...and physics, as well as math subjects like algebra and calculus. I also tutor for standardized tests like the SAT, ACT, AP tests, and the MCAT. I sincerely believe that while some of the concepts presented in these subjects and tests seem initially very difficult, they become much less intimidating if you have the confidence and perspective to look at the problems from the right angle. They don't have to be so challenging! I like...

...my greatest achievement at this point in my life. In the teaching process, I consider patience to be my strongest quality, as I've found that students are able to perform better in a subject once they are shown problems or the study material in a different way that is more relatable or easier to understand. My teaching philosophy is to try to be as engaging of an instructor as possible--from my own education, I've noticed...

...makes my day! I know what it's like to be in your shoes. During my first semester at Stuy, I had a really hard time with physics.

Having a patient and understanding tutor can make all the difference now that I'm in a...

Though these subjects can at times be difficult to engage with, I am confident that together we can uncover new perspectives and learning strategies that will reinvigorate your relationship to the material and improve your grades dramatically. Sometimes all that is necessary for an academic breakthrough is seeing old material from a new vantage point! I know the importance...
