To provide the most knowledgeable, clear, patient, and supportive academic assistance to my students by drawing on my extensive experiences as student and as a teacher, by thinking outside of the box about the needs of each student, and by respecting each student as a full person and not just a learner with an academic challenge.
I’m a graduate of Stanford University School of Medicine, a ΦΒΚ electee and magna-cum-laude graduate of Columbia University, a graduate of one of the top high schools in the country, and the recipient of numerous other honors. Please see the links to the left for more about my qualifications and experience.
In my tutoring, I believe in integrating work on subject-specific content (that is, the specific subject like algebra or biology or English I’m tutoring) with planning together with my student to choose study strategies (like doing practice problems or breaking down the writing process into multiple drafts) and make study study schedules. I think there are general study skills that are somewhat transferable between subjects. But I also think that for each subject each student needs a personalized set of study strategies, and that it’s my job to help the student identify those strategies and become more capable of identifying similar strategies for future subjects and classes. Please see the link to the left for more about my educational philosophy.
I teach a wide range of subjects in math, science, the social sciences, and the humanities to help students with on-going courses, to prepare them for future courses and give them enrichment, and to prepare students for standardized tests.
