...Mathematics. My position included both teaching and research responsibilities. I was teaching all levels of mathematics, including single- and multi-variable calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, advanced undergraduate analysis as well as graduate courses. While I love math and teaching, I found that working working full-time at a university is not for me. The heavy teaching loads and constant pressure to publish research results left me run down and exhausted, and that's not how I want...

...seeing them have their "aha!" moment makes my day! I know what it's like to be in your shoes. During my first semester at Stuy, I had a really hard time with physics. I was fortunate enough to have a kind upperclassman walk me through concepts like projectile motion and practice questions. He was a huge reason why I ultimately did well in the course. Having a patient and understanding tutor can make all the...

Practice and large amounts of exposure is the only way to succeed in a subject, so I will go over a topic multiple times if necessary.

I care deeply about my students and their success, and I look forward to working with...

...tutoring center, and helped several students to turn around their class performance. I also enjoy helping students prepare for standardized test, whether that be the SAT or the LSAT.

...for cracking standardized tests, and I find it very rewarding to help demystify them by teaching students to recognize common strategies used to confuse test-takers.

I love to learn, and I draw on that enthusiasm to get all of my students invested in their own growth. In my spare time, I...

...guide the student to the right solution rather than a solution manual to consult or a teacher to recapitulate a lecture. Of course, if what the student needs is a further explanation of lectured material, I am also happy to provide that, but I find it is best covered within the context of particular problems: we learn best by doing, and solving homework problems is no exception. Within math, I tutor nearly every subject. Particular...
