I'm a freshman at the College of William and Mary studying finance and computer science. I've been tutoring since high school, and love how it allows me see familiar subjects from a different perspective. In my free time, I like to play rugby, spend time with my friends, and do Model UN.

It is important not only to teach information to student, but to teach them the tools to problem solve and learn on their own.... In a first session it is important to discuss the subject and information a student wants to cover. It is also important to set expectations for me as the tutor (what the student expects from me) and expectations for the learning (I usually expect that a student try to study the material prior to the session and formulate at least a few questions for the session).

...under a variety of subjects and curricula, as well as informal tutoring-style instruction for the benefit of classmates and acquaintances all through my college career. My instructional style emphasizes clear communication and adaptability, depending heavily upon student feedback for what works and what does not work, which I use to tailor my communication style and teaching approach to the individual's needs as best I can. My hope is to be able to apply my educational...

I stand for understanding, simply because you wouldn't leave an artist...
