I believe that all students deserve an equal opportunity, therefore when I teach students I think that accommodation and differentiation is the most important aspect.

...at Carnegie Mellon University, where I graduated with honors with a bachelors in English and a bachelors in Music, I worked as an after school tutor in the Pittsburgh area, helping students with difficult subjects.
