"This quote by Gandhiji reflects the way my life is lived and the personality developed by living this lifestyle. Reflecting on my educational experiences, I appreciate the immeasurable impact that teachers make on the lives of their students.I also realize that the skills and knowledge acquired in the classroom, will be used by students throughout their lives.

"I'm in New York studying theater and voice but miss my science classes and students like crazy! I'm particularly strong in biology but also totally comfortable with chemistry, English and writing, social studies/history, and test prep. As a teacher my style is to help students discover the answers on their own, and become more confident in their ability to use critical thinking. When I'm not tutoring you can find me running or playing with my mutt Franklin!."
