Current Undergrad, Finance and Statistics

10+ years of tutoring

New York University

I am a senior at New York University studying Finance, Statistics, and Computer Science. I have been tutoring for almost five years at the high school and test prep level and I love the mentoring experience! I believe whole-heartedly in a multi-faceted approach to learning and strive for depth of practice as well as breadth of knowledge. I am well trained in all of the subjects I have listed on my profile, whether through tutoring experience or academic and professional exploration. High school sciences have been a strength of mine since taking the AP exams in high school. Through tutoring, I have kept up to date with changes in the exam and curriculum. My proudest moment was when one of my Honors Chemistry students achieved a 13 point increase in grading from the first quarter of the school year - from 83 to 96. Through my professional and undergraduate education, I am intensely familiar with finance, accounting, comp science, and economics.

Q&A with Eric

The tenets of my approach to tutoring are three: Planning, Patience, and Depth. I prepare my curriculum and practice problems after doing a thorough reading of the subject syllabus. I plan according to the timeline of test taking in order to best prepare my students. I believe that sometimes students take different approach to learning than others, and so emphasize patience in teaching new test taking strategies or concepts. Finally, I believe that my depth of knowledge as a tutor must be strong enough to support most if not all questions asked on the subject matter. I am not afraid to admit I'm wrong and use the technology and tools available to us though!
