I believe anyone can learn anything, it's just about learning it...

My goal is to make learning clear, effective, and even enjoyable!

Hello! I have two years of experience tutoring undergraduate students in Science, mostly Biology and Chemistry. I love bringing a student out of their shell and having a conversation about the material. I think the best way for anyone to learn is to explain the new information in different ways that relate back to their own life and having a conversation about the material is the easiest way to do that. In my spare time,...

I place an emphasis on giving each child the tools they need to figure things out for themselves, especially for math and hard sciences such as chemistry.

Learning technical subjects need not be cold and rigid - creativity is valuable in any subject! In...
