Hobbies
Writing is my passion! I especially would like to talk to people about writing and reading; I think that a love for language is critical to any field (I've read too many science textbooks written by incredibly smart people who cannot use their words to communicate ideas effectively). I can also help with college prep. In the end, I think it's most important that people are happy and passionate. My goal whenever I tutor is to get people excited about the topic, because I feel like that engenders far more success than forcing someone to succeed through rote memorization. Also, promotion of healthy study habits.
