"I am currently earning a MS in Global Medicine at USC, and I plan to attend medical school next fall. I've been tutoring for Varsity Tutors since my sophomore year of college. My tutoring method is based on the fundamental relationship between the teacher and the student; I like to reach a safe space where the student feels comfortable with both knowing and not knowing the answer, where they will be able to develop their personal skills as well as their academic prowess. I believe that everyone has potential to do well, though the arena for success might differ greatly from individual to individual." ...

"I received my Juris Doctorate in May 2012 and sat for the California Bar Exam in July 2012. I'm waiting for my results, and boy is it nerve-wracking!

I tutored for a major test prep company for three years while at Berkeley and am excited to get back to tutoring! I tutor LSAT and SAT primarily and love working with students to strategize and improve their scores. My philosophy about test prep is largely based around the understanding that the material is all doable, with the right timing and the right approach." ...
