Hello, I'm Drew! I live in Buffalo, New York. The main subjects I teach are ESL, Biology, History, Earth Science, Math, and English. I graduated as valedictorian of my high school class, and in college I graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor's degree in Environmental Geosciences, and a minor in Geological Sciences. I have also completed a 168 hour TEFL certification for ESL teaching, which has provided me with extensive professional teaching knowledge and experience. I have always had an excellent work ethic and organizational system for succeeding in school, which I can help pass on to any student.

I grew up as the second oldest in a family of seven, and always helped tutor my siblings in all subjects. My educational background in environmental geosciences and geological sciences has provided me with sufficient knowledge in general biology and chemistry, as well as biological and earth sciences. After graduating from college, I got my current job as an online ESL tutor, teaching English to Chinese children ages four to 12. Not only has this job given me valuable teaching experience, I also now feel comfortable evaluating students, providing feedback, and actively changing my methodology to fit their learning needs. Working for the UB STEP Summer Program, I was responsible for planning my own lessons in Earth Science. Because of personal hobbies, I am also very knowledgable in History and English, and I also feel comfortable teaching Math. Read less

I am incredibly patient, and will never get frustrated or snap at a student. I am also very nurturing. I have a very hands-on teaching method, and I really like to talk things out with students. Of course, not everyone learns the same way, and I am very quick to figure out how a student learns, and adapt my teaching style to fit their learning style. I am very vocabulary-focused, and love to use real world examples. I also like to incorporate games and activities to keep lessons fun and engaging Read less
