"I hold two Bachelors of Science in Applied Mathematics and Statistics as well as in Economics from Stony Brook University. My passion for mathematics has followed me along my academic journey as well as my professional experience. I enjoy solving problems using math and empowering others to do the same by offering guidance and helping them understand how to tackle problems. In High School, I have taken Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 2, Trigonometry, AP BC Calculus (scoring a 5), as well as Multivariable Calculus. Following my passion for math, I pursued a degree that allowed me to study it on a more in-depth level while using my foundational skills for a more practical level for my professional career.
In college and high school, I offered help in the form of study groups and tutoring sessions to my classmates. I learned a lot from being able to assist students of varying skill levels, and I cultivated an encouraging environment that helped us all achieve our respective goals in classes. The differing skill levels allowed me to understand different learning styles of students and tailor my sessions to the individual needs of students by breaking down complex mathematical concepts into easy-to-understand steps. This allowed students to understand what is being asked of them, employ the proper strategy, and solve it on their own with different numbers.
I aim to inspire a genuine appreciation for math and help students achieve their academic and personal goals, whether they are preparing for exams, overcoming challenges in coursework, or exploring how math applies in the real world. Although I plan on sharing my perspective on how to problem-solve, I also embrace non-traditional ways of thinking about how to solve problems, because it heightens the understanding of the concept and allows the student to arrive at the right answer in a way that makes sense to them. I want to alleviate any fears that students can have with math by making my lessons fun and easy to understand, and guide them to success." less...
