Bio

As a double degree graduate of the University of Rochester and the Eastman School of Music with decades of teaching experience ranging from secondary through the collegiate levels in math and music, tutoring need not be a measure of last resort to merely achieve a passing grade but, even if it is, I will help raise the student's awareness of the chosen field and its interdependence to other areas of learning via a methodology that underscores competency and does not permit failure.

As a double degree graduate of the University of Rochester and the Eastman School of Music with decades of teaching experience ranging from secondary through the collegiate levels in math and music, tutoring need not be a measure of last resort to merely achieve a passing grade but, even if it is, I will help raise the student's awareness of the chosen field and its interdependence to other areas of learning via a methodology that underscores competency and does not permit failure.

Whether it be the 3 Rs or preparation in the performing arts, a remarkable instructor must go well beyond the subject matter at hand and help imbue the student with a spirit of wonder that, in due time, will foster enthusiasm necessary for excellence.

A child emulates and learns to communicate in his or her mother-tongue through a supporting and nurturing environment. Likewise, a student needs to be sufficiently motivated to embrace learning in a familiar supportive manner.

Great math tutor. Brushed up on math skills I hadn't used in years.

Before working with this tutor I did not believe I had a very good chance of doing well on the math portion of the GRE. I have been out of college for almost ten years and although I did well in math, had not been using those skills in my daily life. During the lessons Farobag presented a series of challenging math problems for me to solve. Some of them I was completely stumped on, but he would give me enough hints to solve them on my own so when I see them on the test I will know how to solve them. He gave me some important formulas to memorize for the test. The scores I am getting on my practice tests are much higher then they were before and I am now confident that I will be able to get a decent score on the exam. Farobag is also very patient. There was a time when I missed an appointment and we just rescheduled. He is very flexible when it comes to scheduling.
