Experience
As a 25-year-old college graduate, I understand the education system very well and have overcame my own struggles in academia that I once thought were impossible. I know what it's like to feel desperate and hopeless in a class, and having gone through those experiences myself allows me to resonate well with my students that are in the same predicament. I have tutored during my undergraduate studies and during graduate school once I mastered each subject because I love helping my peers any way that I can. I aim to give them the resources they need to succeed as I have. I'm able to explain concepts in a manner younger students understand by utilizing my own experiences and methods that have helped me achieve success and overcome what once seemed impossible for me. If you feel completely lost and feel like the class keeps moving forward while you're stuck trying to figure out older concepts don't worry. I know that feeling EXACTLY and I'm here to say you don't have to feel that way anymore. My entire focus is going to be on you truly understanding all the concepts you need (not just memorizing them) and getting you the highest score we can. With me its a team effort and I'm here to help. As my student, anytime you need clarification or more help you can call or text me even if were not in session! High-school to graduate levels are welcome!
