What do you like most about tutoring?
I most enjoy helping students to build their confidence with material they have found difficult, and helping to make it feel easier for them.
What subjects do you enjoy tutoring the most?
My favorite subjects to tutor are math, statistics, history, and English.
Why do you like working at Apt Tutoring?
I like the chance to work with students who are committed to being successful and are motivated to seek help to reach their goals.
What did you major in at college, and what was your favorite class?
In college, I majored in statistics and analytical economics. My favorite class was economics of sports, where we covered the finances of the pro and college sports industries.
What were your favorite extracurricular activities in high school or college?
My favorite extracurricular activity in high school was my school’s sports journalism club. In college, I joined the ski club and spent a lot of time on trips with them, and I also found a sports analytics club.
What do you like to do in your free time?
In my free time, I like to work out at the gym, go hiking, and play basketball. In the winter, I am also an avid skier.
What’s your favorite book, song (or band), snack food?
Book: The Shining. Band: OutKast (Song: B.O.B.) Snack Food: Swedish Fish.
Tell us about a favorite vacation.
I’m conflating multiple vacations here, but my family used to camp near North Conway, NH on Labor Day weekend every year, in a huge lot with extended family and friends. It was frequently my favorite weekend of the year.
If you could have a coffee with any person, dead or alive, who would you choose, and why?
I’d probably choose to have coffee with Bill Russell. I’d have plenty of basketball questions (players from today he’d like to play with, what it was like to guard Wilt Chamberlain, etc.) but also a few more serious questions like whether the NBA pressured him against taking part in the civil rights movement, or how tense the room was during the All-Star game strike in 1964 and how players handled that pressure.
Salty or sweet person? What is your favorite salty/sweet snack?
I’m generally a sweet person, but I already used Swedish Fish as the answer to a similar question, so my favorite salty snack is cashews.
Please tell us more fun facts about yourself!
I made a website to plot how good MLB hitters are against pitches in different locations.
I wrote NFL mock drafts every year from 2018-2024 (and resuming this year)
I taught both of my siblings how to ski after teaching myself by trying to keep up with friends.
