Specialized Training & Certifications

 

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Training & Certification
I have undergone extensive training in ABA, a science-backed approach to understanding and modifying behavior. This training enables me to craft individualized behavior intervention plans that address the unique needs of each student, whether they are high achievers or face significant learning challenges. My certification and practical experience in ABA underpin my methods, ensuring that all interventions are evidence-based and result-oriented.

Professional Experience

 

I have had the privilege of working in some of the most prestigious educational settings in Massachusetts, where excellence is the standard:

​

• Boston Public Schools / Boston Latin:
  I contributed to the success of the nation’s #1 ranked high school, where high expectations and rigorous standards helped shape some of the most talented young minds.

  Serving in a district ranked #3 in the state, I collaborated with exceptional educators, benefiting from a dynamic and innovative academic environment.

My extensive classroom experience spans a broad spectrum—from traditional public schools to vocational institutions, middle and elementary schools, and even center- and home-based services. This variety has honed my ability to tailor my teaching strategies to meet diverse learning needs.

​

Online Classroom Management & Adaptability

 

During the COVID-19 pandemic, I successfully transitioned to remote learning, managing entire classrooms and delivering individualized instruction through online platforms. This period sharpened my skills in engaging students virtually and demonstrated my adaptability in rapidly changing educational landscapes.

​

Role as a Mentor & Professional Development

 

As one of the few male role models in education, I understand the unique influence a teacher can have, particularly for students lacking strong male figures. This role extends beyond academics; I am committed to mentoring and inspiring confidence in every student.
I am a lifelong learner—consistently updating my skills through conferences, workshops, and ongoing self-study. My collection of recommendation letters and testimonials from parents, educators, and colleagues attest to my commitment and transformative impact on student lives.

​

A Reputation Built on Real Results

 

I stand behind my work with a strong record of measurable achievements. My methods have consistently led to significant score improvements in SAT prep and notable gains in executive functioning and behavioral progress. I am not merely an academic; I am a real educator who has dedicated my career to bridging gaps and building futures.
