Summary

I am a person that loves serving and helping. The best thing in life is helping students grow and encouraging them along the way. To see them grasp something that has been struggling with, or get excited over a new thing they've just learned is extremely rewarding. I have been tutoring for 4 years now and I have had great success seeing massive improvements in kids. I like the challenge of seeing where each student is at and helping them grow and become more adept at interacting with what they are learning and the world around them.
