Experience

- I currently tutor K through 12 students, many of whom have autism spectrum disorder, hyperlexia, and related learning disabilities, over reading and comprehension at the Lindamood-Bell Learning Process. - In the past, I have tutored peers with the Academic Advancement Program at UCLA, as well as with a private contracting company named Cardinal scholars, over topics such as the Philosophy of Science and Chemistry. - I graduated with departmental and college honors, membership in Phi Beta Kappa, a full tuition scholarship, and multiple research publications. - SAT Scores: Reading (740); Writing (750); Math General (680); Chemistry (720); Math Level 2 (750); Spanish (720) - GRE Scores: Verbal (163, 92nd Percentile); Quantitative Reasoning (162, 82nd Percentile) - I want to be a tutor because teaching a man to fish is better than giving him a fish (not to offend the fishers out there).
