...Harvard College studying Economics and Neurobiology. Since junior high, I have been a tutor, and I am comfortable whether the subject is English, calculus, or biology. I believe knowledge is most useful when you're able to integrate it into your everyday life. To that end, I would seek to learn from you and listen to your interests, and then find ways to show the hidden connections between the subject under study and your everyday life.

...in a library corner, we are engaging with the words and ideas of others and measuring them for their value, use and relevance. Thinking is never done in total isolation anyway but rather is always a social exercise and activity. The best teaching and learning then, I think, allows us to consider knowledge, from the most practical to the most abstract, as both social exercise and activity. This means, as exercise, that we get comfortable...
