I always find teaching math to students to be gratifying, and I hope to share some of my love for math with my students.

...range of subjects, I particularly have a passion for reading, writing, essay prep, and theater. I am an enthusiastic and involved teacher, and believe that learning should be fun and interactive.

I do my absolute best to provide a positive, fun, engaging experience for students which focuses on their potential to succeed...

As a tutor, my goal is of course to help you maximize your success in school and standardized tests. But it's also (again, hopefully) to make room for curiosity, and to remind students, at least a little bit, about what can be fun about learning new things.
