your beards forbid me to interpret that you are so..." My English teacher, Dr. Bobo, would call me to read with her, and we intertwined together like in a dance. No other student reached my enthusiasm. I am a graduate of Hunter College. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Film and English. I also graduated from City College with an M.S. in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). After graduation, I began to teach ESL as an Adjunct Instructor in Canal Street. Languages are amazing because they are pieces (letters, sound, words) that students need to put together to use in practice. I love teaching pronunciation, reading, writing, and listening. With students, I am patient and answer all their questions. To have fun, I use games, you tube, songs, and movies. Learning English or improving someone's English definitely improves a student's quality of life in America.

I am a recent graduate of the Teachers College, Columbia University, Technology Specialist K-12 program. Technology Specialists are trained to couple digital devices and applications with curriculum to facilitate learning transfer and boost student collaboration. While studying for my degree, I completed three hundred hours of student teaching and observation in public, private, elementary and high schools in districts throughout New York City. This experience fortified the ideology that utilizing virtual software diminishes didacticism, encourages student engagement and creates highly interactive learning environments.Prior to attending Teachers College, I obtained a Master of Science degree from Full Sail University, as an Innovation and Entrepreneurship major. This field of study provides students who wish to build start-up companies in the technology field with all the skills required to do so. The culmination of my studies resulted in the construction of a web-based, media company that coalesces viewers from around the world, in order to foster the transfer of socio-cultural awareness.My initial introduction to the classroom occurred upon graduating from the City College of New York. I was offered a permanent position as a third grade assistant teacher at the Ralph Bunch Elementary School in Harlem. There, I assisted students in lesson comprehension by reiterating classroom subject matter in small groups of three to five students. As well, by implementing innovative learning strategies, I helped the lead teacher propel our students well past expectations.As a Varsity Tutor, I am best suited to help elementary and middle school students strengthen their reading, comprehension and writing skills. I have a myriad of fun and interactive, virtual applications at my disposal that are designed to significantly increase students' reading fluency and understanding, as well as their writing ability.

While going to college I always had an interest in science and math. I enjoy imparting the Math and science knowledge to students who did not understand the subject as well as I did. I got a job as a tutor during my first year in college and have continued to tutor because I realized that I loved tutoring and I like to help people achieve their goals.Over the years while working in various capacities such as a network engineer, a process engineer and an environmental engineer I always tried to devote time to helping students. I tutored high school students, college students and adult learners. I feel a sense of accomplishment when my students do well in the subject area that we are working on together.

20+ Years of Expertise: Certified Teacher for K through College English, Elementary Math & ADHD Support Stuck with a writing assignment? Analyzing Shakespeare? College essays looming?

I've been an English and reading teacher for over 20 years and love working with students of all ages from kindergarteners to college students and adult learners. As a certified teacher across all grade levels, I know exactly where your student is now and where they need to go next. I have a true passion for helping students with ADHD, knowing firsthand that traditional methods don't work for every brain. I break down reading, writing, and math into clear, manageable steps to eliminate frustration. Beyond schoolwork, I help students build routines to tackle executive functioning challenges like time management, organization, and focus to make learning stress-free and successful.

I started my career attending a military high school in Nigeria where I learned basic discipline such as being timely, planning my schedule, and leadership skills. I then proceeded to a 6th form school where I obtained an Advanced Level Certificate in chemistry, mathematics, and physics from the Cambridge university examination board in Nigeria. After my 6th form education, I moved to New York and started college at BMCC. I spent about three semesters at BMCC then I transferred to City College where I intend to obtain a bachelors degree in bio-medical engineering. My future aspiration after my BSC is to go to graduate school for my masters and PHD at Princeton University. I also intend to join the United States Army where I plan to practice my bio-medical profession by helping the disabled veterans. I took particular interest in math back in Nigeria where I tutored students preparing them for their GED exam. I also volunteered with New York Cares (NYC), and I tutored in projects like computer training for adult and math games for middle and junior school students. Volunteering at NYC helped improve my teaching skills and expose me to knowing how and why students are scared of math. My approach to tutoring has basically been student dependent where I work at the student's pace and ensure accurate learning in my teaching sessions. Also I make math feel like its alive by using life examples and approach. I love playing soccer and watching movies at my free time.

I graduated Summa Cum Laude with Bachelors in Electrical Engineering in 2013. I’ve also received Department Honors for Academic Excellence in Mathematics from the Chairman of the Math Department. I’ve attained many other accolades that I am truly thankful for.Teaching has always been my one true passion. I have over seven years of tutoring experience, in the US and overseas. So, my multilingual and multicultural background helps me cross such barriers and connect with students better. Due to my vast experience, I’ve developed sophisticated communication techniques and understanding of students’ psychology that helps me pinpoint and help overcome the academic weaknesses with swift precision.I think it’s more important to lead students to the answer rather than simply delivering it. This instills the logic behind the answer and the process, and helps them think independently and analytically. Where appropriate, I employ the Suzuki method and have found that to be very effective.I mostly tutor math, reading, and writing courses. I am very experienced with test preparation subjects such as SSAT/SAT and ACT. Please see my profile for a full list of subjects.In my leisure, I like to dabble in music. I’ve studied Music Theory in my early years, and I play multiple musical instruments, including the piano. Music still remains a creative outlet for me.I also strongly believe in giving back to society and setting a good example, so I actively partake in philanthropic endeavors. Currently, I serve as a Board Member of the United Nations Association in Miami.

