My tutoring style involves much more than just recapping class notes and going over homeworks. I create additional problems, teach multiple techniques to solving a single problem, and work with the student to develop effective study habits. Every student is unique. Thus, I believe tutoring must cater to each individual student in order to reach them most effectively.
Learning and success involve the development of both technical and non-technical skills. The gratification of seeing a student do well on the exam we prepared for is nothing compared to the gratification of seeing that student find his/her passion and go off to a great school to pursue it. Getting good grades will of course help, but I encourage students to develop communication skills, organizational skills, and time management. I want students to do well not just on one exam but in life.

Questions and Answers
Q:
What do your customers like the most about your services?
A:
My ability to explain things in a simple way. The challenge of being an effective teacher/tutor is not only knowing the material but being able to present it in a way that someone else can understand.
Q:
What is your favorite thing about your work?
A:
My passion for tutoring stems from my passion for learning. I strongly believe the best application of knowledge is the sharing of knowledge. There's a certain fulfillment one gets out of helping someone else, especially someone young. Tutors, teachers, coaches, etc. - whether they realize it or not, they all play the role of mentors as well. A good mentor can be a strong, positive influence on someone's childhood, helping to shape their future.
Q:
What was your most memorable job?
A:
My most memorable job was helping a 10th grade girl with math. At first, she "hated" math. But soon enough, her grades started to improve and she started to really understand and appreciate the material. Needless to say, I was thrilled to learn that she chose to pursue a degree in finance.
Q:
What is your favorite thing about your clients?
A:
I love when my clients give me feedback. It's great to know how I can improve as a tutor. I feel like I learn just as much from my students as they do from me. Everyone has a unique learning style, and encountering such a wide array of styles is extremely rewarding.
Q:
What education, training, and skills do you have?
A:
The Cooper Union, Summa Cum Laude, B.E. in Electrical Engineering, Class of 2010 (#1 in the U.S. News and World Report 2010 Baccalaureate College in the North Rankings)
Roslyn High School, Valedictorian, Class of 2006 (Top 10 Best High Schools in the U.S. according to the Wall Street Journal, 1999)
Q:
What relevant experience do you have?

5+ years of math and science tutoring experience (I've worked with elementary school students to college students, and everyone in between)
