About Denise

Bio

Teaching high school is my second career. After working in industry for almost 20 years, I decided to change careers and help young people get as excited as I am over science. I have been teaching for 16 years now. I have enough education credits for a second Masters degree but it is not financially responsible for me to get the degree (I don't get paid more at school so I don't want to spend the money to do this) !

My teaching experience includes working with students that have IEPs...

Teaching high school is my second career. After working in industry for almost 20 years, I decided to change careers and help young people get as excited as I am over science. I have been teaching for 16 years now. I have enough education credits for a second Masters degree but it is not financially responsible for me to get the degree (I don't get paid more at school so I don't want to spend the money to do this) !

My teaching experience includes working with students that have IEPs and learning disabilities all the way through to AP biology students. I love Biology and have taught that class every year since starting teaching. I have also taught Comparative Anatomy, Geophysical Science (general chemistry/physics), Earth and Space Science, and Human Anatomy/Physiology. All high school level.

I am a firm believer in teaching students to the way they learn. I try to include oral, visual, and hands-on exercises so that the student can learn in the way they best understand.

My favorite student to tutor is the struggling student. It is very satisfying to see 'the light bulb go on over the student's head'.

Lastly, regarding standardized tests: I have attended conferences regarding NJ mandated standardized tests. I have proctored more state mandated tests than I prefer to recall. I wanted to note my experience with standardized tests. They are pretty much the same, no matter what the name is or who is administering it!

Biology

Biology

Biology is the study of life, and a core course in your high school curriculum. It focuses on basic to complex concepts which include: matter; energy and organization in living systems; diversity and biological evolution; reproduction and heredity; natural systems and interactions; and human interactions/impact. These concepts will be integrated with the content standards that highlight: Scientific Processes, Science and Society, Mathematical Applications, and the Nature/Process of Technology. High school biology classes are intended to prepare you for the NJBCT Biology Exam which is given in May of each school year. To date, this exam does not "count" - meaning students do not have to pass the test to graduate high school. It is the State of NJ's intention to make the test count eventually.

Great experience with our first session

Denise was patient and helpful during our first tutoring session, and set the groundwork for future sessions. She is working with my daughter on AP Biology. She has a supportive way about her.

Knowledgeable, Easy to Relate and Patient

My daughter had her first Honors Bio lesson with Denise yesterday. We got very lucky - Denise is a kind of tutor one could only wish for - experienced, knowledgeable, patient, kind, with a sense of humor, who truly wants to help students to get better and understand concepts. Denise was very prompt in all communications and made scheduling very easy. I highly recommend her..

Denise met with my daughter twice so far and she is already understanding bio better. My daughter said that she has a better grasp on the lessons that were previously taught in school. Denise is prepared with lesson plans and always gives detailed reviews and suggestions for the next session. I would highly recommend.

Thank you Rob for the positive shout out and I look forward to next tutoring session. Kieron is a great kid!

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Denise did a good job teaching biology to my son. He was having trouble understanding the concepts in depth and she got him to delve deeper into the material.

Robert, 2 lessons with Denise

Great tutor.

My son was very happy to work with Denise, she made him feel comfortable, went over several concepts and answered many of his questions in one hour. She helped him not only to understand concepts better but offered some tips to memorize the most important facts. He feels much more confident and capable of independent study.

Great tutor

Have now used Denise for several biology sessions for my teenage son. Her clarity and patience are impeccable. She instantly made my son feel at ease with her teaching style. We are very pleased.
