I first started cooking because I enjoyed watching cooking shows. I tried few recipes, and I wanted to get better at it. Moreover, cooking food...

...it. Education has opened up so many doors for me, and this is largely because I was fortunate to have some amazing teachers growing up who made learning fun (or at the very least not miserable). My goal is to do the same for each one of the students who I work with, and find ways to make even the most abstract concepts or complex math problems "click" in a student's mind.... Individualization is key. Find...

...by doing, and if I am solving a problem for a student, then they are not absorbing that information as well as they could be if they were actively pursuing a solution themselves. This is a strategy that has served me well thus far, and I have personally watched students improve vastly under this philosophy. As important as efficient studying techniques are, being able to kick back and relax is just as crucial. When I...

...to approach complex concepts. For example, I might steer a writing student studying organic chemistry to explain a reaction as a narrative of molecular interactions, rather than beginning with a complex problem. In the context of shifting careers, I have also taken a number of standardized tests, including the SAT, ACT, GRE, and MCAT.
