...personable tutor. I have over six years in education and just graduated law school. I know my "stuff" and can convey the material and concepts that you want to know, but my greatest asset may be my ability to make it matter to you and not just because "it's on the exam" (always my least favorite response when I asked "why do we have to know this?"). Learning is important and knowledge is important and...

...BS in computer science with minors in mathematics and Chinese. When I'm not studying, I'm rehearsing with the Musical Theater Club or hiking. When I'm studying, my goal is to make sure I understand why I'm doing whatever I'm doing. Whether it's Chinese grammar or a calculus problem, I want to know the reasoning behind each step. The same is true for my tutoring style. I believe it's important that students know why they are...

...by showing you the same powerful, reliable training methods I used myself. If you want to simply increase your score, I can help as well.

Whether at the college or high school level, I have always tried to make my classroom...

...on the student's ability, we could cover cover one concept per session, or multiple concepts per session. I will stay on the same topic until the student fully understands it, so the pace will be set by the student.

In an online environment, I'll be able to walk students through examples and concepts by sharing...
