I have been an academic tutor since I started college. I didn't choose this route, everyone I had classes with asked for my assistance so often that I eventually turned it into an extra revenue stream.

I'm skilled at explaining complex things in simpler terms. I have patience and I use "relia" and other examples that relate to my student's lives to compare things to.
