My preferred subjects are history, literature, reading comprehension, and writing, and I can tutor verbal sections for standardized tests including the GRE.

I also love science and learning about new discoveries but I'm more attracted to the fields that study people and societies rather than the "hard" sciences. I think some of my best traits when it comes to teaching are patience and my approach-ability. I struggled with some subjects when I was in middle school and I was lucky enough to have great teachers...

...trainer and pre-sales engineer, I co-wrote a tutorial, created class materials, and made many technical presentations about "leading edge" software, and so became skilled at explaining complex concepts.

Outside of tutoring, I love reading, comedy,...
