About Me

Since I could grasp concepts I learned in school, I've always gone out of my way to help my fellow classmate. As I got older, that became formalized tutoring through school organizations and I eventually worked for the New York City Department of Education. There, I helped students with their standardized testing for the state assessments and the SAT. I love teaching math because I feel it's the subject where I can gauge the strength of my students best. Math is such a versatile (though widely-hated) subject, where every unique learning style can always result in the same answer. I also get the most freedom when it comes to designing questions to help students grow and practicing alongside them easily the most fun part of a tutoring session with me. I'm never shy when it comes to tutoring anything else, though, whether it be any sort of history, literature, or government-related topic. My goal as a tutor is not all about teaching anything new to my students, but instead drawing out the skills they already have.

Hobbies & Interests

Though I am a tutor sitting behind a screen, I can barely sit still during my spare time. I love playing and watching sports, with my current obsessions being soccer and tennis. As a Manhattan resident, I always try to explore a new place. I keep a map of places to explore in the city and am the best person to ask for recommendations when you travel into the city. Though I have a license and know how to ride a bike, I always prefer to ride my skateboard whenever I can. I also love reading philosophy and any book remotely related to Greek mythology.
