Hobbies
I am an easy going tutor who tries to create a system that meets and works well with every individual's needs. As someone who is not new to tutoring, I have worked in many different settings, tutoring many different subjects and am most comfortable in the sciences; however, I consider myself a strong writer. Personally, I am an avid sportsman--name anything outdoors and I most likely do it. In my free time, I like to lift weights, swim, run, play basketball, play football, and spend time with my friends. As a current medical student, my time is a bit limited, but I will do everything I can to accommodate you. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!
