When I was in 8th grade, I was struggling with pre-algebra (I couldn't seem to wrap my head around distance/rate/time problems). I found myself loathing a class I had once loved.

...comprehension. In my role as a tutor and mentor for high school students in a college-prep program, I've enjoyed brainstorming with students to help them find themes for personal statements and other essays for college applications, then working on drafts and coaching them through the editing process. I especially enjoy working with students who want to improve their writing. Although I'm a professional writer and editor, I sometimes find it daunting to face the blank...

...to talk out difficulties when they arise. I hate memorizing, and would much prefer to make everything from Biology to History into exciting (if very small) stories that are not only easy to remember, but actively difficult to forget. I've had tutors that I hated going to, and tutors that I enjoyed spending my time with, and I do my best to emulate the latter. And, as always, I'm happy with your results when you...

...I can help others because I am a firm believer in the importance of seeking help when it is needed. In high school, I always found myself aiding my peers with their math homework, and reviewing essays for clarity and correct grammar.
