From teaching nursery-age kids the alphabet to being an AP biology teacher to tutoring my younger brother in Spanish, I always find myself educating someone.

My other influential experiences in the realm of tutoring and mentorship are in my volunteering and tennis activities. I coached medium to advanced...
