Hello everyone! I am a current third year medical student who is pursuing a medical career today thanks to a few very special mentors in my academic life. My goal as a tutor is to instill in my students an excitement for learning that encourages them to reach higher goals on their own. I believe math is the gateway subject that allows students to build confidence and tackle virtually every other subject. I also love learning and speaking new languages, which is a cultural window to a world of people that we were never privy to before. I would like to pass this love of languages on to my students as well.

The Socratic method: encouraging students to engage in critical thinking is without a doubt the most powerful teaching tool to this day. If you give a student all of the answers they will never know the whys and hows. Painful though it may be, a student's confidence will increase as they realize they can arrive at correct conclusions on their own.
