Rohen Shah

May 23, 2025

Dr. Rohen Shah is a Lecturer in the Department of Economics at Yale University. He received his PhD from the University of Chicago, where he specialized in behavioral economics. He has previously worked in Ed Tech, and his YouTube videos on mathematics, statistics, and economics have collectively received millions of views. He deeply believes that any complex subject can be broken down and understood by any student, with the right tutor.

Rohen has spent the past 20 years mastering the craft of tutoring, having had over 15,000 hours of experience working with over 1,000 students. He tutors all levels of math from middle school through calculus, including the quantitative sections of standardized tests such as the ACT, SAT, DAT, GRE, and GMAT. He specializes in tutoring for the AP Exams in Statistics, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Calculus AB, and Calculus BC. He has also served as an instructor for courses at the University of Michigan, University of Chicago, and as a middle and high school math teacher. He was the winner of the National Tutoring Association’s 2018 Tutor of the Year Award.

In addition to his deep content expertise, Rohen has a master’s in education from the University of Michigan, enabling him to employ evidence-based teaching strategies. He customizes the tutoring plan based on the learning goal: improving a standardized test score in a given amount of time requires a different approach than doing well in a year-long course. He believes in starting with “why does this matter?” when explaining a new topic, and connecting it to students’ prior knowledge. He teaches quantitative topics in layers: a concept is first discussed intuitively in full, followed by overlaying math onto this foundation, and finally applying it so that students can transfer the concept to other contexts.

In his free time, Rohen enjoys playing video games (such as Zelda) and plays the Tabla (an Indian musical instrument). He enjoys mentoring young entrepreneurs to develop their business ideas. From 2016-2019, Rohen co-founded a non-profit organization where he wrote and performed educational rap songs around the country.

Abigail Jenson

January 23, 2025

Abigail Jenson is patient, calm and supportive. Her experiences in education range from PreK to middle and high school students. She is from Utah, where she studied Family and Consumer Science Education at Brigham Young University. In June of 2024, she left her beloved job teaching child development, early childhood education, sewing, and fashion design to high school students to pursue a master’s degree at New York University in Environmental Conservation Education. She currently holds a teaching certificate for the New York State Education Department for Family and Consumer Science Education. Within her teaching experience, she has assisted in curriculum development, spoken at leadership and educator conferences, collaborated with colleagues creating learning resources, and participated in professional development opportunities. She genuinely enjoys being a teacher in formal and informal settings and values her students and relationships built in the process of teaching and learning together.

As a private tutor, she meets her students where they are at. Her approach begins with the student: their goals, understanding, challenges, and diverse learning needs. She incorporates scaffolding techniques that support student learning at a comfortable pace and yet challenging enough to promote greater understanding. Abigail has a strong understanding of developmentally appropriate practices that contributes to her ability to support student learning across a broad range of ages and learning needs. She has strong executive functioning skills, including adaptability, organization, problem solving, planning, and prioritization.

When she isn’t teaching, she is making and creating! She stays busy altering and making wedding gowns for clients, as well as running a business making and selling apparel and, more recently, technical outdoor gear she designs and sews from recycled materials. Her true colors shine when she is in the creative process, whether it’s designing a functional bag, making a Claymation, or writing a poem. As a lover of nature, she is passionate about educating people about the environment and motivating people to act for the conservation of the planet. Some day she hopes to run a business of her own teaching people how to sew and repair their own clothing and understand the complex impacts clothing production and consumption have on the environment.

Ida Munoz

October 29, 2024

Ida Munoz has been a NYC DOE public school teacher since 2005. Her career started at the PS 90 campus and she has happily remained on the same campus for the past 20 years. She has taught special class instruction, integrated co-teaching and special education teacher support services. She is currently the reading intervention teacher, special education coordinator and chairperson for the School Leadership Team at PS 443, The Family School, which is housed at the PS 90 campus in the Bronx. Aside from her direct work with special education students, she has also served in various capacities within the school building such as teaching mentor, teacher leader, testing coordinator, and building response team member. She received her B.A. at Hunter College with a major in writing. She continued her education at Pace University where she earned her Master’s degree in childhood special education along with her bilingual extension in Spanish.

Ida has taught and privately tutored a wide range of students from preschool through 8^th grade in both English and Spanish. She has a firm belief that all children can learn, they just have to be given the appropriate tools to showcase their learning. She uses a variety of methodologies to support her instruction to ensure that every child is able to showcase what they know.

Ida is currently on her school’s instructional leadership team and she is helping design and make changes to the writing curriculum at The Family School. Her work is data driven and she has an understanding on how to interpret that data and make changes to best meet the needs of all students. She also believes that her tutoring work needs to be based on data. She will access her student’s entry points, progress monitor throughout her tutoring session and make changes based on a student’s current need. Every student’s tutoring experience is unique and different and their tutoring program should reflect that.

Ida believes that students learn best when they feel they are in a secure environment. She always reminds her students that it is okay to make mistakes and that they are there to learn from those mistakes. She also believes that learning should be fun and enjoyable for every student. When a student enjoys what that are doing that is when true learning takes place. She will often find tools to help keep students motivated and engaged.

Aside from teaching, Ida enjoys traveling with her family. Her favorite place to vacation is the Dominican Republic. She is a proud mom of an autistic 3-year-old son. She spends a lot of her time advocating for all children on the spectrum. She also enjoys learning how to make new recipes and likes to spend a lot of time in the kitchen cooking for her family.
