"Beyond my classroom experience at Charter Schools, I've had the pleasure of tutoring students of very different academic paths and abilities - from an elite Horace Mann AP student to Mathnasium low elementary school students. Since January 2021, I've focused on teaching Olympiad material - MOEMS, AMC 8, AMC 10 and Mathcounts. I’ve had great pleasure using George Lenchner books (MOEMS and Creative Problem Solving) and Richard Rusczyk books. In addition to these books, I also enjoy creating my own curriculum. 

As a result of years of experience, I’ve become very familiar with the subject matter. I’m aware of the misconceptions and hurdles that students run into and adjust the curriculum when I introduce topics to make sure it doesn't happen. What makes me a successful tutor is being able to find the appropriate pace and comfort for each student, including high-achieving students. My philosophy for each lesson is to ensure that after an engaging and enriching experience, the student becomes more curious about mathematics than prior to the lesson.
