Empowering students through mindfulness

Cooper Z.

I am excited to apply as a tutor, leveraging my educational background, professional experience, and passion for teaching and mentorship.

I hold a Master’s in Information Systems Management with a focus on Business Intelligence & Data Analytics (with AI/ML) from Carnegie Mellon University and a Bachelor of Arts in Economics with minors in Business Studies, Computer Science, and Art History from New York University. My education combines technical, analytical, and creative disciplines, equipping me with a diverse knowledge base to guide students effectively.

Teaching and Tutoring Experience

- High School Tutoring at Kumon: I worked with elementary students to build foundational skills in mathematics and reading.
- Private Tutoring: During high school, I tutored middle school students and adults in English, math, and science. This experience ranged from one-on-one sessions to small group settings, tailoring my methods to individual learning styles.
- Community Engagement and Mentorship: As part of my involvement with Rotary International, I mentor middle and high school students, helping them develop academic and life skills, including mindfulness and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) techniques.

Teaching Methods and Philosophy | I take a student-centered approach, prioritizing mindfulness and personalized strategies to help learners control their focus and unlock their potential. I integrate techniques from DBT to encourage emotional regulation and resilience, fostering both academic and personal growth.

I am deeply passionate about Literature, Philosophy, and Science and strive to connect these disciplines to students’ everyday lives. My technical and analytical expertise allows me to tutor advanced subjects, while my love for humanities ensures a well-rounded approach.

Why I Tutor
I believe education is transformative, and my goal as a tutor is to empower students to take charge of their learning, build confidence, and achieve their goals.
