I have years of experience tutoring beginning in undergrad at Yeshiva University where I received my B.A. in Mathematics & Physics (and a minor in Arts!) I continued on with a Master’s from Columbia University in STEM Education. I recently finished my second Master’s in Applied Math also at Columbia University. Throughout this time I have been teaching in a variety of roles, from Elementary School to the University level, specializing in Mathematics at all levels. Additionally, I enjoy helping students develop their skills in coding and engineering. As a teacher, connecting with my students in a meaningful way is one of the most powerful experiences; I find they are truly impactful and far-reaching. I take a humanistic approach to learning, one that recognizes each person as a whole that comes with its own unique context. These aspects are not only key in learning new material but also in finding meaning and purpose in those same topics within their lives. My goal is to get to know my student and, beyond that, empower them to get to know themselves and their style in learning as we work on each problem. I can help them rediscover the material in a new light, in a way that better connects to the student's life, world, and interests. I myself grew up with a whirlwind of influences, languages and cultures and enjoy a diverse range of interests; my newest passion is bouldering! I hope I get to uncover your student’s potential together and bring them a new love of learning.
