My ultimate goal is not to simply make sure a child knows a formula, but more importantly the concept behind that formula, and under what circumstances it needs to be applied. With my help, I can make sure pupils learn not only the what and when of a concept, but also the why...

...all ranks were let go, the unprofitable firm would later be sold. This turn of events set the stage for the priceless classroom exploratory phase I was seeking. I increased my workload with Prep for Prep and added two more positions to form a full-time schedule of teaching: I now also taught SAT Verbal at Leader’s Academy and New York Regents English Language Arts at the Harlem Children’s Zone.

In my free time, I enjoy playing music (piano, guitar...

...high regard. I prioritize planning sessions to transform students weaknesses into strengths. I strive to help students foster a love for reading and build on their imagination. I want students to experience how simply reading a book can take them places they may never experienced physically and express their voice in writing.

I knew I wanted to work with young people, but never envisioned being at the front of a...

In high school, I myself struggled with physics and math, so I have a good idea of what could be confusing to students, and I know a lot of memorization tricks and analogies to simplify the hard concepts. I also specialize in teaching College math and physics and preparing the student for the math and physics section of the following standardized exams: GRE, MCAT, OAT, DAT or any other exam of...

...and truly love both subjects. I believe elementary education is as much about understanding the student's way of thinking and helping her or him absorb the material in a way that compliments that approach as it is a one-way impartation of knowledge. As such I try very hard to patiently go through each step of the student's thought process with him or her, in order to personalize my tutoring to the student. Having worked with...
