I grew up in Central New Jersey as a student of the largest high school district in the state. My own educational opportunities have helped me develop a passion and reverence for education. I spent my first postgraduate year serving under-resourced 8th grade students in Brooklyn; in this position, I helped motivate and lead my students, many of whom face great challenges and adversity in life, to academic success in the subjects of Math, English, and Science. While I tutor many subjects, I have a particular passion for Math and Sciences seeing as those are the subjects I will continue to pursue in my own life. I have also had particular success in prepping students for test taking by using my extensive experience in this area to assist my students. I would describe my teaching style and philosophy as a development of mutual respect; I have come to understand that a student's respect for learning is often a reflection of his or her teacher's attitude toward the learning process. I am a patient and caring teacher and I care greatly for my students' improvements. In my free time, you can find me fancying myself a film critic or picking up a stray set on the tennis court.

Enjoys reading and writing about film/television. Likes playing tennis
