"With a passion for tutoring that began back in 2000, I have had the privilege of helping thousands of students of all ages, from 8 to 75, master new and challenging material. Whether it’s breaking down complex concepts for younger learners or providing detailed support for college students, my goal is always to help my students understand the material quickly and effectively. Over the past 25 years, I have successfully guided students in subjects ranging from mathematics and chemistry to Spanish to achieve their academic goals and score highly on the ACT, SAT, GRE, and AP exams.

I earned my BA in biology, chemistry, and mathematics from Manhattanville College, graduating with Summa Cum Laude honors, and later obtained my MS in Mathematics from New York University. Throughout my academic career, I was inspired by professors who highlighted the elegance of abstract concepts, particularly in math. Their clear explanations and encouragement shaped my own teaching style, which I now pass on to my students.

I take great pride in creating a relaxed learning environment where students feel supported and encouraged. My teaching approach is centered around breaking down complex ideas from different perspectives, ensuring that my students can grasp the material in a way that works best for them. I emphasize consistent practice, practice, and more practice, with a focus on understanding why formulas and processes work, rather than just memorizing them. My aim is to foster motivation, analytical thinking, and focus in my students, helping them build confidence and a deeper understanding at their own pace.

I’ve learned that patience and careful explanation can make all the difference in a student’s learning experience. My sessions are designed to help students feel less intimidated by the material, ultimately strengthening their comprehension and academic success. The personal satisfaction of seeing my students overcome challenges and master difficult concepts is what drives me in my work." less...
