About me

I’m a New York City-born, Midwest-raised son of immigrants, and I graduated from an Ivy League university in 2010. My lifelong devotion to mathematics and music led me to study both subjects in school, as well as taking significant coursework in French literature, science, and medieval studies. Ultimately, I chose to major in music and become a composer. I’m a native speaker of English and Spanish, proficient in French, and speak basic German.

I’ve been tutoring full-time in New York City for ten years and have worked with over 70 students. While most of my work has been with middle- and high-schoolers, my students have ranged from first graders to graduate students. I have significant experience working with students with learning and developmental differences, including autism, ADD, and ADHD; gifted and twice-exceptional students; and students for whom anxiety and depression impact their learning.

I regularly work with students for several years, and my students often refer me to their friends and siblings. Both my long-term and my SAT students have gained acceptance to the Ivy League, selective liberal arts colleges, and smaller schools that have met their needs. Most importantly, they’ve been happy with and proud of their final choices.
