My bachelor's degree in math comes from Fairmont State University. I have over four years of experience in NYC public schools, and I'm embarrassed by the lack of effort put forth to instill the importance of a Mathematical mind. I feel like my love and enthusiasm for Math makes me an excellent tutor.

...B.S in Biomedical Engineering from Cornell University. With several years of tutoring experience under my belt, and a long journey of figuring out my own techniques for studying and retaining vital classroom knowledge, I have a tool belt ready of methods to succeed in the classroom. Additionally, I have worked with students on all sides of the learning/comprehension spectrum and will help your child gain the confidence and skills necessary for long term success!... I believe one thing wrong with today's educational systems is that students focus too much on the short terms goals - memorizing information just for the next test, rushing through homework just to get a good grade for that assignment, cramming just to pass a 3 hour AP or regents, etc. I hope to teach students to gain knowledge and confidence in a subject, not just short-term memorization, and walk away with lifelong test-taking, learning, and study tools.

...leader for an Alternative Breaks trip to Nicaragua for Public Health and Education and became a Resident Assistant at Lafayette Residence Hall. However, my interests and hobbies expand into many categories including playing piano and saxophone, doing gymnastics, participating in German culture, Bollywood and country music (I really like all genres though). I can solve a Rubik's cube in three minutes. I also speak Spanish, and I am from Wantagh, Long Island.... The uses of mathematics range from everyday arithmetic to advanced problem solving, making the importance of mathematics education in society indisputable. Knowing the quadratic formula or constructing an angle bisector may seem useless to some, and I agree that this knowledge alone is not what should be considered useful. This is the discrepancy between what mathematics education is and what it should be, which is the focus on procedure and result versus conceptual understanding and connected knowledge. Mathematics is more than a result; it is a process. It is the process of reasoning, strategy, logic, and proof that created mathematics in the first place (and makes it beautiful). We should focus on logic and proof to legitimize and reason why we do certain things to solve a problem. Therefore, teaching mathematics is so much more than teaching algebra, geometry, probability, statistics, and trigonometry. It is teaching a way of thinking. Teaching mathematics is shaping a mind to be able to work out problems in a reasonable, logical way.

I truly believe education is a mutual learning and teaching opportunity and enjoy helping my students achieve a thorough understanding (those "Aha!" moments) and appreciation of whatever they choose to study! In the future, I seek to pursue clinical and pedagogical medicine and enjoy biking, skateboarding, dancing, and philosophizing in my spare time.

I started in high school and found it to be a meaningful way to reinforce academic concepts, while also gaining strong communication and teaching skills. Aside from tutoring, I am an avid fan of rap music, politics, music production, philosophy, and basketball. Feel free to talk to me about anything!... I believe in drawing from real world scenarios to provide context for the student to make connections on their own. The best way for a student to learn and internalize information is by arriving to necessary conclusions on their own. My role as a tutor is not to bog down the student with my own personal learning methods, but rather to facilitate an environment where the student can comfortably understand the material and make independent and educated assertions.
