Experience
I have been tutoring since I was in high school. My aim as a tutor is to help my students gain a sense of confidence and create a deep understanding of the material while keeping them engaged and motivated. My experience has been that one-to-one personal tuition has a unique value to students because of the ability to resolve the students’ personal barriers to learning in a way that lays the foundations for a deep and lasting understanding of the subject. My approach changes based on the students' needs and learning style. Everyone learns differently. I'm constantly encouraging my students to think for themselves so they can better their skills in problem solving. I start from topics the students are comfortable with and move gradually towards more complex areas as their confidence builds. I use questions and examples to check understanding continually. I believe that one on one tutoring has a huge value in a students education and I take great satisfaction in watching my students grow and reach their full potential.

Hobbies
Aside from my studies, I'm currently the head coach of the color guard at Mineola High School. I work with high school students ranging in ages of 12-18. I teach them not only how to spin a flag but also instill a sense responsibility, professionalism and perseverance. I use the same tactics with my tutoring.
