I graduated from Nazareth College with a Bachelor of Science degree. Since graduating, I have continued my education and earned my Master of Science degree with a concentration in Nursing Education. My field of work expertise includes emergency and intensive care. I am passionate about teaching and training. I have been a preceptor for graduate nurses and new hire training. I'm a college professor teaching nursing courses and clinical. I completed my doctorate degree August 2022. My favorite teaching subjects are nursing courses. I can adapt my teaching style to the learning style of everyone, as there is no one size fits all to learn. I understand many nursing students' struggles, whether in academia or preparation for the N-CLEX exam. I have struggled through courses and the N-CLEX, and have sought help from tutors. I believe a Standardized Test does and should not define the qualities and skill set that an individual has. Some people are better test-takers than others. I am a firm advocate of education and believe it is necessary for progress in life.

I have a Masters in education and computer science. I have been a teacher, trainer and tutor for over 30 years. I understand that everyone learns differently and at different speeds, so I work hard to make all of my lessons accessible for all students and their needs.

I recently graduated with my Master of Science in Biology degree from SUNY Oneonta where I studied the ecology and physiology of the red backed salamander. I have earned two Bachelor of Science degrees from Nazareth College, one in Biology and the other in Toxicology (think about it like the intersection of Biology and Chemistry). I have previously tutored students in Biology, Chemistry, Algebra, Trigonometry, and Calculus. I love getting to talk with students about how careers in science, specifically ecology are so fascinating - you can be a field researcher studying lizards in Mexico for months of the year, you can play in rivers and steams sampling for water quality, you can SCUBA dive to study an animal few have ever seen, and the list goes on and on!

Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Denise S. Originally from upstate New York,I did my course studies at Nazareth of Rochester. There, I earned a B.S. in Psychology and a M.A. in Special Education. I formally started my teaching career in 1980. As the years went by, I was afforded my opportunities in numerous environments, which allowed me grow in experience, but more importantly, flourish with passion while serving the students and families that I'd encountered. At one point in my career, I seriously considered joining the Peace Corp. In 1987, I was honored by receiving the First Union Teacher of the Year Award from the school district that I worked for. That very same year my daughter was born. That summer, I started tutoring, which has continued through the years. As an active member of our church, I taught Sunday school and volunteered in the nursery. One of the most vivid memories that I cherish was and still is volunteering and participating with my students at the Special Olympics.

I am a kindergarten teacher with the Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools. I have taught lower elementary for 6 years. Teaching is my passion. I believe that all children can learn, no matter their background or challenges. My favorite part of teaching is when a student has finally understood the content, and I can see the excitement in his/her face!

My inspiration to become a teacher stems from the impact that teachers had in my life. I found that I was most successful when teachers treated me as an individual and took an interest in my life and learning style. This philosophy guides me as a teacher. I provide individualized instruction based on a student's strengths and needs. There is no one size fits all approach in education. I have extensive experience teaching science to special education students. I have found that the strategies that make these students successful work for all students. As a classroom teacher, I have worked with students with ranging abilities from kindergarten to twelfth grade. I also have extensive experience working with students on organization, writing skills, and essay development. I thoroughly enjoy the challenges of teaching and watching students thrive and grow as learners.

My teaching philosophy centers around fostering a love for language through interactive and real-world applications, helping students build confidence in their abilities. Outside of tutoring, I am passionate about travel and Italian language and culture, which enriches my approach to language teaching. I am dedicated to helping my students achieve their goals and develop a lifelong appreciation for language learning.

Music is more than just sounds; it's a powerful way to express feelings and connect with others. When we teach music, we're not just teaching notes and rhythms. We're helping students be creative, disciplined, and understanding of different perspectives. Music education is about learning and being inspired, creating well-rounded individuals who appreciate beauty in all its forms. Let's teach music to inspire a love for learning and a passion for creativity in everyone

I understand that writing can be daunting, and I am here to provide the support, structure, and encouragement needed to help you succeed. I tailor each lesson to meet your individual needs and learning style, ensuring that you gain the skills and confidence to tackle any writing challenge.

By getting to know my students on a personal level, I can provide the most effective and personalized help, so you always feel heard and understood. Outside of my academic work, I enjoy traveling, playing basketball, and spending quality time with my 9-month-old son. I believe in balancing life's passions with a commitment to education, and I bring that same energy and enthusiasm into my teaching. If you're looking for a dedicated tutor who will work with you every step of the way and help you reach your academic goals, I would love to work together.

I want to help my students find as much joy in learning the cello and its rich history as much as I do. That includes not only learning about the great composers, players and works, but the more obscure ones as well.

I was a tutor and mentor in the Partners for Learning program, in which I worked with students ranging from kindergarten to sixth grade in the Rochester City School District. I also tutored english for international students through the Center for International Education with an emphasis on grammar, writing, and presentation making. I tutored both biology and anatomy and physiology courses to fellow college students through the Center for Student Success, both in-person and virtually over zoom. I enjoy tutoring biology, anatomy, and english/writing courses. I also took Spanish courses throughout college and received a Seal of Biliteracy after graduating high school.
