My interest in tutoring stems from my love of learning and passion in sharing the learning process with others. I have roughly two years of experience tutoring one-on-one and at learning centers in both high school and college. My hobbies and interested include Jogging, hiking, yoga, reading, language learning, traveling, video gaming and comic books. ...
