Hello! My name is Halle, and I am Princeton alumna and current NYU graduate student. I’m based out of New York City, but grew up in central Pennsylvania. I have been teaching a variety of subjects since I was in high school, but especially love working with students on mathematics and SAT test prep. In my post graduate professional experience, I have worked a lot in data analytics and data science and am very passionate about the real world applications of mathematics. As a result, this is one of my favorite subjects to teach!
Outside of teaching, I am also an accomplished composer and musician, and perform a lot in New York City and the surrounding area as a music director and singer. Additionally, while at Princeton, I wrote and produced an original musical!