I graduated from CUNY City College’s Biochemistry program with honors in liberal arts and science research. As a freshman, I began workshop leading in Introductory Chemistry courses and, soon thereafter, progressed to Organic, Quantitative and Thermodynamic Chemistry.I enjoyed my interaction with the students so much that, after graduating, I decided to adjunct lecture at a community college. There, I welcomed the exciting challenge of engaging adult learners in an introductory biology course with labs. Recently, I have garnered some extensive private experience tutoring middle to high-school age students in Algebra, Geometry, ELA, Chemistry and Biology, as an independent contractor for a couple of companies.I look forward to working with you to achieve the success to which you aspire and are capable!

Hello Scholars and dedicated parents of scholars! My name is Whitney and I am a full time English tutor. I taught AP Language and Composition for 3 years, English III for 2 years, Composition I (for college credit) English IV for one year. I have my Bachelors in English with a concentration in literature from CUNY City College and I'm currently working on a Master of Arts Degree in Creative Writing and Literature at Harvard. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and writing, cooking, and taking my rambunctious pup to the park. When I was in 11th grade, I struggled so much in English class so I know what it's like. I look forward to being able to help you reach your ELA goals!

As a tutor with over 5 years of experience, I am passionate about helping students navigate the complexities of Mechanical Engineering. Holding a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the City University of New York and a Master's in Global Environmental Policy and Management, I blend technical knowledge with a broader understanding of environmental impacts. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to ask questions and explore concepts deeply. I utilize hands-on problem-solving techniques and real-world applications to make learning engaging and relevant. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring sustainable technologies, which continually fuels my enthusiasm for teaching and inspires my students to think critically about their future contributions to the field.

I have been an educator for 10 years in both the NYC and Miami metropolitan areas and can honestly say I love what I do. After graduating from NYU as an undergraduate, I received my master's degree in education from CUNY City College as I knew from a young age that I wanted to pursue a career in education. With many years of experience in and out of the classroom, I have seen firsthand how students learn differently and how important it is to meet each student where they are at. Most importantly, learning should be fun and I love to use music and art as tools to make any lesson more engaging. I am patient and understanding and will always make sure to listen to every question asked. My goal is to ensure that you feel confident and comfortable with the material at hand and will not continue on with any instruction until we are on the same page. I truly believe that all questions are great questions and I welcome all curious and inquisitive minds! I look forward to meeting you!

After graduating in 2011 from the City College of New York, I worked as a consultant for Dr. Dewey who then recruited me from Brookhaven National Lab to the Feinstein institutes for Medical Research. That year, I entered the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell, and joined the inaugural class as one of three PhD students of the new medical school.My dissertation project interrogated pre-clinical sex differences in the metabolic neural patterns associated with opioid pain management using18-fludeoxyglucose (18FDG) and micro positron emission tomography (MicroPET). I was able to show that distinct metabolic patterns of pain were sex-specific, and confirmed that an animal model could be useful in revealing distinct metabolic indicators of opioid withdrawal and improve the efficacy of therapeutic intervention.As a Research Scientist at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, I oversee operations of the MicroPET imaging facility as part of the Center for Neurosciences. I have recentl studies include studies of the extracellular cold-inducible RNA-binding protein, (CIRP-/-) and wild type (WT) mice, before and after exposure to binge-alcohol levels. By quantifying glucose metabolism with 18FDG and MicroPET, and using brain-mapping analysis of the imaging data, we can determine if CIRP plays a role in alcohol-induced cognitive impairment. I have served as mentor to many undergraduate and some high school students, and very much enjoy sharing my knowledge base with those that enjoy science.

I graduated from CUNY City College with a major in Biomedical Engineering and a minor in Mathematics. I have vast research experience in the fields of Biomedical Imaging, Neuroimaging, and Biotechnology. I have worked in places such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Lincoln Labs, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, National Institute of Health (NIH) Clinical Center, Columbia University Medical Center, and Nathan Kline Institute of Psychiatric Research conducting research. Through this research, I have published 6 journals article publication and one report. I also plan to start my Ph.D. in Medical Physics at the University of Wisconsin Madison later this year. I am also currently working as an Assistant Research Scientist at New York University (NYU) teaching pre-college prep courses to incoming College students (High school students). The courses I teach in this varsity tutors platform are Biomedical engineering, College Physics, College Math, Engineering, Computer Programing, Programing Languages, Math, Physics, Python, Science, and Technology and Coding. I like to teach courses by trying to find real-world applications of the theory taught in classes. I also ask students if they have any problems they want to go over together to bring them before to the session beforehand.
