"My work with public health has taken me all over the world from Harlem, New York to Gulu, Uganda, and I hope to continue pursuing my passion for global health in my future career and medical studies. In my spare time, I like to read, do yoga, and explore all the wonders of New York City.

I hope to teach an appreciation for a subject, as well as a mastery of its ...

" I am presently enrolled at Queens College to receive my teaching certification for Secondary and Special Education in Social Studies. Although history is my passion, I am well versed in English, Biology and served as a TA for Calculus my freshman year of college. I find that each student learns at a different capacity, so my teaching style is to first be aware of the material trying to be better understood. Then finding the correlation of the students interests and strengths in order to best relate the material we would be working with." ...

"I've since tutored most high school, college, and graduate school entrance exams. I've worked with students of all ages on grade-level studies in math, science, the humanities and foreign languages. Students at top high schools like Stuyvesant and Brooklyn Tech are especially engaging to work with, due to the challenging nature of the material and the lively mind of the student.
In addition to my own tutoring practice, I've also been director of a non-profit tutoring center."

"Writing is what I do, and I am especially well-trained when it comes to writing the academic essay. I treat tutoring the same way I treat directing actors: there is no one-size-fits-all approach, so I've learned to identify the specific strategies that will work for each person in order to guide them on the path to success. In my spare time, I read, see plays, watch movies, and perform improv comedy.."
