As a computer science major, I constantly practice breaking down tasks into smaller pieces, so I try to present material in small chunks as well. I know that this form of task...

I love helping others with processes I've found difficult at times myself. Having struggled with incompatible teaching methods, I know they can make all the difference in how successful a student is at a given assignment or in a class overall.

My second most commonly tutored subject is English, particularly grammar.
