"Hi, I am a PhD student at Stony Brook University. I find it fulfilling to try and pique the interest of students who have struggled with math in the past. Since math has always been a passion of mine, I hope that I can help make it more enjoyable for others.

I have worked in several teaching roles before; Two years ago I worked as a summer school teacher for the charter school network Uncommon Schools, where I taught an Algebra I class for 8th and 9th graders. I also worked as a physics teaching assistant at my university for 2.5 years, where my role was primarily to help students work through the weekly homework and reinforce concepts. I enjoy giving 1-on-1 help with problems, and I can also help prepare students for standardized tests in math and physics. Aside from academics, I am a huge Boston sports fan, and I played ice hockey and lacrosse for most of my childhood. I also love pets and currently have 2 cats at home.

In middle school and high school, I took every honors math class (algebra, geometry, trigonometry, precalculus, calculus). I got a 5 on the AP Calculus BC exam. In college, I took both multivariable and vector calculus, before focusing on more theoretical areas; mainly abstract algebra and topology. I am now specializing in Operations Research as part of a PhD in Applied Mathematics.

I am always open to feedback and hope to find students that I work well with. Please reach out to me if you think I would be a good fit for you!" less...
