In my years of learning from others, I have found that what sets a great teacher apart is their ability to make students truly understand a concept. A great teacher can lead students to find the reasons behind the solution, helping them far beyond a single question. It is with this understanding that I have strived to be the best teacher that I can. Starting my freshman year of high school, I volunteered to be a coach for my former middle school’s competitive math team. Each year, seeing students become more adept at math was extremely rewarding. In four years of coaching, the team has won two state championships and two state runner ups. My time teaching mathematics has resulted in some of my favorite memories of high school. I hope to continue to help students, through Princeton Tutoring, learn at a deeper and more lasting level.
In my free time, I enjoy playing pickup soccer and tennis. I also like playing cards, watching movies, and just hanging out with friends.
