My ultimate goal is to aid in creating a life-time student. Especially in the ever-changing realm of science, it is vital to create a lifestyle that cultivates learning. While tutoring is step-by-step in nature, it is also important to have deeper overarching goals, motivations and structure to fall back on when things do not go as planned. I want to serve as a resource for every student I tutor, where judgment and strife is absent,...
