Hello,
My name is Albert and I am a rising Sophomore at New York University in the college of Arts and Science. I am majoring in Neural Science and minoring in Chemistry and Philosophy through the pre-medicine track.
First, let me say my belief. I believe that self-realization is just as important as doing well in academics. I will push my students in doing problems, but more so, I will talked to them in the hopes that they can see the beauty in the subjects that I teach. Once the dots are connected, everything will seem much easier.
I have been moving around every year of my high school life so I know how to adapt to different situations/environments. I am very passionate towards academics, as it is the foundation to our society.
I believe that people should be well balanced. And so, I don't just study, I also love to play sports. I have been doing Tae Kwon Do since I was 3. On and off of course. I've been a state champion in Minnesota, Michigan and Massachusetts. I also played Rugby; I served as co-president and team coordinator for two years in high school. I enjoy a wide variety of music, including jazz, pop, rap, classical. And of course I was online TV sometimes. My two favorites are The Office and How I Met Your Mother. :)
Coming (recently) from Indiana to New York City, I consider myself very successful so far as a 1st year in NY. I am in many clubs, including Biology Society, Tae Kwon Do, Freshmen Advisory Board, Rubin Tutoring, etc. I am currently doing a research internship at NYU medical center in the cardio-pulmonary department.
My most proud moment at NYU is being accepted as a NYU orientation leader. This is a program that picked 24 students out of 250 applicants (9 newcomers, which includes myself). The selection was based on responsibility, ability to communicate clearly, grades, street smartness, social skills, punctuality, kindness and sincerity. To put it in few words, the 24 of us represent NYU. We would run summer orientation for Freshmen who are interested in coming to New York University. We run shows, programs, workshops, registration, residential duty, etc. After this program was over, (aside from being sad) I realized how much I love working with fellow students.
We are the next generation. In order to succeed, we must build ourselves to be stronger.
In regards to tutoring position, here are some information:
- I have been tutoring since 9th grade in high school.
- high school GPA: 3.75
- NYU GPA: 3.31
- AP tests:
> Calculus BC: 4
> Biology: 5
- SAT score: 1410/1600. 2080/2400. >> Math: 800
- SAT II: math II C: 800, Biology: 700, Korean: 790
- Awards: Student of the month for Calculus BC, English Honors, High Honor Roll, NYU Balanced Man Competition finalist. Just to name a few
Like I said before, I am just like every other student; I like to play sports, listen to music, and do some volunteer work.
I can make studying a wonderful experience. And aside from being a tutor, I am also a friend and a mentor for any student's future.
Thanks!
