The foundation of teaching is, undoubtedly, communication. Given my international history, attending eight schools across three continents before attending Princeton, paired with my academic study of theatre, I have always been passionate about education and exploring what makes an effective communicator.
My outlook on education is deeply rooted in customizing the learning experience to each student’s unique interests and objectives; it is essential to listen to the student’s needs while understanding exactly how his or her mind best processes information. As a tutor, I feel it is my responsibility to ensure that a student does not simply regurgitate the information, but internalizes it to the point where he or she is genuinely stimulated by and excited about the material.
In my spare time, I find myself performing or directing for the theatre, making music, or swimming.
