...the baseball team. In both academics and athletics, I have found that the key to success lies in developing a strong foundation. Part of this foundation comes from within, a basic desire to work hard and improve oneself. The second part comes from structure, a game plan on how to reach one's goals.

That’s why I love tutoring – it allows me to get to know someone and help him or her learn in a way that works. When I was in school, I felt very frustrated because I couldn’t grasp certain concepts. It wasn’t until I realized...
