...at school. Fortunately I was accepted to Western Washington University. It was my time at Western that I found what I was capable of. Chemistry, and mathematics are such daunting subjects, I never imagined I would be able to grasp them, after all academics were not my strong suit. Through hard work, endless study sessions, and a blossoming passion I was able to prevail and call myself a scientist. My dream is to one day...

Using videos and open discussion are also good methods. Often times engagement in both verbal and written activities at the same time are great ways to learn a new subject. I enjoy quantum computing and chemistry, as well as spending...

No matter how old they are, or whether they...

...best. But what happens when you're one of the students that doesn't learn well with that technique? It was at that point, for me, that realized a tutor was my only hope of passing certain classes. Because the tutor could tell exactly where I was getting caught up, they were able to help me work through all of my weak sections. To me, it's not enough to understand a concept, but to retain that understanding....
