Fun Facts
Even at age 74, I still ski whenever possible
About Me
I am a retired doctor who loves to teach and see kids aspire to new heights
Experience
I've taught standardized tests (including the ACT, SAT, GMAT, GRE, MCAT, and even the LSAT)as well as math (through calculus),chemistry, and physics for over 20 years with spectacular results.
Approach
I teach subjects the way they should have been taght in the first place and will not move on until my students can teach me!
