Experience
I enjoy tutoring because working with someone individually not only involves education, but it is also requires an understanding of how the student learns and thinks. To me, watching the progress of the student is highly rewarding but it is just as important for me to help them find how they can enjoy learning as well.

Hobbies
Though academics have always been of high importance to me, physical fitness and sports (especially soccer and tennis) are priorities. I'd also like to become more involved in outdoor adventure sports such as kayaking and rock climbing. As a child I read constantly but school, work, and social engagements have taken over more lately and I wish to return to reading for pleasure.
