Award-Winning Korean Tutors serving Beaverton, OR

...just too bad that it took me until college to realize it. Teaching a large class, even one that seems smaller (30-40 students), is incredibly difficult when everyone learns in a different way.

This most often ranges from focusing on being able to explain concepts in words, to...

...and having a good time while seeing steady improvements has proven to provide me great joy. I believe that communication and relationship building is crucial for students to open up about their struggles and also for me to identify problems they don't realize they can improve on, so this is a key aspect of all of my lessons. During my free time, I enjoy playing sports or snacking on desserts while binge-watching Friends!

...through concepts that was difficult for both her and me to understand. At that time, I didn't have that much of a biology background myself. I was still taking AP biology class while she was taking the general biology. I wasn't even the best student in that AP class, but my AP biology teacher approached me and asked me to sit down with that friend after school and tutor her in preparation for her up...

...on the Varsity Tutors platform. Having tutored since high school, I've grown to love watching a student's face light up after realizing they finally understand. There's nothing better than knowing you helped them get to that point. Currently a senior at BYU, I study Interdisciplinary Humanities and English. I'm the oldest of a large family in Maryland, just outside of DC. If all goes as planned, I'll be a graduate student at the University of Maryland-College...

I hope to guide students by sharing my knowledge and experiences I've gained and encountered.

The rest of the story is rather anti-climatic. There was no inspired epiphany, when all the lights suddenly go on. It was more like turning the lights on in an empty gym, when the lights go on one by one and it...

...of those who were the smartest in class, but never imagined I could be at the top of my class when I was in middle school.
