...basis since the start of my junior year in college, in topics ranging from language arts to mathematics for elementary to college students. I believe that the most productive progress can be made with the one-on-one interaction tutors can have with students.

...my time there I took classes in just about every science subject they offered- which was reminiscent of High School, when I took just about every AP class my school offered. If you're sensing a theme here, you're right. I can be kind of a nerd. While at Cal I tutored other students in Physics and Chemistry, and also taught an introductory Biology lab. I also spent some time tutoring High School students in various...

My entire educational background was spent in science and math classes, often it wasn't easy for me, so I understand what it's like to struggle with something and feel like you will never understand. But if you work the problems enough times and never quit you'll get through it. And asking for help is never a bad thing, no one has ever gotten through all of this without help.... Understanding what it is you're doing is...
