...for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics, and Computing (CEISMC) at Georgia Tech. I served as a camp counselor for the Center's camps.

...of education. When taking standardized tests and studying for classes, I found myself breaking down many problems to their core components, and after finding similar patterns with the types of questions asked, I realized how I could easily excel in standardized tests. After a summer teaching English in China and a whole school year as an active teaching assistant (personalized tutoring and lab instruction), I hope to continue my involvement with tutoring at Varsity Tutors!...

...prep, I believe that understanding the material is always more important than simply understanding the test. I teach specific testing strategies and tricks, but I ensure that at the heart of my tutoring is the academic material itself.

...prefer to ask the student lots of guiding questions, instead of didactically infusing them with answers. This method results in what I like to call "intellectual exhilaration," in other words, the student is excited because they were able to create something out of themselves, instead of being imbued with the ideas of others something sort of rare for children, teens, and college students at times. I look forward to studying with you!

...difficult material. My ultimate goal is to help my students truly comprehend the material, and be able to apply what they have learned when encountering new problems and questions.

Concepts first, details later....

For the past few years, I have also tutored students independently, primarily focusing on Algebra/Algebra 2, Physics, and Chemistry.
