...in trivia and the anecdotal in history and language. I believe first and foremost that education rewards those with intellectual curiosity and that the goal of any educator should be to foster and encourage the desire to learn. I emphasize positive reinforcement and strongly believe that tests are designed to test what students do know rather than punish them for what they do not. In my spare time, I enjoy painting, running, and film.

During my free time, I enjoy staying active, playing golf, swimming, running, and playing tennis. I love exploring new activities and neighborhoods in the NYC area.

I am a graduate of a NESCAC liberal arts school, and currently, I work as a research assistant for a genetics lab. I have tutored many students and peers from a wide range of backgrounds. I primarily teach middle and high school students, but I minored in mathematics and was a TA for my college's math, biochemistry, and philosophy departments. I love helping others, meaning that you've come to the right place. We can work...

...and love to use fun games to engage students while making sure that they understand the material rather than just memorizing. I'm passionate about learning, but outside of academia I spend my free time traveling, cooking, and making art. In college, I was lucky enough to study in Abu Dhabi, Florence, and Buenos Aires, and enjoyed seeing more of the Middle East, Europe, and South America. Now that I'm sticking closer to New York City,...

...in Physics. In the past, I have worked at Kumon as a math and reading tutor. I am most passionate about teaching Math, Physics, and Spanish. I try to bring that passion to each tutoring session so that the lessons are both interesting and enriching.

...Muhlenberg that I was first trained as a tutor. Ever since I have been tutoring Math, Chemistry and standardized tests. Tutoring is a pleasure to me, I particularly enjoy helping students reach that 'aha' moment, where they gain an insight into a particular concept.

...of my school, I have an intricate understanding of math standards for 6th- 12th grade, as well as the new Common Core Standards being piloted through NYC this year. This knowledge paired with my classroom understanding has been key to not only preparing my students for their current grade but really hone in what knowledge they will really need for the next sequential math classes. Recognized as a DOE Honors Teacher, I have prepared students...

...that I do. If there were some words to describe my "style" these would include - clear, decisive, purposeful. I believe in setting a clear path to achieve specific goals a student may have. In order to be a good tutor, you have to have not just a touch of iron/determination, you also have to know your subject matter well and make it relevant to a student who has difficulty. Tough love and hard work,...

...love to help students unlock the challenges of that exam, as well as the SAT and PSAT. I am fluent in Spanish and have lived and studied in Costa Rica, Chile, and Argentina. A fun fact about me: I won an episode of Jeopardy when I was 12 years old, so don't be surprised if I ask for your answers in the form of a question! In my free time, I love to try new...
