About Me

I'm a rising sophomore at Georgetown University studying Mathematics with minors in Physics and Economics. I'm also pre-med and hope to be an orthopedic surgeon someday. While I originally hail from Cape Cod, MA, I will be spending most of my summer in Boston taking Organic Chemistry at Harvard. Outside of the classroom, I'm a part of Georgetown's club rugby team and also participate in GUMSHOE, a club that teaches math and science to inner city students. I also enjoy going for runs to the monuments in DC and playing in pickup soccer games! For me, I especially enjoy tutoring mathematics because I think it serves as a foundation for a number of other subjects and also enhances problem solving ability. I'd like to see those I tutor consider studying mathematics in college just like me.

Q&A with Zachary

My philosophy is simple: practice. I have trouble focusing while being lectured and because I think teaching should be more about doing. In math and science it's important to frequently practice problems, and English and the humanities it’s important to write and recall facts. Students should be honing their skills for most of the teaching experience while teachers are there as a guide if students get stuck or haven't encountered a concept. This philosophy has helped me to excel in my most difficult classes and standardized tests.
