I am currently on Princeton's Model United Nations Team, and of my College Council. I also do Aikido (a type of Martial Art) once every week, and whenever I have spare time I play pool with my roommate! Other things I particularly enjoy are playing chess, jogging, and hiking in the mountains. I recently joined Princeton's French Theater troop, and will be serving next year as one of my college's Peer Academic Advisors.

What is your teaching philosophy?
My teaching philosophy is to guide, and not lecture, my students. I prefer to help my students find answers on their own, only giving them enough information to start on the right path and figure the rest out on their own, rather than throwing all the information at them and expecting them to memorize it.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
The first thing I would do is get to know with whom I am working. I think it is worth sacrificing 15 minutes of studying time for me to learn about the person I am helping: their interests, their challenges, their goals... This way, I can better adapt myself to my student and begin to build a constructive relationship with them.
