...unique learning styles. As a tutor in math and science subjects, I believe that the greatest (and most challenging) problem solving skill is being able to bridge the gap between the physical and the mathematical; to translate the world we inhabit into numerical relations. The teaching I do is centered around overcoming this barrier: equipping...

...the main keys to succeeding. Chemical Engineering, my major, is one of the most difficult fields to pursue, and it requires the abilities of communication, patience, and perseverance.
