I really enjoy tutoring these subjects because my students and I work together to understand the principles underlying the problems, which helps us remember everything better and makes studying more enjoyable.

...I enjoy people, and therefore also enjoy sharing information and coming up with new ways to present medical concepts. I know what it is like to put pressure on oneself to attain a specific grade or a specific title. I also know the profound effects of being able to demonstrate knowledge outside of the classroom. Once a student is addicted to understanding concepts, good grades follow in an effortless manner. On a personal note, I...
