I am especially passionate about reading, writing, and foreign languages. I hope to share my passion for knowledge with those around me.

My approach to problem subjects varies highly; and in proportion to a student's personal style. It is important, when teaching, to advise and not to impose my own method as most important. Independence in learning makes excellent thinkers of us all.

...language is a process that doubles one's ability to communicate with others without the need for a translator or dictionary. However, I'd say test prep is my favorite subject to tutor, as the progress has tangible results: a few points more on a standardized test that translates into more scholarships and better chances for admission...
