...one-on-one tutoring. Last summer, I tutored with Breakthrough and taught rising eighth graders algebra. During school, I would lead math tutoring sessions once a week during lunch, helping with students with anything from arithmetic to linear algebra.

In my free time I like to write, loudly belt songs and...
