Isaac

Certified Tutor

I am originally from Los Angeles but currently working on a BA at New York University on a full scholarship. I specialize in test prep, writing help, and middle/high school mathematics.
I believe it is crucial to approach learning through the lens of familiar subjects, rather than diving into something new without any relation to it; the mind is only able to absorb new information on basis of past experience.
In the same way, I approach my students not as an authority figure, but rather as someone who has been in their proverbial shoes. With this mindset, I care deeply about my students' well-being as individual human beings, not as mere test-takers or information absorbers.
Outside of academics, I am a sound engineer, an avid Game of Thrones fan, and a basketball aficionado.
