...that the material is not as foreign to them as they think it is. My personal belief is that there is a connection to be made for everyone with all subjects, be it a "science" person with humanities, or an "art" person with technology.

In my spare time, I enjoy traveling abroad, playing soccer, and organizing community events.

...come up with appropriate examples. When I have time, I am a huge fan of traveling and skiing. I think traveling is a great way to both discover new places and reflect on where I'm from, and skiing speaks for itself whether in California, Japan, Austria, or Switzerland.

...studies. Having learned through past teaching experience that no two students think exactly alike, I facilitate learning by developing methods that cater to a student's personal learning style. I aim to make the learning experience feel less like a chore and more like an opportunity for self-improvement. Outside of tutoring, I indulge my addiction to crossword puzzles and enjoy foreign language studies and practicing guitar in my spare time. I believe that self-improvement, whether personal...
