...choice. Given my diverse academic background, I'm able to tutor a variety of subjects - algebra, geometry, chemistry, biology, writing, study skills, and Korean (I grew up speaking, reading, and writing at home much like Hispanic Americans use Spanish at home). My favorite subjects to teach are chemistry and algebra because they feel like jigsaw puzzles that at first look very difficult but gradually become easier with time. Outside of work/school, I enjoy reading for...

...feed. I have loved learning in a variety of subjects throughout my academic career, and I strive to instill a similar love in those with whom I interact.

...to discover new words, slang terminology, and expressions as they are relevant to specific formal and social situations. My dream career is to work as a translator/interpreter at the United Nations one day and I believe that becoming a Varsity Tutor will give me solid skills and training to achieve that goal.

...surely topple over, information that has no meaning or practical application in our daily lives will never be fully understood. When learning any subject you have to work from the ground up, starting with the basics and slowly building on them with more complex parts. To achieve this, I use mnemonic devices ("My Very Earthly Mother..."), analogies and metaphors and maybe a few flash cards thrown in for good measure. I find that these techniques...

My experience has taught me that, when it comes to education, learning isn't always confined to a classroom setting. I don't believe that superior performance on standardized tests is the most crucial part of one's educational experience, but high scores have become increasingly important across almost all grade levels. I have been fortunate enough throughout my academic career to have had good...
