...and more. Although I tutor a wide range of subjects, I am most passionate about Calculus, Statistics, and Chinese. Based on my learning and tutoring experience, I believe it is critical to learn and understand all of the concepts of the subject, practice and master the knowledge, and then apply it to real world situations. Organization in the teaching and learning of the subject plays an important role. I hope that students result in mastering...

I recognize that to be a tutor one has to...

Often times all it takes to understand a concept is an alternate way of thinking about it and I have found this eventual comprehension to be extremely rewarding for both me and the student. I spend most...

...and college exams. I have also tutored medical school courses at Harvard Medical School. I know what it's like to encounter a difficult subject, and the frustration with having to study for a particular exam, or for a course that is uninteresting but a prerequisite, which is why I have developed methods over the years to effectively study the material while enjoying the process. Studying can and should be entertaining, and that makes retaining the...
