About
I just finished the 2 year International Baccalaureate diploma program. It is a very rigorous program and the courses I took and studied for two years were chemistry, biology, math (covered calculus, vectors, trigonometry, algebra, statistics, probability, etc), latin (winner of gold medal 2 times in National Latin Exam), history (studied Great Depression era, Communist China, USSR, and Cuba in great depth). I was in the National Honor Society and ran many clubs. I was president of the student body, so I have a good connection with students of all ages (my school ranged from 7th to 12th grade). I have spent many years tutoring my younger brother, friends, and some other children at an afterschool program.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I think it's important to first establish a connection with the student and then figure out exactly what they need help with in the subject. Oftentimes students will think they have a grasp on a topic that they do not have a total understanding of and this leads to problems in other topics. So I think it is important to have a diagnostic/placement test or have recommendations from other teachers the student has.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I was an IB diploma candidate and studied the following subjects in depth during the two year course:
*biology
*chemistry
*english
*latin
*math
*history of the americas
My coursework, report cards, recommendations can be seen at request!
Besides academic-wise, I have a good connection as a teacher and leader. I was student body president for my 7th-12th grade school this past year. I also was a student mentor. I ran many clubs one which volunteered with children and we spent a lot of time with Children's Hospital Boston patients.
