I can take any piece of literature, and break it down for anyone to understand. I have conducted numerous readings to people, and always go out of my way to help them understand the subject matter. I have mentored various people since 2000, in all types of subjects, including math, science, social sciences, English, writing, literature, and other related subjects. My academic record is very strong, and I believe empowering those I work with every single time. The only pre-requisites are that you have to be willing to learn, and learn how to learn.

I believe in building on successes, and offering constructive criticism, where appropriate.
