...tutoring during my sophomore year at Duke University, where I earned a Bachelor's of Science in Computer Science with a minor in Mathematics. To contrast my coursework, I decided to tutor writing and explore my passion for language. My approach to tutoring focuses on exploring ideas and problem solving strategies until they become intuitive. I believe that intuition is the key to long term command of a subject. A difficult problem becomes far more digestible...

...fan of Stanford's d.school, where the curriculum is all about the "design thinking" framework for creative problem solving pioneered by the international design firm IDEO. While typically used in startups to develop new innovations, I've found it extremely handy in tutoring. Every student is different and so are their difficulties, so a finite set of ways to present a concept or tackle a difficulty is potentially limiting. In my experience, it's much more effective to...
