What do you like most about tutoring?
Helping students be successful. It’s very rewarding to teach or explain math concepts to a student who is not sure of how to solve math problems. Having them understand the process and arrive at a solution is wonderful to see.
What subjects do you enjoy tutoring the most?
All math courses and levels from grades 7-12.
Why do you like working at Apt Tutoring?
Great management, friendly, professional tutors, and an excellent environment for optimal teaching and learning.
What did you major in at college, and what was your favorite class?
I was a liberal arts major at Villanova University, which means I enrolled in a variety of science, math, English, philosophy, psychology, and business classes. My favorite class was a physiology class, where we studied the effects of exposure to different external stimuli on animals. In graduate school at Boston College, I majored in finance.
What do you like to do in your free time?
I like to work out, listen to music, play basketball, sail, golf, and do yard work. I spend quality time with my three daughters and all the grandkids.
What’s your favorite book, song, or band?
I enjoy reading; I read at least two books per month. It's mostly fiction, but I do like non-fiction books as well. There are so many great music artists. How do you select? I like old-school music, such as the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and CSNY, but the 1980s had great music as well.
Tell us about a favorite vacation
Family trip to Disney World with my wife and three daughters. Great family time! How can you beat Tower of Terror and Rocking Rollercoaster for rides?
If you could have a coffee with any person dead or alive? Who would you choose and Why?
Probably my parents because I miss them so much and it would be fun to talk with them about everything. I might also select Presidents Washington, Adams, and Jefferson. To speak with the early great leaders would be cool.
Salty or sweet person?
Both. My favorite food is seafood.
Fun Fact
I have a fraternal twin brother.
