I am a researcher and educator. I'm skeptical of received wisdom, have made a habit of getting paid to travel around the world, and love the outdoors and reading. Let's master your subject, but more importantly, master the art of learning and figure out why you're doing it.

...BA in Psychology. I plan to attend dental school in the future. My experience tutoring Biology and Math has taught me the importance of getting through to each student as an individual, and that every person's learning style is different.

I also minored in child development to better understand how brains learn differently across the lifespan; as a result, I understand ways to tailor my tutoring practice to the age of the student I'm working with.
