About Me

As a rising sophomore at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva New York, I am currently focusing on studying Mathematics and Environmental Studies. Mathematics has always be my strong subject, one that I enjoy learning more about. Likewise, the environment is an important aspect of our future and I am striving towards a future where I can help our planet sustain life. Nature intrigues me and I hope to one day travel the globe for a hands on experience to study the Earth.

In high school, I become very open and involved in my community through various programs. One program, College For Every Student (CFES) exposed me to become a mentor to under classmen in my school. While being in the program I was expected to assist a younger classman in his/her homework once a week after school hours. This is when I learned that being a mentor did not only mean helping someone with homework. I also experienced what it meant to be reliable, a trustworthy person who made their self available when they were needed as a friend with helpful feedback to a situation or one who can listen when others would not. Though being a mentor is a huge responsibility, it creates a bond of friendship that helped me become more independent.

Because everyone learns differently, it is important that a bronx">tutoring builds a stable foundation with the material they are assisting with. There are many ways to approach a mathematics problem and the one thing to keep in mind is the bronx">tutor needs to use the student’s strengths to build their confidence and encourage their ability to learn. Rather than giving answers, a student needs to learn techniques and strategies that will allow them to understand the problem and how to go about solving it. In order to create a mentoring relationship, the mentor needs to establish a relationship based on respect and reliance.
