...a M.S. in Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs. I enjoy learning as much as possible about the world through science and mathematics. I have a passion for sharing science with others and teaching in general. I tutor all levels of mathematics and many sciences. My favorite math topics are algebra and trigonometry. I love these topics because they were my first real guides into the sciences. When I learned algebra a light bulb illuminated for...

...work with students in a one-on-one setting; for students to truly grasp difficult concepts, they must be able to discuss the material freely with their teacher, which is rarely possible in a classroom setting. For writing especially, one-on-one tutoring is essential to developing one's skills. As a Varsity Tutor, I hope to not only strengthen students' writing and academic performance, but also make them feel more confident in their ability to learn.
