I led a team of tutors and designed and implemented a comprehensive tutoring plan for 10-20 Rochester city school students. My goal was to provide personalized instruction and guidance to help these students prepare for the SAT, ACT, and New York State Exams. I worked closely with school administrators and teachers to identify student needs and develop individualized learning plans. As a result of our efforts, we saw a 20% increase in student test scores and improved academic performance. Demonstrating my commitment to community service and education, I volunteered over 100 hours of my time to help these students achieve academic success and access higher education opportunities. Through my work as a head tutor, I learned the importance of tailoring instruction to meet individual student needs and the transformative impact of education on individuals and communities.
I honed my problem-solving skills by tackling complex puzzles and challenges with little information and a high degree of uncertainty in the yearly MIT mystery hunt. I learned the value of persistence and the importance of collaborating with others to share knowledge and expertise, resulting in successful completion of several challenging puzzles. Through this experience, I developed the ability to break down problems into manageable components, apply critical thinking and creative problem-solving techniques, and work effectively in a team environment. These skills have proven valuable in my work as a data scientist, where I am often faced with complex problems and incomplete information, and must rely on my ability to work collaboratively and persist in finding solutions.
Leading a successful adult USTA team that won states multiple times and was competitive on a national level provided me with the opportunity to develop my leadership and teamwork skills.
