Prior to joining Varsity Tutors, I did work as a high school tutor and now want to continue to help students learn. I tutor test-prep, Algebra, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus.

I also worked for a tutoring agency, where I taught classes and individual students prep for the SHSAT, SAT, and the HCHS entrance exam. I first like to pinpoint my student's weaknesses.

...in college. I worked directly with any students who needed additional assistance, but also focus on one-on-one tutoring. These were the students who needed extra help, so I work with them during class to make sure they didn't fall behind and clarify questions they might have.

I legitimately had a lot of fun working with those kids, and I can honestly say that there were some teary faces on both sides when it came time to say goodbye.
