Andre’s life has been defined by the water since he was just two-years-old, beginning with lessons in Forest Hills, Queens, before graduating to the competitive lanes of "The Gators" swim team. That lifelong bond with the pool eventually led Andre to lifeguarding, where watching lessons sparked a new passion: the teaching lifestyle! Currently an Accounting major at Baruch College, Andre brings a competitive edge and a coach’s heart to every lesson -- skills he also uses to lead his brother’s CYO basketball team. For Andre, success is measured in smiles; he believes that when a student is having fun, confidence soars. Whether he’s interning at an accounting firm or researching body health, Andre is always striving for the best.
