...there that I discovered another of my passions: helping students who are eager to learn. My profoundly meaningful experience as a tutor led me to join Varsity after graduation. I believe in the importance of writing correctly, expressively, and effectively. Being able to express oneself precisely is vital for students of all disciplines, and indeed for all people who are involved in the difficult process of navigating human relationships. Achieving this precision, however, easier said...

After my first year of college,...

Good grades on individual assignments is not the...

...it is to have trouble with a subject so much that it feels like a "foreign" language.

...all high school history subjects for five years. I also have a Master's Degree in Eastern European History, with a focus on Children's Education in the Soviet Union.

...incredibly complex calculus and physics just to keep someone standing. Yet, for all its complexity and power, we still struggle to find the right wording for an essay. Math problems can seem too big to tackle, and new concepts and material can be difficult to grasp. That's where I come in. In 1991, Ulrich Schiefele did a review of scientific literature and found that interest helped students learn complex concepts more concretely than students who...
