"I’m a retired data scientist/algorithmic trader turned full-time educator with a deep love for mathematics and physics.

I hold Master’s degrees in Engineering and Mathematics from Columbia University, (where I graduated with a GPA above 4.0), as well as an MBA from the London School of Economics. Having competed in national Math and Physics Olympiads and later taught at the graduate level, I know what it takes to succeed.

I specialize in AP Mathematics, AP Physics, and SAT preparation, helping students strengthen their conceptual understanding, problem-solving skills, and exam technique. My goal isn’t just higher grades or test scores (though we’ll get those!) — it’s helping students truly understand what they’re learning and build the confidence to tackle any challenge independently.

My teaching journey began as a graduate student at Columbia, tutoring high schoolers who were struggling with math and science. Since then, I’ve served as a teaching assistant and Dean’s Tutor for advanced university courses, supporting students in mastering everything from Calculus and Linear Algebra to Engineering Physics.

In recent years, I’ve helped students significantly raise their SAT scores — often by 100–200 points — through clear explanations, practical test strategies, and personalized feedback. Whether it’s working through tricky AP Calculus concepts or optimizing your SAT problem-solving speed, I bring patience, structure, and genuine care to every lesson.

I genuinely love mathematics and physics. That love is what drives my teaching, it’s not just about getting the right answers, but about building deep understanding and intellectual curiosity. My ultimate goal as a tutor is to guide my students to a point where they no longer need a tutor." less...
