Bio
Dedicated tutor and award-winning college instructor. Helps students unlock their potential and explore new ideas.
I have years of experience teaching students in a personalized format. For me, the key to learning is grasping the connections between ideas, whether the subject is integral calculus, the history of philosophy, or the meanings of logical connectives. Rather than teach my students only rote memorization, I encourage them to understand why and where to apply their knowledge.
