As a recent high school graduate, I understand what it is like to juggle extracurriculars, AP classes, and college applications. I have sat through mundane test prep classes only to realize that I had not truly grasped the material and did not feel confident in my abilities to do well. I believe the key to excelling in a subject is to develop an interest in it along with learning the material, and this is what I hope I accomplish as a tutor for my students. I work with my students in a stress-free zone and encourage questions and discussion rather than lectures. In addition to studying engineering at the University of Miami, I have years of experience learning Russian as a native speaker. During high school I was a competitive ballroom dancer and continue to train in college.
