Generally, my focus is on helping students understand the concepts and master the thought processes that lead to the right answer, rather than using rote memorization or oversimplified practice. My favorite subjects to tutor are Math and Physics, particularly Calculus (whose elegance made me love math again), but I'm happy to help with practically any high school class (the exceptions being History classes), test prep, or collegiate...

...in one-on-one sessions and finding more individualized lessons. When I think about teaching, I try to focus educating the whole student, not just improving their abilities in mathematics, but rather what is going to make them a well-rounded adult, that has the mental fortitude to work through difficult challenges.

While I am qualified to tutor many subjects, I most enjoy tutoring Writing, Reading Comprehension, and Language Arts Skills.

Formally, I have taught students at the high school and college level in math and history (Rutgers University - PhD, 1988) and advised many others informally as a banking and investment professional (Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), since 1994). Recently, I have become a math...
