Experience
I tutored my younger brother in Math throughout his high school career and volunteered as a mentor to other students when I was in high school. I want to be a tutor because I understand the kind of frustration that comes along with not feeling able to understand a subject. I often think that misunderstanding of concepts occurs because the learning style of the student doesn't match that of the teaching style they are being exposed to. I am passionate about finding ways to help people understand things that may not come naturally to them.

Though I am very technically inclined I am a very creative person. I love to make things in my free time. I am an experienced seamstress having begun sewing at the age of 7 and working professionally as a manager in a costume shop for three years.

I love to read anything and everything including works of both fiction and nonfiction, and enjoy staying fit through group fitness classes and running.
