...But where I truly excel is in my ability to take decent writing and make it powerful. I know how to wield syntax and descriptive language such that a piece becomes succinct and clear.

This sort of writing does the work for the reader, bringing them exactly where the author...

This takes creativity, which is what...

...mathematics at the college level for the past 7 years. My research touches on the interactions between math and theoretical computer science, as well as number theory (largely the study of prime numbers). I've taught courses ranging from basic arithmetic up through linear algebra and multivariable calculus.

The most important thing is that we take the pressure off. The primary goal of the tutor should be to make the subject approachable and comprehensible. Once we unlock your intuitive quantitative skills you will find things like math and physics are much simpler than you thought!
