...the best scores I could, but something was wrong. I had a lack of direction. I needed a mentor. When I had my first mentor, I wasn't sure he would be the right one.

...I am probably most passionate about Chemistry, Math, and English. It is particularly rewarding when some complex chemistry problem suddenly snaps into clarity. As for my approach to education, well it can be summed up in the words of Mark Twain: "I have never let schooling get in the way of my education." School can be really hard, and things aren't always taught in a way that make sense to every student. But just because...

Working in the rigorous educational environment of South Korea gave me experience helping students...

...teaching people, as I believe it's the most important thing we can do for one another as human beings - if we have the knowledge, I think we should share it with as many people as we can.

I've traveled extensively and have had some great experiences with education in other countries, like...

...creating individualized educational plans that are suited to best meet each student's needs.
