I have experience tutoring and/or taking coursework in all subjects listed. I have worked...

...largely because I have so many areas of interests and have been privileged enough to pursue knowledge in those areas. I even enjoy tucking away "useless facts"...in fact, those very tidbits got me past the Jeopardy! Online Test and into the Contestant Audition!

...If there's one thing I'm sure of, it's that I genuinely enjoy tutoring. I'm also a "professional" student. I say this because absorbing, analyzing, and integrating knowledge from my medical courses are necessary skills for my own academic success. And so, I am more than happy to share my study strategies, techniques, and tips with students. My strengths lie within the sciences (e.g. AP Biology, Biochemistry, AP Chemistry), followed by mathematics. I also enjoy teaching...

...unnecessary in a way. My strengths (in school and tutoring) are in foreign languages including Latin and humanitiesexpect a very enthusiastic tutor especially if we are talking about Shakespeare! I also think it is important to try and frame things in a context students are used to, so if that means watching She's the Man in order to understand Twelfth Night, then that's what we will do (although we do have to read the actual...

...and found the experience both enjoyable and rewarding. Helping people understand and excel where understanding and excellence seemed impossible--this has driven me to seek every opportunity to help others academically, as I find great joy and fulfillment in doing so.

...and a chaotic home life. Dr. King had my IQ tested, then set about making sure the school gave me useful and creative outlets.

I don't know why it took me so long to realize I was born to be a teacher, particularly after the stellar example in Dr. King of what a teacher can mean in a child's...

...Greek and Latin but also history, literary criticism, and of course persuasive writing. I can consequently teach subjects ranging from Latin to English literature and composition.

In the sciences, I have had exposure to biochemistry,...
