Bio

With a successful background in engineering and software development, Mr. Galli brings a wealth of mathematical and professional knowledge to his students at Franklin D. Roosevelt High School. Excelling as a teacher of AP Calculus, Mr. Galli also created the school’s math team, connecting students with a larger community of mathematics in New York City. In 2010, he expanded this vision by creating the South Brooklyn Invitational Math Competition, which is hosted at FDR and resembles the rigor and format of national competitions. According to a former student, “Mr. Galli’s classroom was like a shrine for us. It was a place of serious work and a place where we felt challenged, but it was also a place where we felt like we grew as students and human beings.”
