I think that planning is a very important skill as well and I like to work with all of my students with planning.

I am excited to revisit these academic interests as a tutor during my "gap year" before I attend medical school next year. Although I spend a lot of time with "my nose in the books," I pounce on any excuse to go outdoors during my free time.
