...and create. As an English tutor, I believe it is my role to support the academic development of students and help them become effective communicators.

...University working towards a pharmacy degree, while minoring in Biology and Chinese. I first started tutoring in high school through peer tutoring, working with students younger than me and tutoring them in subjects that I had excelled in.

I really enjoy working with students and...

As someone who has endured multiple standardized tests and successfully completed high school and college, I understand the importance of tutors.

...booklet, reading an instructional manual or an obscure book for pleasure in a library corner, we are engaging with the words and ideas of others and measuring them for their value, use and relevance.
