...9 AP classes; as a student at the University of Chicago, I developed exemplary writing and critical reading skills; and as a tutor, I learned how to convey those skills to students of all ages, from many different backgrounds, in both one-on-one and group settings. Need to raise those scores? Having trouble telling a participle from a predicate? Want to make your college essay the best it can be? I'm here to help.... My role as a teacher is to help the student not just learn, but understand. I don't give students the answers; instead, I ask questions and engage their prior knowledge to lead them there themselves. Learning is an active process, never a passive one.
