Richa: Worth tutor
Certified Tutor
I enjoy working with everybody. I have ELL teaching experience. I can help with essay writing, research help, citation, and essay reviews.
I can also tutor for elementary math. I give importance to your needs and follow an interactive approach. I have about two years of experience as a tutor at my university's writing center. I like to understand the students' needs and interests. It will allow the student to have their say and stay interested in the session.
I majored in International Studies and have a minor in Economics. I am currently in a transition year after college and hope to get into a Master's program in Economics or Public Policy. I enjoy biking, and reading during my commute. My favorite TV show right now is The Mindy Project. I am a fan of Doctor Who. I am currently reading The Motorcycle Diaries. I am also a Potterhead (Ravenclaw).
