Tutoring is a way for me to repay a debt I feel I owe to my own teachers by helping others succeed where my teachers helped me succeed.

Now...

When I start with a new student, I first work to identify the gaps in their knowledge, and then methodically fill in those gaps to help them reach a stronger conceptual understanding. I want to help my students as much as possible. As part of my approach, I like to understand my students' long term academic or...

...this, I am very friendly! I enjoy reading, questioning, thinking, and exploring the world. I have been to Europe twice and went to summer school there to study German Language.
