...Literature and History. I greatly enjoy helping others understand difficult subjects and am an avid learner myself. My tutoring style derives primarily from helping friends throughout the years. In my experience, there is almost no subject out of reach of a passionate and curious mind.

...element of societal mobility. One may be born into status, but with education they can navigate their network and privilege. One may be born into destitute circumstances, but with their education can rise above their situation. One of the only things that a child should not have to earn is their right to knowledge. Education is a human right. Every single child should be fully equipped to chose their own path in life. Every student...

...from a wide variety of personal backgrounds and experience. Everybody learns differently, and my job is to communicate information and concepts to students in ways that are most effective for them.

As the senior research assistant, I was responsible for training incoming research students in standard laboratory practices including proper animal handling and lab safety practices. Over...

...my siblings, I also tutored a third-grader, from September 2020 all the way till June 2021.

...scores vastly improve, I am concerned about the child's total success. I not only seek to give them the right tools to succeed but also encourage them to believe that when they try, they can improve and succeed. An example of my work includes a student who spoke English as a second language and also had special needs. As I worked with him daily, his reading level increased ten levels and his math scores went...

...particular favorite subject to teach. My joy comes from watching someone grasp a new skill or concept that they did not have, or think they have. I believe we all can learn something new everyday.
