About Me

After attending Hunter College High School and the Collegiate School, I went on to Middlebury College, where I successfully juggled the rigors of academics and athletics by majoring in History, minoring in English and American Literatures, and playing on the men's basketball team. Since graduating in 2011, I've taught numerous ACT, SAT, AP US History and World History classes, and developed a teaching style that strives to maximize student outcomes. I spend most of my free time coding web and mobile apps, reading memoirs and short stories, writing comedy sketches, and winning as many fantasy sports leagues as I can enter.

Q&A with Ashton

Learning content or a new skill can take time but shouldn't be stressful. In my sessions, I use the student's interests, humor, and, occasionally, pushups and planks to facilitate the learning process. How would you help a student stay motivated? A healthy balance of carrots and sticks. Carrots: taking an interest in them, positive reinforcement, and Snapchat breaks. Sticks: my "disappointed in you" face, pushups, and planks.
