About Me
My name is Franklin Ferrara and I am a certified high school science instructor for the past 23 years. I graduated from the College of New Jersey in 1995 with a degree in biology and a minor in chemistry. I was a member of the Tri-Beta Biological Honorary Society and in the college honors program. I earned my Master's Degree in Educational Administration and Science Education from Rutgers University in 2004.
I have taught biology, chemistry, physics, earth science, environmental science, and forensic science. I have tutored students in SAT math, algebra, geometry, algebra 2, trigonometry, pre-calculus, and calculus. I have taught summer school sessions at Peddie for the past eight years.
I won the Merck Scholarship Awards in physics for two students in 2012. I have been involved with bridge-building and robotics throughout my educational career.
I look forward to working with you!
