I recently graduated from Northwestern University, where I studied Theatre and Pre-Speech Pathology.

...the JHP community center, where I taught both academic and physical skills. More important than my teaching experiences, however, is my ability to touch other peoples lives. After starting college at IIT, I began to interact more with African immigrants, Latino students, and other groups. My experiences, conversations, and struggles with these individuals made me realize how racial and economic problems can affect school studies. One example was during my undergraduate studies when I noticed...

Hi! I'm a student studying Data Science and Public Health at the University of California, Berkeley. Tutoring has always been a huge passion of mine. I enjoy helping students navigate challenging subjects, particularly in mathematics, computer science, and test prep.

I am determined to teaching everyone in the way they learn best, not just one way.

...session, I use a planning backward approach, first identifying the learning target to be accomplished during the session. The second step, we discuss and assess what has already been mastered, and the third step is the teaching and learning process, the tutoring, to achieve the learning target set at the beginning of the session. We will end the session with checking if we hit the set learning target. This model works at every level, from...
