...and helping to achieve their goals. I particularly love teaching social sciences and writing. It's so great to see a light go on when you connect a concept in economics to a story students have heard in the news, or to see a student work through an essay until she has something that makes her truly proud. When I'm not tutoring, I enjoy cooking, being outdoors, reading, traveling, and listening to nerdy podcasts.

I have spent a lot of time tutoring people of all ages -- I have worked with preschoolers, kids in elementary school, and adults.

I have spent a decade at universities focusing on these activities and subjects, and enjoy working with students one-on-one to help them master the details and appreciate the bigger picture. A tutor is uniquely positioned to identify a student's strengths and weaknesses and work with them to bring out the former and overcome the latter. In the insanely competitive and stressful environment that many high schools and universities have become, students need help...

...proactive nature would never dissipate. I enjoy asking questions, searching for answers, solidifying conclusions with experiences and sharing my journeys with others. I aspire to be a leader. "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

Education is a human right. Every single child should be fully equipped...
