My goal as a tutor is to help give student context for the material they're working on. I believe that if a student understands the importance of a given subject and why they need to learn it, then learning will feel more relevant and students will become more engaged. Most importantly though, I never want my students to be afraid to ask questions!

Tutoring is about a lot more than studying, tests, and knowledge. I believe the interpersonal relationship involved with teaching greatly benefits both parties. Learning is fundamental to life- and turning otherwise cumbersome and difficult tasks like passing a hard class into a lightbulb moment is where I find my satisfaction. Turning such a familiar struggle into newfound realization and understanding is what I aim for.
