...and humanities, as I believe it is important to have a balanced education to minimize our biases. I attempt to incorporate this philosophy into my tutoring lessons by including problems with real-world applications where possible. And as a tutor, I am very hands-on, as I believe teaching is a dance in which communication from both sides is of utmost importance. I want my students to ask questions as I am a firm believer that there...

I always loved taking standardized tests; I thought of the problems as fun puzzles. And I love sharing that outlook and enthusiasm with students who are...
