Fun Facts

I'm a frustrated symphony conductor (sans symphony orchestra) but can conduct my stereo pretty well!

About Me

After 14 years, I recently retired from my second career as a high school science teacher. I was state certified to teach chemistry, biology and physics grades 6-12. My prior career was spent in the food, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries in R&D and senior manufacturing management. I have a Bachelors degree in Chemical Engineering (CCNY) and a Masters in Biochemical Engineering (MIT).

Experience

I tutored many of my science students on a regular basis in order to get them interested and accomplished in science subjects. Based on my industry experience, I bring a practical hands-on ability that allows students to relate scientific principals to the everyday world we live in, making science more relevant to my students.

Approach

Understanding and succeeding in scientific subjects requires that students be provided with alternate approaches to learning and my approach gages which type of presentation will be most effective for each student I encounter.
