"I'm Eric! I graduated from New York University in 2019 with a double major in Mathematics and Computer Science. In college I realized my favorite classes were the ones taught by engaging and compassionate professors, professors who explained topics clearly, brought new ideas and interpretations, and made students laugh every lecture. I strive to bring the same humor, compassion, and knowledge to each tutoring session. My tutoring methodology is to break down complex topics into their basic components then use analogies and real life examples to show how these components form the original topic. I ask students to explain these basic components to me to show a strong fundamental base. Just like a building can not have a weak foundation, understanding advanced topics requires a deep understanding of the basics.

I began tutoring in high school. For 4 years in high school, I ran an after school tutoring club where students could come receive tutoring in any subject they required. In college I TA'd a Data Structures class and an algorithms class where I held consistently packed weekly office hours. I was even voted the best TA for both classes. Subjects I've extensively tutored include: Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Trigonometry, Calculus 1, Calculus 2, Basic Algorithms, Data Structures. What I enjoy most about tutoring is instilling confidence into students and seeing that aha moment from them when they finally understand how to differentiate a function or implement Dijkstra's algorithm.

I'm easy to reach and respond very quickly. I want to help the students I work with as much as possible so I welcome any feedback or advice students and or their parents may have. So many people think CS or math is the hardest subject ever but they only think that way because it wasn't properly taught to them. My unique visual and Harkness like teaching methodology will really show students that CS and math aren't anything to be afraid of. Feel free to contact me with any potential questions or to schedule a lesson!" less...
