Gokce: Mission Viejo tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of New York University. I received my Ph.D in Political Science with a focus on quantitative politics and political economy. My thesis has been published in the prominent political economy journal Public Choice in September 2013 . At NYU, I worked both as a research and teaching assistant (TA). In particular, I worked as the TA for the math class for the PhD students and the Head TA for the game theory based international relations core course for undergraduates. Prior to my graduate studies, I had completed my Masters in Economics as a Fulbright Fellow at Stanford University- where I also worked as a teaching assistant for intermediate level micro-economics for undergraduates- and my BA in Economics at Bosphorus University of my native country, While I worked as a TA for a range of courses at NYU, I have always been most passionate about mathematics. I love math for its clarity and for all the possibilities it can open to anyone who is versed in this language. I worked as a volunteer Algebra 1 teacher at Baltimore Teaching Residency in Summer 2017. Since Fall 2016, I am working as a math tutor for elementary and mid school students, always addressing what the student needs, following the common core curriculum. I believe having strong math skills and a strong foundation is very important for a student's success at more advanced level math classes and test preparation that comes further down the road. As the pace of math learning at school is steep, many students may find themselves lagging. I strongly believe, intervention to help students get stronger in their math skills at this critical stage is very important. I have also successfully worked in NYC with several high school students who had ADHD medical conditions. I can share the resumes these families have left for me. In my spare time, I enjoy walking in the city, cooking, yoga and find tranquility in the beautiful churches of our wonderful city. I look forward to helping you achieve your academic goals.
