I believe that the best way to learn is to break down each topic to its core concepts so that the student understands each concept.

Life has given me many chances to learn, and I hope to give that same opportunity to others through Varsity Tutors.

I am a well-rounded individual with an ability to relate and connect with students and adults of all ages. This is especially due...
