I am a young Wall Street retiree with degrees in Mathematics, Computer Science and Finance. I have tutored students in Mathematics since my days on the Math Team at Stuyvesant High School. I was a high school math teacher for a brief time; more recently, I taught Probability and Statistics at Stony Brook University, where I was awarded the President’s Award for Excellence in Teaching. The motto of the Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society is "Love of learning is the guide of life". I live my own life by this ideal, and I try my best to instill a love of learning in my students. Too many students believe, indeed have been taught, that math is just a series of formulas and recipes to be learned and memorized. Understanding concepts doesn’t seem to be necessary or even desirable. No wonder students “hate” math! I believe that understanding important concepts is essential to learning math, and

As a graduate of a liberal arts college and a graduate program of a Jesuit university, I am a strong supporter of the process of learning and how to optimize that proces for each individual.

After Hartwick and prior to entering Georgetown, I worked for an administrative division of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in several capacities, each of which required writing statements about complex policies and outstanding issues, many of which statements were distributed to to the Governor's and Speaker's offices, as well as published in The Boston Globe and Boston Herald.

My teaching style is a combination of serious, in-depth theory and practical examples to demonstrate such theories, all with a hint of humor, followed by significant practice of the newly learned skills. I've been "teaching" people all of my business career. I always start with the underlying theory and immediately segue into a practical example of how the principles work. I think students want to learn, but need the information presented in a way that makes learning interesting, not boring. I have that ability. I'm able to integrate relevant practical examples because I have a very broad range of experience, having been an entrepreneur and turnaround management consultant for over 40 years. I taught a computer "cap-stone" class to graduating seniors part-time at the Katherine Gibbs school for 1 semester. There were approximately 14 Seniors in the class and we utilized all of th

It seemed I was always studying for something during the first 25 years of my life. First it was accounting in college followed by the CPA exam and then graduate school at night. I always enjoyed being a student and took advanced math classes including calculus with analytic geometry I & II. I am an avid reader and believe the book is always better than the movie!! I love teaching and working with children of all ages. I believe in a constructivist learning theory which suggests that learning is more effective when a student is actively engaged in the learning process rather than attempting to receive knowledge passively. It is a guided discovery where I will lead my student through questions and activities to discover, discuss, appreciate and verbalize the new knowledge. All students can achieve their academic goals if given the appropriate support and instruction that fits their per

I have been tutoring Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics since an undergraduate student. I also tutored English in Europe for several years and prepared my students for the TOEFL. I have been also teaching economics and finance because in 1995 I took the series 7&63 stockbroker licence and in 2000 I passed the LIFA, licensed international financial analyst exam. My teaching style concentrates on the task I ought to solve. If I teach a group of people, I give a brief exam first. Tutoring individuals allows me to concentrate on one person and develop a winning strategy to motivate and teach the student for the given subject. Repetition, breaking down complex problems to simple ones and enthusiastic explanation is mainly my style. I am always adjusting to the individual who has to learn.
