"Hi! My name is Simi and I'm currently pursuing a degree in Architecture at NYIT. Along with my studies, I am an active member of various organizations such as the Association for Coaching and Tutoring Profession (ACTP), National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS) and the American Institute of Architecture Students.
MY WHY ?
When I was younger, Math and Science were the subjects that made me feel the most isolated. Classmates would laugh at my mistakes, and even teachers seemed to believe I couldn’t keep up. There were days I felt defeated, like I just wasn’t "smart enough." Eventually, I started believing that maybe they were right. But over time, I realized something: I wasn’t incapable—I just learned differently.
Once I understood that it was okay to take a little longer or approach problems from a different angle, everything changed. I became determined to master the very subjects that used to intimidate me. And now, my mission is to help others see that they can do the same.
I know what it feels like to be told you're not enough, especially in Math and Science. Today, I teach because I want to be the person I wish I had back then—the one who says, “You can do this, and I’m going to help you get there.” Everyone deserves a chance to see their potential, and I’m here to make sure that happens for anyone who feels lost or overwhelmed in these subjects.
No one should ever feel like they don’t belong in Math and Science, and I’m here to show you that you do. You are more capable than you think, and I’m excited to help you discover that for yourself." less...
