1+ Years Tutoring

My goal is tutoring is to help my students be the best learner that they can be. I am willing to help a student reach higher grades, but more important to me than the grade is that the student is actually getting something out of what we are doing, and truly learning, not just retaining information, but engaging with the material and enjoying what they are learning. I firmly believe that hard work pays off, and with the right encouragement and help, a student can achieve anything they set their mind to. You're never to old to learn something new, and the doorways opened by education are endless.

I have a JD and an LLM from Cornell Law School, and a BA in History from Yale.

I'm currently the co-founder of a software-as-a-service company based in NYC. I left law to pursue my passion for technology and I've learned a tremendous amount by working in the tech startup space.I've enjoyed tutoring for many years, including editing essays, papers, and articles, and tutoring students in subjects such as physics, chemistry, math, English, and writing skills. I've also enjoyed helping students prepare for the college or grad school application process. As the recipient of tutoring myself as a high school student, I know firsthand the value that dedicated, passionate, and informed tutors can bring to students. I consider much of my academic success to be the result of great tutoring I've received in the past.I've enjoyed tutoring recently because it's a welcomed respite from the world of startups, and I love seeing students "click" when they've gotten past a mental roadblock, or discovered they could do something they didn't know they could.Among other things, I play the bagpipes, and enjoy reading and traveling. I've traveled to almost all 50 US states, and have been to over 20 different countries. I hope to be in touch soon!

I always find myself lifted by the experience of sharing the learning process with others. As an undergraduate, I had the opportunity to throw myself into a rich liberal arts education at Yale University, where I majored in Music and Humanities but studied everything from Physics to the history of science in the French Enlightenment. At Yale, I not only learned strategies for critical and creative thinking that informed my own studies, but also experienced the value of sharing these habits with others as a volunteer teaching assistant in local schools. Since graduating, I have helped countless students enjoy more healthy and productive academic lives as a private tutor.As a former camp counselor, I appreciate the need for education to inform and enrich the broad elements of a person's life, integrating theory with practice, knowledge with imagination, intellect with intuition. My goals as a tutor are often aligned with my impulse to inspire people through music and performance, where connection is sparked in the opening of specific technical practices towards creative expression of core human values.Whether you are preparing for a standardized test or hoping to solidify your academic skills, my goal is to support you in developing your learning habits towards a joyous and sustainable academic career.

I have always had a passion for teaching, and to me there's nothing better than the smile on a student's face when he or she finally masters a difficult concept. My specialty subject is mathematics. In high school, I finished AP Calculus BC by the end of my junior year, and during my senior year I went on to take college-level math in a dual-enrollment program with Carnegie Mellon University. I just finished my freshman year at Yale, during which I took an accelerated course on Vector Calculus and Linear Algebra. In addition to mathematics, I am also studying music at Yale, where I have taken rigorous courses in music theory, musicianship, and piano performance. I would be able to tutor in those subjects as well. I currently have a 4.0 GPA at Yale.As a high school student, I regularly tutored elementary school students, and I was at the helm of a Homework Helper organization that sent about 260 high school students to provide free tutoring services at local elementary and middle schools. Students find me helpful as a tutor not only because I have abundant expertise in the areas I teach, but also because I am patient and friendly.

I received my B.S. from Yale University, majoring in psychology (with a concentration in neuroscience) and music. While in college and in the years afterward I was a scientific researcher, working with human subjects to collect behavioral and scanning data and performing various statistical analyses, and I presented work at several scientific conferences. Last year I completed my coursework for a master's degree in Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience at The Graduate Center of the City University of New York, and I am currently finishing my thesis. For the past two years I was an adjunct instructor at The City College of New York, teaching statistics and introductory neuroscience, where I learned the importance of communicating complicated concepts clearly at an individualized level. All of my classes performed above average, and I discovered how satisfying it is to help people understand difficult ideas. I've found that by creating a good rapport with my students I am able to more effectively impart difficult concepts to them while causing them less stress. My passion is people, which first led me to study psychology, leading to my work in statistics, and later into teaching.In my free time I enjoy all kinds of music and culture.

They can teach both content knowledge and test-taking skills—like timing, question interpretation, and how to avoid common mistakes.
