About Me

I am a graduate of Wayne State University, Detroit, MI. I got my MA degree in Biological Sciences in May 2000 . My major focus was on cell and molecular biology. My GPA was 3.86. During my graduate program I worked as a Graduate Teaching Assistant from Jan1998 to May 2000 conducting lab sections for undergraduate students. I was responsible for the lab sections in Anatomy and Physiology, Vertebrate Embryology and Histology. I administered quizzes and graded tests and exams. I encouraged feedback from my students about the subject matter being taught by encouraging them to ask questions and make suggestions. Prior to this I was a lecturer in KMH Medical College in India from August 1994 to June 1995. I delivered classroom lectures, administered quizzes and assigned grades. After that I worked as a Biomedical Researcher for several years at eminent research institutes like University of Cincinnati and Cincinnati Childrens Hospital. I am also the mother of a 14 year old nonverbal autistic son with whom I have worked extensively to help develop communication and academic excellence. Currently he attends the general education class in the 8th grade of our public school. Sine working with my son I have realized that every individual has a unique style of learning. Each student absorbs and processes information differently. I have learned how to adapt my teaching style to match the student's needs by coming up with creative approaches that involve thinking outside the box. Currently I am working as a paraprofessional in an elementary school. I provide 1:1 or small group tutoring to several students with learning disabilities like ADHD, Autism etc. In doing this, I have found that every child has an inherent desire to learn and a natural curiosity. My role is simply to light the spark and send them on a journey to enhance their learning. I tutor a variety of subjects like Reading, Math, Social Studies, Science etc. However, my most favorite subject is biology and biomedical science. In my spare time I enjoy reading poems, watching movies and spending time outdoors.
