I have highly certified in the state of Arizona for the following subjects: Latin,Language Arts, Chemistry and general science. I have been teaching for 9 years.IBM, the computer based company used to have a motto. It was "THINK". My philosophy of teaching is based on a belief that learning needs to be student centered and that students need to be equal partners in the learning process. My role involves using my expertise to put the necessary resources in the hands of the students or more likely to be sure that my students are well equipped to find and evaluate the resources they need to answer their questions. Just like IBM, I want to help develop my students' thinking skills and acquisition of knowledge.My general hobbies are golf and swimming. I am not the best golfer, but I find it fun.

I graduated from Drexel University with a Bachelors in Biomedical Engineering and an MD. I've also done some masters courses in Biomed at Johns Hopkins and taught people from grade school to fellow physicians. I believe that the best knowledge comes from deep understanding of fundamental principles and building things up from there. I lean heavy towards science but am very appreciative of the humanities subjects and am happy to help students with either.

I am a graduate student at Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing pursuing my Master of Science in Nursing. I obtained my BA from Messiah University in Criminal Justice but shortly after graduating in 2016 I enrolled into an EMT certification program and began working on an ambulance in 2017.I quickly found a love for EMS and in 2018 I began working toward obtaining my Paramedic Certification. Since completing my paramedic program, I started working as a NYC Paramedic in the 9-11 system and shortly after I began working as a lab instructor and lecturer for EMT and Paramedic cohorts. I have found a passion for helping students learn, guide them in the right direction to find answers, further their understanding of material, aide in their overall healthcare career development, and ultimately help the students achieve their goals.I believe a crucial part of being a strong member of a healthcare team and work environment is to always continue to learn. I am most passionate about prehospital care in EMS; however, pursuing a career in nursing is opening my eyes to new information and clinical practices that can be utilized to perfect my craft no matter what role I work one day.

I am a rising junior at Johns Hopkins University double majoring in Molecular and Cellular Biology and the History of Science and Technology. It has always been a passion of mine to explore the details of science. Within these details, my curiosity engages me to pry and ask more questions. One of the ways I am able to do this is at my lab at Hopkins where I do research and design experiments on the neuronal membrane proteasome. Tutoring allows me to spread my passion for biology and chemistry, while also challenging my scientific knowledge. I encourage students to ask questions, will teach them how to apply their knowledge, and emphasize why an answer is correct. Getting the correct answer is not as important as understanding the fundamentals as to how someone arrives at that answer. I have previous experience teaching science through leading study groups at college and teaching high schoolers at my previous lab the fundamentals of biology, experimentation, and laboratory techniques. Outside of classwork, I have played saxophone for 11 years, enjoy running, and am a big New York sports fan.

We should better the world by sharing knowledge, not hoarding it. In high school, tutors taught me not only how to tackle the SAT but how to tackle future college courses and intellectual challenges.
