Duane - Know your tutor

My name is Duane Ryan Baptiste, and I have always been passionate about leveraging my experiences to assist others. Academically, I hold a bachelor's degree in Mathematics. Professionally, I bring to the table 8 years of tutoring experience, 5 years of teaching experience, and 3 years in leadership roles. Throughout my educational career, I have taught in various parts of the New York City Metropolitan Area and collaborated with leaders from diverse educational agencies, both large and small. I have worked with the City University of New York and the Human Resources Administration of New York State. Currently, I am a freelance tutor with Varsity Tutors, a national tutoring agency. Black Wisdom Concepts is a Supplemental Education Services program I developed to support learners from diverse backgrounds. To summarize its essence, it aims to bridge gaps in traditional education and enrich the knowledge we acquire in school. In the words of a notable book, "There are three types of knowledge: Inert knowledge, Activated Ignorance, and Activated Knowledge." My educational philosophy is rooted in the belief that learning should be applicable and relatable to our daily lives, rather than simply memorized and forgotten. My goal is to create a hub of knowledge that teaches essential life skills and enhances our appreciation for the education we receive in school.
