...Outside of work (where I am a management consultant), I play hockey and piano. Since high school, I have helped fellow students with academics. At school, I was also a tutor through Penn's Tutoring Center. I think what makes me a successful tutor is the ability to not only understand the material but also the perspective of the tutee. This helps me convey necessary information in the best way possible for that particular student.

Private equity investment professional based in New York City. Hobbies include snowboarding, ballroom dancing, board games and running.... I believe in helping the student to reach the answer on his/her own rather than providing the answer and working backwards. I do this by using three approaches: (1) framing the question and taking it high level, (2) present parallel situations/examples that are easier to comprehend and (3) listening and answering questions/concerns of the student.... In the first session, I believe in establishing goals and ground rules, as well as discussing the student's learning style and my teaching style.

When I was in 8th grade, I was struggling with pre-algebra (I couldn't seem to wrap my head around distance/rate/time problems). I found myself loathing a class I had once loved. I started working with a tutor and going from barely getting by to being successful in that class was a very fulfilling feeling that I hope to continue to pass on to others....
