I believe there to be several different types of learning experiences. As a double major at NYU I saw several types of teaching styles that worked for me, and I appreciate that everyone has his/her own method. With this in mind, I try to provide a unique experience for each student, while covering all areas of subject matter. Personally I have excelled in all areas of the biological and physical sciences, as well as English and American Literature. These fields of study are diverse and intricate, and I have had great success and enjoyment learning and teaching in both.
