Through my service with Americorps, in which I provided 300 hours of tutoring to the schools in my community, I found that many difficulties students have in math and science subjects stem from a misunderstanding of basic mathematics.

My favorite subjects to tutor are Math and Physics, particularly Calculus (whose elegance made me love math again),...

Throughout my college career, and even in high school, I have dedicated most...

Here are a few of the things I LOVE about my job: -I've worked with students who have dyslexia, ADD, ADHD, autism, aspergers, hyperlexia, auditory processing disorder, and social-emotional processing disorder. With every one of these students, I have learned more and more about what these challenges mean and have figured out...
