Fun Facts
I am a constantly active person -- you'll often find me reading, working out or enjoying a leisurely day with my mates. I cherish my relationships dearly, whether its with my classmates, teachers, or family. I am an empathetic person and I will try to my upmost ability to help others. I am a music-addict -- I am always trying to expand my musical sphere. While I do listen to a lot of music, I am also a pianist of 12 years. I live for football, track & field, ping pong, and good Chinese food.
About Me
I am a graduate from the Illinois Math and Science Academy. I will be attending the University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign, pursuing a degree in Bioengineering this fall. I decided from a young age that I would be a professor in college - a teacher - in the future. I have been striving to reach that goal ever since. If asked the generic question - what three adjectives would your friends describe you as - I'd respond with genuine, enthusiastic, and concise -- I don't cut any corners.
Experience
As an Atlas Tutor (Tutored students in SAT and ACT. Atlas Tutors is an SAT and ACT prep service run entirely by students.), I offered students the knowledge and experiences I had garnered through my own struggles and successes with standardized tests. In high school, I was a writing center tutor as well as a peer tutor in math, chemistry, and physics. These experiences reaffirmed my aspiration and eagerness to work with others who are both my friends and tutees. I hope to continue this ambition.
Approach
Having struggled with certain subjects and standardized tests since elementary school, I know what tutees are going through. But, I wouldn't be where I am today, pursuing a degree in bioengineering, if I hadn't accumulated a set of tricks and techniques to help me understand dense material. In short: I help tutees learn how to learn. With my experience in tutoring and my enthusiasm and willingness to help others, I can be an asset to all tutees.
