New York, NY Tutor

About Me

I tutor students in grades 4-12 in Reading, Writing, and Math, including students with special needs. I am typically available Wednesday evenings, but please contact me in regards to other times. I prefer to meet at an east-side NY Public Library (Aguilar Library @ 110th, 96th Street Library, or 58th Street Library are best). Other locations can be arranged.

I have been teaching for over four years, and began tutoring seven years ago. I started my work in education as a Teach For America corps member with the belief that every student deserves and excellent education. My work as a tutor is an extension of this belief. I am particularly passionate about supporting students with special needs, as I have been working as a middle and high school special education teacher. I am constantly looking for new, creative ways to engage students in material. In particular, I look toward new technology as a means for opening up the world of educational exploration.

Outside of teaching, I am a dedicated musician who enjoys singing and performing. I use this energy and creativity in all that I do. I also know that building a strong, reliable relationship is such an important part of learning, and hope to get to know you soon!

Aaron is an experienced teacher who has had great success in working with children and teens that struggle with learning. He is exceptional in creating inventive ways to make math, reading, and writing both interesting and accessible based upon the individual needs of each student. Importantly, he does so while maintaining high expectations for grade-level academic achievement as well as teaching students to be critical thinkers!

We just had our first session with Aaron and I 'm already looking forward to the next. He was prepared, professional, dynamic, and insightful - all while simultaneously appealing to my not-enthusiastic-about-getting-a-tutor 7th grader. He had good feedback and great strategies for my son.

This was our son 's first session with Aaron and we feel that is was very successful. We are looking forward to work with Aaron in the future.
