Fun Facts

I love exercising and athletics (particularly basketball), movies and theatre, novels and documentaries. I enjoy connecting any challenge to a personal anecdote or situation to inspire motivation.

About Me

I am a single father, co-parenting a 13-year-old daughter in Sunnyside, Queens. I can support all core subjects, but the math gets difficult for me around Algebra 2 and Calculus, at least in a tutorial capacity. My strongest subject is ELA, and I specialize in public speaking and acting techniques.

Experience

I work with several agencies and institutions. I was a live-in nanny during college and started classroom teaching right out of college.

Approach

As a child, I missed a lot of school because I was in the hospital with a lot of respiratory problems. Keeping up with schoolwork was difficult and I was at remedial level. Luckily, along the way I had some tutors and teachers that helped me to take things step by step and “learn to learn” at a steady pace. The transformation in my work performance was magical to me and it is rewarding to pass on this empowerment to others.
