About Irene

Bio

I've always enjoyed one-on-one work with students, since this best allows me to pinpoint and address the student's areas of confusion. Every learner is different and I believe it's important for tutors to identify and adapt to the learning styles of their students. I aim to be flexible and creative; since we live in a physical world, I like to use familiar phenomena as examples to discuss physics and astronomy concepts.

I've always enjoyed one-on-one work with students, since this best allows me to pinpoint and address the student's areas of confusion. Every learner is different and I believe it's important for tutors to identify and adapt to the learning styles of their students. I aim to be flexible and creative; since we live in a physical world, I like to use familiar phenomena as examples to discuss physics and astronomy concepts.

I have 13 years of experience teaching in both formal and informal education, and have frequently tutored math and physics for high school and college students. I've taught pre-K through graduate level courses and workshops, primarily physics, astronomy, and math. For over four years I worked at a world-renowned institution, sharing my passion for astronomy with self-selected middle and high school students from all over NYC.

Elementary Science

I have a bachelor's degree in physics, and have taught physics and astronomy to people of all ages in informal settings. In my work with the Physics Factory, I demonstrated and explained physics concepts to group of elementary students. At Vega-Bray Observatory and multiple planetaria, I've taught astronomy to families with young children. As an Astrophysics Educator at the American Museum of Natural History I taught interactive, activity-based workshops in astrophysics and planetary science for elementary students and their parents.

I've been working in astronomy education and public outreach for 15 years. I have worked for seven years, in New York and Arizona, as an amateur astronomer, showing the night sky to public and private groups through telescopes, binoculars, and with the unaided eye. I've operated and printed in multiple planetariums, and currently am a presenter at a Planetarium at a Museum of Natural History. I was also an Astrophysics Educator for 4.5 years, teaching astronomy to students, pre-K through high school. I currently am an active sidewalk astronomer, lead viewing sessions in local parks, and continue to teach astronomy for after-school programs.

Physics

My son had negative attitude about how he couldn't learn online. This tutor was awesome. When he was done with tutoring he stated she was really good. He said when she saw he was little confused, she gave different example to make him understand.

Jovanna, 3 lessons with Irene

Smart, relatable and helpful tutor

Irene was great. We sent her some general information about the specific areas that needed to be addressed before our first session, and it was clear that Irene understood the material and was ready to help. In a very short time, she brought my daughter up to speed on the material she needed. Highly recommend.

Talia, 2 lessons with Irene

Hire her!

Irene definitely improved my son's performance in Physics. She is knowledgeable and reliable.

Michael, 8 lessons with Irene

Excellent!

Irene was perfect. I learned just about everything I needed to know for my astronomy exam in a mere two hours. I highly recommend her!
