When I'm not teaching, I enjoy pretty much any activity that gets me outside, especially if that outside happens to be in the woods or near the beach (I am from Florida after all...).

While strengths are the first things I look to highlight, weaknesses are all I care about as a tutor and I will make sure you know what they are.
