David: Palos Heights tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a 2016 graduate of New York University with a double major in Economics and Dance. I graduated in a three year time span with both degrees and currently am a professional dancer and teacher. While in college, I lead many economics and math study groups for my fellow colleagues and was a Freshman Resident Assistant my last year of college. While I am not rehearsing for performances, I teach dance to students ages 8-18 and have been doing that for over four years now. My favorite subjects to tutor are middle school - high school math and economics - focusing on microeconomics including AP microeconomics. While tutoring and teaching, I am a huge advocate for not understanding just how to solve the problem, but realizing why we are doing the steps in order to achieve the final solution. Not only am I trying to get the person to understand the problem, but teaching how to be a creative and independent thinker when approaching an unknown question. Outside of dancing, tutoring, and teaching I love to play sports such as soccer and volleyball, as well as travel as much as possible. My personal future goals will be to obtain my masters/phd in economics and economic policy and eventually become a top policy maker within the government.
