...communication and writing through obtaining degrees in both English and Bioengineering. I hope to use this interest to better myself as a teacher because I understand the keystone to teaching is communication and the ability to clearly express one's ideas.

I dealt with controversial campus-wide issues requiring compromises...

...I'm brand new here at Varsity Tutors, and I can't wait to get started! I began tutoring in the special needs classroom at my high school, which I continued in college, where I also tutored French students.

I'm interested in everything...

I enjoy teaching math and sciences because I see them as a puzzle and a...

...or "ghostwritten" more than 50 books for major publishers, many in collaboration with well-authorities in science, business, sports, and medicine. I've learned a great deal about writing and critical reading. I love to share what I've learned with students who need to express their thoughts and feelings clearly and convincingly. The ability to do that is of course very important in college application essays and written assignments. As a tutor, I've worked one-on-one with students...

I enjoy the challenge of trying to connect...

I think the competitive intensity of the classroom can hamper many students' confidence, but tutoring can remedy this by creating a safe and individualized environment for learning. Beyond tutoring, I am passionate about filmmaking, writing, photography, and international travel (my recent trips have included Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, Bosnia, Japan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Cambodia.)
