Today's young males, specifically, lack positive role models that speak and demonstrate how a man conducts himself in a vibrant and moral society. Lately, passion and urgency are driving my commitment to become a teacher.

...exam. I excelled in undergraduate coursework pertaining to these subjects and have prior experience in assisting pre-professional (pre-medical and pre-nursing) students looking to succeed in their required general science classes. My tutoring methodology is dependent on the establishment of a strong conceptual framework, and subsequent application of theory through practice problems (the best way to master any pure science). I frequently employ the use of problem sets and practice tests to monitor my students' progress.
