About me
Hi! My name is Phillip, and I'm a sophomore at NYU Stern studying Finance and Data Science. I have a wide experience with standardized testing for STEM subjects, especially the SAT Math and various AP Exams, and I'm happy to provide help where I can. I look forward to helping students through academic guidance so they can achieve their goals!
I have 4 years of one-on-one tutoring experience during high school for subjects like Math and Physics, both in person and online. I make sure to explain each concept thoroughly so that my students truly understand each underlying component of a topic, and adapt my style for individuals student's strengths and needs.
