| I have had a passion for computers since age 12, when I used my first TRS-80, and a love of mathematics since I first learned to count. I attended Swarthmore College and majored in Mathematics, while working two main jobs on the side: Assisting students in the computer lab as well as tutoring individuals and small groups in various math topics. My twin interests in math and computers followed me to New York City. For the last 10 years, I've worked full-time in the IT field, in a variety of industries but mainly focused on publishing (see Employment History to the right.) Alongside my full time work, I have always done a variety of computer consulting projects for individuals, small business and non-profits. I have also offered tutoring services focused mainly in math, on a private basis and also as a volunteer tutor and teacher at The Door, a youth services center, and in the NYC public school system. I've gained significant experience in clarifying mathematical concepts for students with a very wide variety of backgrounds and learning styles, on topics ranging from basic arithmetic to business math to college-level coursework. I am very familiar with the New York City curriculum and with the exams (New SAT, Regents, etc.) that NYC students face. |
