"I believe tutoring is mostly about building a relationship with my students. When I was younger, I was blessed with a mentor who taught me so many of the ethics, morals, and philosophies that I know today. He also taught me about the importance of learning and education. His influence on me is the reason I am in college today."

Above all I believe that learning can be fun, that the pursuit of knowledge is important and ongoing, and that the skills it takes to succeed in school are worth developing because they’re important in life, too." ...

"This confidence is really helpful if your child underperforms due to test anxiety. I have developed syllabi for Introduction to Philosophy and Critical Thinking courses at San Francisco State University, as well as instructed those courses based on the syllabi I created. Along with lecturing for 3 classroom hours a week per course, I held two office hours a week per course. Office hours consist of one on one instruction with students that feel they need extra help in the course I was teaching."

"While I am there to help students so they feel more comfortable with the material, it is important to me that they arrive at the answer themselves so that they truly understand the concepts. As such, I do my best to guide students by asking them questions to lead them in the right direction but still make sure that they understand how they arrived at the best answer.
In my free time, I love going to movies, reading, and traveling. I hope to have the chance to work with you soon!."
