About Me

Hi! My name is Raz and I am a varsity tutor. This is my first year working as a varsity tutor and I am excited to meet and work with the brilliant young minds that make up our population. We are the future! YOU are the future! High school is an odd time for everybody, and sometimes we don't get the help we need to succeed in the manner in which works best for us. There have been times where I had questioned my own intelligence in high school because my approach to learning material was not consistent with the one being given to me. Nevertheless, there are strategies that can be used to learn and value education. I think that once someone has the ability to think, analyze and synthesize, success will come relatively easily and learning will actually be really fun. I promise that much. You are not correct answers, you are human. You are not failure. You just understand things in ways that best suit your experiences in life and your cognition. I want to be able to work with that, not change that, because that's the beauty of individual thought. If education is the road to success, then we have to make sure the vehicle that is driving us can develop fluency of the road. There are different kinds of vehicles, but they can all lead to the same path despite differences in speed and engines. I want to emphasize that despite these differences, everybody is capable. I am here to navigate, but ultimately, the student is the driver. You are the driver.

Q&A with Roz

My teaching philosophy is that there is a foundation/a history to all facts. I think that understanding the origin of a lot of practical knowledge solidifies and enriches an understanding, which will ultimately lead to practical success. I think that it is important to teach students that there are certain ways to approach problems, but that each problem is also unique, so not the same methods will be used. Eventually, I believe that the student will learn to internalize and intuitively understand how to react accordingly to each situation, which is fundamental to better understanding school work, as well as the world around us.
