I believe that only through practice will you master the skills needed to succeed and excel in your school work or on the standardized test you are preparing for. I have worked very hard throughout my (very long) education and training, but I have also enjoyed learning at...

...use my knowledge and deep love for world history and literature to encourage focused research. I couple this with contextual information. Again, if a student can learn the greater importance of an event or of an author's main argument and styles, they learn more than basic information to repeat in a test: they begin to master the information and use it to approach new material with greater preparedness. I always want the learner's outcome to...

My favorite subject to teach would be math as it allows me to break down seemingly complicated concepts into easier ones for students to understand. I have both been tutored and have been tutoring since I was quite young so I know a variety of effective methods. I know firsthand the stress and frustration...

I care greatly about the details and hold firm that quality always matters.

I love exercising and enjoying good food, and...
