I want to pass those passions onto young minds...

...a positive attitude. My approach to teaching is based on positive reinforcement, encouragement, and the belief that every wrong answer simply brings us one step closer to finding the right one. Though I tutor many subjects, I find SAT preparation to be particularly rewarding. Everyone has a dream school, and there is nothing better than turning a dream into an acceptance letter! In my spare time, I love cooking, eating, reading, listening to all types...

...the program's history. By guiding other tutors and consulting students for feedback on their experience, I got a very keen sense of what works and what doesn't.

...Arts and Sciences. With tutoring, I am very patient, and it is my goal to make sure my tutees absolutely understand the material they need help with. In general, I explain things in a lot of detail, which could be unnecessary at times, but I think that is better than not explaining enough. Because I'm majoring in Computer Science, that is one of my strongest subjects to tutor in, but I am able to tutor...

...can make even the most challenging tests cower in fear from your knowledgeable prowess, but bad habits can set you up for perpetual under performance and unnecessary stress.

I am familiar with Common Core Standards and Assessments, the English Language Arts Exam, and the apprehension that children may feel when facing these tests.

During my undergraduate career, I minored in Spanish as a nod to my Hispanic heritage and worked with the Permanent Mission of the Dominican Republic to the United Nations.

As your private tutor, I will not only help you obtain the grades you want, but I will also help you find the real world application behind the subjects.
