...working with students, I try to keep the environment lively. I want them to enjoy Math and Science too. In my free time, I like to be physically active and stay busy. I spend time at the gym, I go hiking and camping with my dog, play video games, and hang out with friends. I also do quite a bit of outdoor photography and I love going for long rides on my motorcycle.... Everyone can achieve at the highest level of academia with the right guidance. In order to push into the next level of understanding, a student must be tasked with a challenge that is just beyond their current ability. Overcoming the slight challenge causes a student to feel accomplished and thus makes them want to be challenged and succeed again. As a teacher, my job is to create those challenges and guide students through them in a way where it is clear that they did most of the work.

...knew my career path would lead me back to the classroom for that is where I find the most joy in my professional life. That joy translates easily to the personal tutoring venue, and my experiences in the dramatic arts make me a very personable, approachable, and relatable educator.

...graduated from Villanova University and am starting my MA in Spanish at Middlebury College. I studied for eight months in the beautiful city of Madrid, Spain. I have tutored students in Spanish at the middle school, high school and undergraduate levels. My approach is explicit instruction and drills combined with practical conversation so students can get comfortable speaking and using the language. I truly enjoy helping my clients learn, practice, and love Spanish the way...

...experiences have been contributed to my teaching style. My philosophy for tackling challenging academic subjects is also an outgrowth of my own personal study habits. I believe that organization is key. I have found that a certain combination of systematic organization and simplification of every detail helps to illuminate the solution. Having a structured and repeatable approach can then be engrained in the thought process through repetition, and improvement will surely follow. Furthermore, I believe...

...workshop at Hunter's literary magazine every Thursday. I love to walk around the city, as well as the outer boroughs, and discover new places. I feel like there's too much in New York City to go to the same places all the time. Music is implemented into my everyday life. I sing, frequent concerts, and listen to music daily. I go to other shows as well, such as stand-up comedy and plays. I attend concerts...

I believe in teaching students to learn how to think and problem-solve on their own. I use examples and analogies that students can relate to in order to help them master material. I will be attending medical school in the fall.
