I found it very important to not only help the children I tutored to rebuild their confidence, but to also let them know that success is dependent on how much effort they put into their studies.

I am currently in the University Honors program at The Ohio State University studying computer science engineering with a math minor.

My goal is to help others understand different topics, not memorize a set...
