I had always been passionate about English, and growing up in a household that valued language and reading so much, I was reading and writing short stories ever since I was little.

I think that in order to teach someone you have to figure out how they learn. I've been tutoring for about 4 years and I love it!... Everyone learns in different ways and at different speeds.
