I am a team-player, and hope to use this attribute to work with my students to reach their goals. Thus, I would describe my tutoring philosophy as entirely facilitative - I want to be there to help my students reach their goals on their own.

I am now applying to medical school and working with children and teens as a part-time clinical research associate and patient educator in the field of pediatric asthma at a prestigious academic medical center.
