About Dina

I'm a third-year undergraduate student at Columbia University, majoring in Financial Economics. I have been a co-coach, and judge for the NYC Urban Debate League for six years. During this time, I taught middle schoolers how to construct, develop, and refute an argument in order to improve their public speaking skills. Weekly classes were held each week in preparation for tournaments. I and my past students have competed in tournaments primarily focusing on political topics such as implementation of sanctions on China, deployment of U. S. troops to Venezuela, etc. I'm very responsible and reliable. I will respond to texts and calls within the same day. I'm very patient with students in which I always try to find different ways of explaining a concept by providing various examples. I hold very high expectations for myself and challenge my capabilities when needed. To me, the best feeling is when a child has fully grasped a concept in which he or she had been struggling with.
