About Me

I have always been quick to learn, and glad to share what I know to be of help to others. Teaching has always been a love of mine: I tutored informally for the joy of it in High School, and when at Harvard, tutored local HS students as a volunteer, and fellow Harvard students on behalf of the university. I am a polymath: though my BA and MA are in Physics, I spent time as a Humanities major and was wooed by the Harvard history dept; I am currently finishing my MBA. Math and Physics are not things to be afraid of: Math is a powerful tool and language, and Physics is not only the study of how our universe works, opening up beautiful vistas into nature, but also phenomenal training in problem solving, analytical thinking, and using the math that sometimes seems so abstract. Tutoring allows me to not only share my love of these things with others, it also gives me the privilege of creating rapport with students who want to learn. I love the "A-ha!" moments when a student understands something new, and relish the opportunity to help the next generation succeed in life and not just in school!
