I believe patience and empathy are the keys to excel as tutor. I approach tutoring as a partnership between tutor and student forging an equal rather than hierarchical relationship. We will work together to understand the student's needs so that we can set individual...

This...

I was tutoring celebrity kids in Malibu mostly at that time. Since then, I've tutored...

The right tutor can change the way one student feels about learning and accepting challenges.

I create an easygoing environment by being myself: I'm not a lecturer, and I'm not looking to feel smarter than those I teach. I'm just value successful learning! As a student of medicine, the improvement of well-being in those I come in contact with is my north star....
