...did very well. I was admitted early to Harvard my senior year, where I enrolled in Fall 2006. Long story short, my father was chronically ill, and I left school to help care for him.

This is how I can benefit my students the most, by providing the the 1-on-1 attention they need. When I start with a new student, I first work to identify the gaps in their knowledge, and then methodically fill in those gaps to help them reach a stronger conceptual understanding. I want to help...

...gain a fundamental understanding. Thus building from there to achieve a high level comprehension. The subjects that I have tutored in the past are chemistry and math; in these subjects I tend to find that students struggle with the core foundations, so when classes start to add on more complex theories or work, they get flustered.
