...students. I tutor a wide range of subjects including history, writing, and math. I am passionate about each of them for different reasons.

What is most important to me, however, is that students feel...

I'm a senior bioengineer hoping to pass on my love for science and learning to a younger generation!...

Then, I'd ask about school and see what they need help with and ask them to walk me through an example problem so I can see the way they're thinking.
