...the opportunity gap for high need students by providing small group math instruction. I find the most excitement in tutoring middle school math and science, Algebra I, and General Biology.

I want to help students by giving them multiple access points and allowing them to access whatever...

...Arizona in August, 2014. From my experience teaching swimming and skiing lessons in High School, I not only found that I enjoyed teaching, but I was also very good at it. This experience coupled with my passion for Math and Science sparked my interest in becoming a tutor. In my free time, I enjoy playing and watching sports, reading books, and watching movies. I look forward to meeting and helping my tutees.
