I'm a 21-year-old pre-med student at UCLA studying Cognitive Science. As such, I have a solid background in biological sciences, philosophy, math up to linear algebra, computer programming, and psychology. Coming from a family of artists and musicians, I'm pretty strong in the arts and literature side too. My family is pretty artistic, but most chose to pursue the sciences for a living. My dad is a physicist and my mom a cancer researcher both have brought me up to believe that nothing is too much a sacrifice for education. As a testimony to this, they willingly moved from LA to Fullerton so that I could receive a better education at Troy High school while still commuting to work at UCLA. I try to keep faithful to this while I tutor students during the school year. I really believe that there is no such thing as a bad student and that it only takes a little bit of extra effort from both the student AND the teacher to make a difference. In fact, one of my own teachers taught me that "it doesn't matter how long it takes for you to learn something - a few hours, a few weeks - because once you've learned it, you've learned it for life!"
