Hello! My name is Henry Wang and I'm an educator based in Brooklyn, New York. I got my undergraduate degree in Statistics and Economics from Harvard University, after which I worked in finance and tech for a few years. During those years, I began volunteering as a mentor and a tutor. Having tutored on and off since middle school, I always found tutoring to be a great way to both share my love of learning and form meaningful relationships. In fact, my positive experiences volunteering convinced me to go into teaching. I got a Masters in Education from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and taught three years of high school math and statistics at a charter school in Boston. In that time, I was lucky enough to play countless hours of volleyball and soccer at lunchtime, perform as a Thespian in several school plays and musicals, and serve as an advisor for the Model UN team.

Working with students in a school setting taught me that every student has a different way they want to learn. As a tutor, I find so much joy in figuring out the way a student learns best, and tailoring my teaching style to match. I also love to incorporate students’ interests and experiences into my materials to keep lessons relevant and important. In the future when my students reflect on our sessions, I hope they not only find that they gained useful skills and knowledge, but also that they genuinely enjoyed the process.

Outside of tutoring, I recently moved to New York and co-founded a company called After School Robotics. We build and sell an educational robot called Brainybot, which students program in order to learn computer science principles. In my free time, you can catch me playing soccer, biking around the city, or going to the movies.
