When not tutoring, I am a playwright and lyricist, working on my second musical; a drummer playing shows throughout the city; and...

...I love and miss math. It's so satisfying to determine what 'x' equals instead of arguing endlessly controversial topics; I love doing both. Outside of film and tutoring, I love to dance both ballet, modern, and to whatever songs my roommates and I play. I would love to be your tutor. I have been working with Varsity for the last 4 years and have watched and learned how the standardized tests have changed. I'm extremely...

I believe that any student has the capacity to achieve, as long as they are able to find the right motivation and...

Almost everything that we learn is pretty easy when you boil it down, the real problem is that not everyone learns the way that the book or the teacher teaches it. So the first step is always to figure out how YOU learn, and we'll get...
