...eager to ignite this passion in others. I began studying German at age 12 in middle school and went on to complete a BA degree at the State University of New York at Oswego. I subsequently completed a Masters degree through Middlebury College and was able to study in Berlin, Germany during this time.

I have helped hundreds of students with SAT preparation, and have worked both...

Michael J. Fox has famously taken the words of Ignacio Estrada and made them a personal slogan of sorts "If a child can't learn the way we teach. maybe we should teach the way they learn" This is my personal mission as an educator, to always find the best way to reach students and ensure that they become life long learners. ...

I have had experience teaching violin, Chinese, English, swimming, writing, and cell biology, and I'm very excited to expand this list. By continuing to encourage...

...so that every student feels successful and well equipped to handle material on their own. I think that it is crucial that students also learn what resources they have available to them when a tutor or teacher is not available, and how to employ those resources. I think it is vital that I help students figure out the best way for them to learn. Every individual is different and I see it as my role...

...MIT. I specialize in microelectronics- scaling devices to their physical limit and enabling more advanced computer, mobile and server chips.
