Throughout my academic career, I have been...

When I teach I focus on short lessons followed by "hands-on" student activities to reinforce the lesson. When I'm not teaching I enjoy outdoor activities like...

...skills, algebra, test taking tips, time management, etc. During our sessions together, we will review the problems that I have provided for homework, and I will instruct the student on better and faster ways to solve the correct problems and demonstrate ways to approach the problems that they did not know how to solve. Additionally, I always find that my students have the greatest level of success as I foster great tutor/student relationships. I set...

...academic standards but also to be critical thinkers and curious, well-informed human beings. I recently completed a dual degree at Indiana University and moved to New York to take a gap year before beginning graduate school.

...fully overcome these obstacles and solve the problems with ease in a coherent and thorough manner without any difficulty. The way I go about eliminating these obstacles and difficulties that each student is facing, is by creating multiple teaching strategies. Some of my strategies involved the making of a new lesson plan detailing important concepts and terms covered in class, supplemented with examples and textbook materials. Other strategies involved the use of a step by...

...Empowering Ourselves Organization during the summer. I worked out of a church in Brooklyn tutoring students who were struggling in school academically.

Oftentimes, students just need the right person with the right teaching style for that education to be a fun, easy process....

Because of my experience, skills, and passion in mathematics, I know that I can reach...

...the fields of arithmetic, geometry, trigonometry, algebra, and pre-calculus. I have also tutored a few of my college-aged friends to help them study for upcoming calculus and statistics finals. By far, my favorite subject to tutor is mathematics. Arithmetic and geometry have such beautiful, intricate relationships which I find fascinating. I think, as a result, my teaching philosophy is more exploratory and less rigid. If a student is engaged, I am more than willing to...

...at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ. I have successfully taken and performed well on the SAT, MCAT, and United States Medical Licensing Exams (USMLE).

Now a...
