...to travel, read, and learn, and I love to share knowledge and learning experiences with others. Economics and English/literature are the two subjects I enjoy studying, and by extension teaching, the most, because they present two entirely different frameworks for understanding the world.

As a master's student and former medical student, I know how challenging academics can be. I also know how having a helping hand, a guidance through the confusion, can help one gain confidence in themselves to excel.

In a typical first session, the student and I usually...
