About Savita

I earned my B.S. in Biology from Stony Brook University and graduated with over 25 accolades for scholarship and dedication. I have over four and one half years of teaching experience; most of which were gained from many teaching practicums in my undergraduate career. I earned my B.S. in Biology from Stony Brook University and graduated with over 25 accolades for scholarship, leadership, community service, and dedication. My teaching background resulted from over four and one years of work experience. As an Educator for Bright Learning Academy, I frequently consolidate complex information into concise, palatable bits of information to help others succeed. I customize and modify lesson plans as per my student’s learning needs, styles, and interests. Thus far, students with and without learning disabilities have improved one grade level in reading comprehension in one week, and from C’s to A’s in challenging science and math coursework from elementary school to college. Students have responded immediately to specialized curricula by showing increased understanding, application, and retention of multiple concepts introduced in an hour session. Additionally, I incorporated great customer service skills. I enjoyed serving as an Instructor and Teaching Assistant for Adapted Aquatics to Individuals with Disabilities because I applied my broad knowledge base, fluent moderate conversational Spanish to relate to others, good communication skills, and creatively motivated others.
