I love being able to work with students in a one-on-one setting; for students to truly grasp difficult concepts, they must be able to discuss the material freely with their teacher, which is rarely possible in a classroom setting. For writing especially, one-on-one tutoring is essential to developing one's skills. As a Varsity Tutor, I hope to not...
