Through these experiences, I have realized how much I love...

...in any subject. In addition to my experiences as a tutor and a mentor, I was a teaching fellow at an intensive teaching fellowship called Breakthrough Collaborative in San Francisco in which I learned specific teaching strategies such as strategic questioning, thought process verbalization, sentence starting, role reversal, etc. In addition to teaching, I have conducted research on education policy and teacher feedback systems.

...when I began teaching piano lessons in high school. As a piano teacher, I discovered a passion for teaching and I learned how rewarding it is to encourage my students and to see them succeed.

...with the knowledge learned from them being able to apply to other subjects across the board. My teaching style is a 'Learn with the student' approach, breaking down problems to basic parts and building them up piece by piece, really understanding what and why we are doing each step of the process. I enjoy being able to connect the questions to a more every-day scenarios in order to really get an intuitive understanding instead of...

...in Organic Chemistry and Biology. I have a strong background in the basic sciences and can provide a solid foundation in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. I believe strongly in a holistic approach to teaching because in my experience students are far more willing to learn when seemingly arcane subjects can be tied into their day to day life and their relevance concretely demonstrated. I delight in finding and applying these connections, and I look forward...

...has helped me to understand that teaching, one-on-one or in a classroom setting, is something that I'm passionate about. I believe that dialogue between mentor and pupil, much in the style of Plato's works, is the most effective way of imparting knowledge.

I look forward to helping more students succeed in math, and maybe even help them love it like I do. I am originally from Arizona, and I like to read, watch Netflix, and climb on...

...New York City, where I was Associate Director of Analytics for a digital advertising agency. Math, statistics and economics have always been the subjects I enjoyed learning about the most and in which I excelled.

Getting the answer wrong or even a bad grade is such a great tool for learning if you stay engaged and you know it does not define your abilities nor intelligence! Let's work together! I believe learning is much more effective, memorable, and productive when you have an ally or teammate. Finally, I love seeing students discover how to arrive at an answer,...
