Daniel is an experienced mathematics teacher and tutor with over 20 years of experience. He got his first taste of tutoring while in high school and was hooked! With a degree in Mathematics, since then he’s worked as a math instructor for NYU Tandon School of Engineering and a remote math teacher/tutor. As such, he’s worked with students of different ages, backgrounds, and needs. This has included high school/college-level topics such as PreCalculus, Calculus, Linear Algebra, Statistics, and more, as well as prepping students for the SAT®, ACT, AP®, and IB exams.
Most important to Daniel’s educational philosophy is to help students feel confident by not only arming them with knowledge but also helping them to think broadly about question types and patterns, as well as coaching students to explain complicated solutions through relevant but simplified examples. To that end, Daniel finds it important to approach a session empathetically – to put himself in the student’s shoes and treat himself as a peer rather than a superior.
Outside of working in mathematics education, you can find him enjoying world cuisine, listening to podcasts, volunteering, or playing a retro video game or two.
