Fun Facts

Playing soccer with my friends has always been a rewarding activity for me. Every day after school, we play soccer at a nearby field. These daily games have helped me to cope with stress. In fact, I tend to be more relaxed and engaged in my homework after a game of soccer. In addition, soccer itself is a very intense sport that helps me to stay fit. Apart from soccer, I have a passion for playing the piano. In fact, I've taken lessons for about six years, which has been a memorable experience.

About Me

I am a freshman Electrical Engineering major at Macaulay Honors College at the City College of New York, and my ultimate goal is to earn a PhD in this field and become a professor. As of now, my interests lay in the semiconductor field. My passion for engineering grew at a very young age, as I lived among relatives who were pursuing careers in the same or similar fields. Teaching has also been one of my passions, and I hope to use the knowledge I gain through tutoring in the future.

Experience

This is not the first time I've tutored. My "career" began in 2012, when I joined the Kumon Learning Center to help students in advanced math. In 2014, I began working for Yonkers Public School as a district mentor, in which I trained high school students to become successful in online NYS Regents and AP courses. Then, in the summer of 2015, I had the opportunity to be a part of the Yonkers Summer STEM Program, in which I served as a teacher and leader to guide students in science experiments.

Approach

One of my biggest fears as a student was being the "slow" one in class. It took me some time to realize that everyone learns differently and that how quickly you grasp a material has nothing to do with how well you do in school. For example, I think tutoring Abraham, my neighbor, not only developed his math-related skills but also his awareness of what success entails. Working with Abraham helped him unveil his intellectual capacity, and I hope to do the same with other students.
