...Therefore, as a teacher, I make it my responsibility to open the minds of the individuals I work with. I have created a system that can be used for studying and real life situations. It is my mission to pass on my knowledge to those I work with. My education has given me the opportunity to become a strong tutor in multiple subjects. I worked in a chemistry laboratory for four years performing research on...

Giving away answers robs students of their valuable opportunity to grow as a learner by making connections between different concepts, integrating them, and applying them to a particular question. Students always walk away from tutoring sessions with more confidence when they arrive at the correct answers on their own. In my spare time, I enjoy exercising and supporting my hometown Atlanta professional...
