I firmly believe education is the key to success and am fortunate to have the opportunity to help students achieve their academic goals. Beyond tutoring, I enjoy running, going to the beach, listening to music, and cheering on...

...also comfortable teaching any age group. I like to use various examples, hands-on activities, and as many visuals as possible, rather than just reading off formulas or having students memorize definitions. I've found that it is also helpful to give students scenarios and examples that incorporate topics or hobbies they enjoy. In my experience, and despite what some people may initially believe, it is usually very easy to help students visualize math concepts or provide...
