You will learn how to approach a problem -- from how to think, to how to build expectations, how to actually solve the problems, how to see if the answer makes sense and then how to possibly apply this skill later on. You will also learn strategies for test taking.

About Me
I started tutoring and teaching as a way to support myself in college and graduate school.
My students averaged a grade of A- per semester at both Harvard and Stony Brook. As a research scientist I found that I miss the interaction with students, especially that moment when they grasp a difficult concept or acquire a skill, they thought they'd never get.
Mathematics and the physical sciences are built like a pyramid -- if you are missing a foundation skill, the whole structure will fall. So, part of what I focus on is identifying the fundamental skills the person is missing and focus on practicing those. I provide additional practice problems so the student can cement their understanding and make math problem solving as automatic as possible. I also tutor students for AP and IB physics, AMC math competition and Computer Science competitions. If you are interested, drop me a message.
