Bio
I'm a Harvard graduate who loves teaching and learning. I am a sports and music nut, and I never give up until I've seen something through!
I tutored some of my peers while in high school, and have had piecemeal tutoring jobs since then. I have also often tutored my younger brothers and cousins, allowing me to learn how to effectively communicate with younger students and talk to them on their level. I believe that anyone can grasp concepts; it is simply a matter of finding the right method!
