NP Tutoring
About
I bring personalized lesson plans to students based on their learning strengths. I am a Pennsylvania Certified secondary science teacher with a MA in Science Education from Duquesne University as a Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellow. I am qualified to teach Biology, including all of its subsets (I.e. life science, anatomy, biochemistry, etc.).
I enjoy helping students accomplish their goals by providing advanced content to challenge students. It is important to meet students where they are at, to learn about their strengths and weakness. I enjoy embracing students' strengths in the classroom. It helps to build their confidence in the learning process and in life. Teaching is fulfilling. It has allowed me to see students succeed and the incredible impact education has in the world.
